We will define the best version of yourself by exploring your story, purpose and aspirations in order to grow professionally in the work space. I help you determine what you desire, and put it into a clear mission statement. Often in the context of career coaching, we will cover career selection/transition, personal branding and employability skills. (Typically 5 sessions but is based on need)
The Purpose Quest Workshop provides a vehicle to begin the pursuit of purpose – not from a perspective of finding one thing, but from a viewpoint that incorporates many aspects of your life every day. (Month Long Program-Once a week)
Let employers (or yourself) know who you are and why your talents are exceptional by combining the results of a series of assessments in one document. (typically 1-2 Hour Session, which could extend to Week-Long/Multiple-Week Program)
By engaging in dynamic activities and meaningful conversations, we'll guide you to define your 'what's next' using this framework:
S (Story) - Who will I become?
P (Purpose) - What will I do?
A (Aspirations) - Where will I go?
R (Reflection) - How am I doing?
C (Connection) - Who will join me?
K (Kick-Start) - When will I start? (Now!)
This work is based on the three pillars:
I. Know Yourself
II. Serve Profoundly
III. Find Your Right Opportunities
All sessions involve activities and feedback providing opportunities for movement.
I am a creative thinker in constant growth mode taking every opportunity to develop the dreams and skills of others. I am centered in "possibility thinking" to maximize our time on earth. My positivity is contagious causing me to build relationships and connections wherever I go. Because I authentically cultivate trust and engagement, I thrive as a coach, advisor, mentor and speaker. I obtained my Master degree in 2010 in Counseling leading me to the non-profit arena, and ultimately launching me into the world of Human Resources. As a recruiter since 2014, I daily meet people looking for change and have evaluated thousands of resumes. In search for fresh knowledge I obtained the NCDA credential as a Certified Career Counselor (CCC) and Catalyst Champion Coach in recent years.
I live in New York with daily inspiration from my Orthodox Christian faith, my husband (Fr. Theodotus), two children, mentor Bill Johnson and four chickens. In my spare time I play in a concert band, and fill notebooks with ideas.
The National Career Development Association (NCDA) defines career counseling as:
“A process in which a counselor and client work together to explore, understand, and address career-related issues, including career development, career choice, career adjustment, and work-related challenges. Career counseling provides guidance, support, and strategies to help individuals make informed decisions about their careers and to manage career transitions effectively.”
