CAREER COACHING

We seek purpose and meaning through our life’s work. Whether creating art or an elegant software program, inspiring through leadership or healing through touch; when we align who we are with what we do we become empowered and more fully alive.

Where are you in the career development process? Coaching sessions will be tailored to your needs in one or more of the following areas:

  • Self-knowledge and awareness – What are your strengths, skills, interests, and values? What’s your purpose in pursuing a particular career? Through coaching and career assessments, we’ll discover and affirm who you are and what you offer, and focus on what’s most important to you in the world of work.

  • Exploring options and making connections – What occupations and organizations are a good fit for you? What’s the job outlook in your area of interest? How can you access career opportunities? Coaching sessions will guide and support research, reflection, and evaluation. We’ll consider informational interviews, and how to develop or expand a professional network focused on your career goals.

  • Job search strategies and skills, and professional brand – Do you feel confident in yourself, your strategies, and your materials? Do you present yourself in a professional, authentic way? We’ll work together to develop a genuine, professional image that reflects the best you have to offer, and identify job search strategies that help you reach people and places that match your goals.

    Will your resume and LinkedIn profile impress hiring managers? Can you ace the job interview, and effectively negotiate your compensation? We’ll update or create your resume and LinkedIn profile to reflect your strengths and current goals, practice powerful interviewing skills, and ensure you’re well prepared to negotiate the income and benefits you desire.

LIFE COACHING

Whether you’re actively seeking growth and development, moving through predictable or unexpected life transitions, or responding to external events that have caused you to reevaluate your choices, life coaching can offer support.

Coaching sessions focus on what’s most important to you, and offer exploration, support, and growth in the following areas:

  • What’s the future you’d like to create? What are you longing for, or moving toward? How will you become the best version of you? In a safe, caring, and affirming space, we’ll explore what’s next.

  • What makes you uniquely you? What are your strengths? What do you value? What are the gifts in your experiences? We’ll identify how these connect with your desired future, and if you’re curious, we’ll explore your Enneagram point of view to understand your motivations and opportunities for growth.

  • What are the influences that have shaped you? What stage of life do you find yourself in? How do you identify? What is your relationship to family, faith, and/or culture? We’ll be curious about the ways these and other influences have contributed to the person you are, and how they relate to your desired future.

  • What are the patterns that keep you from achieving your goals? How do you respond under pressure? Do you move toward to appease, away to protect? Do you stand and fight, or freeze? We’ll acknowledge and honor the gifts in these patterns and explore practices that help you transform them.

  • How will you reach your goal? Does your desired future seem unachievable? Are you lost in the fog of transition? Are you wondering where to begin? We’ll partner to identify manageable steps to help you reach your goals, and enjoy the journey along the way.

TESTIMONIALS

Coaching with Kimberly changed my life. She is especially good with people in transition … [S]he will help you find a path that uses your strengths while giving you room to grow, and support you through opportunities to change and become the best you can be. My original goal was to become a better leader in a management role to which I was promoted. We created a plan for my development and I am now in a leadership position with a broader focus in another organization with a wonderful boss and supportive coworkers.”

“Kimberly’s coaching style is fun, positive, adaptive, and goal oriented. I left each session feeling like I made substantial improvements on my papers. Kimberly was my editor, cheerleader, and sounding board. Through our work together I accomplished my goals and created work that I am proud of. After my first few weeks with Kimberly, I was already sharing her name with people. [She] goes above and beyond. I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her.”
