GROWTH

Unlock Your Potential

If you’re feeling stuck in your career, sometimes an outside perspective can give you clarity. Your time is your most valuable resource and with private coaching, you can unlock your potential quicker and with more authority!

What does career coaching cover?

Do you feel your career has been a bit directionless? Not sure where to even start with starting over? Or wondering what kind of strategy you should take to get yourself back on your feet? Then this is might be for you.

There are no boundaries to what can be covered in career coaching. Sometimes, you just need someone objective to vent to. Or maybe you need someone to help you get “unstuck” in your career. And maybe you’re entry-level and want the best possible career path right out of the gate.

So how does the coaching program work?

The “Power-Up” Coaching Program

Identifying Your Career “Northern Light”

To start of our sessions, we do a deep dive into your current career outlook and where you want to grow. We establish overall strategic vision and where you may have gone off track. This session sets the stage for everything else we’ll do. Most clients find this to be a very eye-opening exercise.

Defining Your Competencies

In this session, we create a pathway to reach your ultimate career goals with a skill gap analysis. This is a deep exercise we do together and will give you a clear roadmap for development and will play a direct role in determining your job search, interview and resume strategies.

Resume Review

In this session, we review your resume and cover letter in detail and provide detailed feedback. We then develop core strategies to write and utilize your resume/cover letter to get the best results.

Interview Prep

In this session, we’ll define your job search strategy and how to best approach employers. We’ll then discuss how to ace the interview utilizing both STAR formats and some powerful interview techniques.

Networking 101

In order to achieve your strongest career potential, networking is a requirement. You simply cannot achieve long term growth without it. We’ll discuss LinkedIn strategy, leveraging your existing networks and how to position yourself as a “superstar”.

Ongoing Support

In follow up sessions, we review job search progress, interview performance, recalibration and offer negotiation techniques. These sessions are optional and on an as-need basis.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

Commonly asked questions about career coaching!

If you’ve been feeling stuck in your career, sometimes a fresh set of eyes can help clarify your situation. We only have a certain amount of time in our career and you can’t really afford to waste it.

I have no minimum requirements. Some people get the answers they need in just one session. However, most of my coaching clients come back for multiple sessions because they discover that there’s so much more that goes into a solid career strategy than they first realized.

Just about anything from finding career direction, taking ownership of your career, “unsticking” your career, direction, job-hunting strategy, marketing yourself, interview practice and mock interviews, how to approach assessments like the Caliper, Wonderlic, and other personality profiles. 

We can also cover side hustle idea generation to truly unlock your earning potential.

Some clients want an HR perspective to a challenging workplace issue they are dealing with.

I do not, however, advise you which specific job type or career you should pursue. That’s too much responsibility to place on me. Instead, I’ll give you a methodology to find what resonates with most, and a framework for how to achieve it.

Like any professional service, what you get out of it is what you put into it. Countless people have found these sessions extremely valuable, and most people come back for multiple sessions.

And while I can’t guarantee you’ll get the job of your dreams (and frankly, anyone who can is not being truthful with you), I can ensure that the information I will provide is factual, relevant, and not designed to just “make you feel good”.

It’s designed to help you achieve your goals, even when it’s not an easy message to hear. Anything less than that would be ingenuine.

Please note that there are no refunds for career coaching – review the refunds policy carefully before booking.

I’d first suggest watching many of my Youtube and TikTok videos before booking a session. They’ll give you hours of valuable coaching for free. If you feel you need more personalized help then would I suggest scheduling a private call.

While I do appreciate all the questions I get through all of my social channels and email, I simply don’t have the bandwidth to respond to each of them.

And out of respect for my paying clients, I am happy to provide “mini sessions” – shorter 15 mins sessions to get those questions answered without committing to a full session.

Please note that this is designed for a specific question and will not cover a resume reviews, or “I need help finding a job, what should I do” topics that require more than 15 mins to discuss.

My advice is universal, no matter which career path or job type. Anyone who values their career can benefit from these sessions. However, if you need very specialized help in a particular career path, I’d suggest looking for an industry-specific expert.

While I’m aware that some coaches offer free introductory consultations, I do not. I have a few reasons why.

1. Due to the volume of inquiries I get, I simply do not have bandwidth to conduct them and continue to provide all the great content.

2. I’ve established a boundary and actively look for ways to balance my work with my family life. (While I appreciate all the personal notes, I just don’t have time to answer specific career-questions outside of a formal coaching call)

3. A core value of my business is “acting like the CEO of your career”. I teach you to value your own time and money, and I practice what I preach.

I do provide countless hours of free advice on my social channels, blog and LinkedIn, which I would encourage you to check out.

If you’re still unsure about me, my style or credentials, then it probably isn’t a good mutual fit.

That said, we’re happy to answer questions about the services we provide, just send us a note!

One of the core principles of my coursework and coaching is to value your time and expertise properly. I would be ingenuine to my own principles by discounting my value and therefore do not offer discounted rates.

However, I offer countless hours of free advice on my Youtube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and blog channels. I’d highly encourage you to check those out until you’re ready to move forward with a session.

I do occasionally offer special promotions for my courses to my newsletter subscribers. If you’re interesting in signing up (it’s 100% FREE), click here.

The Power-Up program is the suggested framework for career coaching, however you may use the sessions anyway you like. Want to talk interview strategy for all 5 sessions? Or perhaps spend most of the time discussing a career challenge or obstacle? It’s up to you!

To schedule a consultation and check the availability of times, please fill out the form at the bottom of this page. Once received, our team will reach out to you within 48 business hours to send you onboarding materials, payment, and scheduling info. Please note that your time is not reserved until payment is made; others may take that spot.

A few things to note:

Securing Your Spot

Your time slot is secured only after payment has been made. Time slots are on a first-come-first served basis, and another client may book your spot if payment hasn’t been made. To avoid delays or cutting into your scheduled time, please make sure payment has been made before the session begins.

I ask that you please be prompt for your session. If you’re late, I cannot make up the time by running long. I usually have scheduled back-to-back appointments, and it wouldn’t be fair to the person in line next to have to wait.

Sessions start and end promptly at the time scheduled. Out of respect for my other clients, I cannot offer extended sessions.

Refunds/Cancellations

There are no refunds for missed appointments that have not been rescheduled or canceled in advance, so please mark your calendar with reminders.

For cancellations, it’s understandable that things come up or you decide to go in another direction. I just ask for the courtesy of a 48-hour advanced notice otherwise there will be a no refund. I can’t book other appointments on that short notice to fill your spot. If you cancel with more than 48-hours advanced notice, there’s no fee, and you’ll get a full refund.

Rescheduling requests within this 48-hour window are subject to a $100 fee. There is no fee if you request a reschedule 48 hours or more before your originally scheduled time.

All sessions are in Central Standard Time Zone (Chicago). You are responsible for confirming the time in your time zone. Missing a call due to misunderstanding the time zone is subject to a $100 rescheduling fee. Please pay close attention to your scheduled time!

If you change your mind prior to the session, I’m happy to refund you. However, once the session has been completed, there are no refunds.

For sessions, I may record timestamps in the beginning, to ensure we’ve made contact at the agreed time. However, I do not provide recordings of the session.

Please note: I am typically booked 2-3 weeks in advance. I usually reserve weekend mornings to accommodate my overseas clients to account for time differences. However, if your situation necessitates a faster turnaround time, I can sometimes squeeze in emergency sessions with a $100 premium. Contact me about specific availability requests.
