Thanks for stopping by! If you are ready to create positive changes and growth in your career and life, give yourself a few moments to look at the services and resources offered here. My aim is to help you join the growing numbers of people who are doing the kind of work and living the kind of life they believe in - one of purpose, creativity, contribution, and abundance.

Surveys show that nearly 70% of all working people report that they are unhappy in their jobs. The trouble is, most of them never do anything about it. Identifying your life's work may well be the single most important discovery you'll ever make. Today, the average American spends nearly 50 hours per week on the job. Since you spend so much time at work, dissatisfaction in your career affects all aspects of your life - including your physical and emotional health, your relationships, and your financial health. On the other hand, when your work reflects who you truly are, it has a positive impact on all of these important areas.

Each of us is a unique individual with our own natural gifts, our own set of talents and strengths, as well as our own aspirations, dreams and creative visions. Yet, many people never take the time to clarify their goals - to understand why they are here, what they really want, and what will be the most fulfilling use of their time and energy. Life is too short to spend doing things you don’t want to do and missing out on expressing your purpose, passion and gifts.

You know if it is time to do something about it. You may feel a nagging sense that you have gifts to share that have, so far, gone unexpressed. You may be frustrated by a work situation that leaves you with the feeling that life is passing you by. Perhaps you are about to graduate from high school or college and have yet to take the time to figure out what to do with your life beyond the classroom. Perhaps you have recently been laid off and want to use this situation as an opportunity to chart a path to a more fulfilling experience of work. Or, maybe you have a general idea of what you would like to do, and want to explore it in greater depth and develop it into something real.

Whatever your situation, you don't have to just tolerate life, settle for less than your best, or let your dreams fade away. You can find your life's purpose and passion, and create the career and life you really want. The guidance and support you receive throughout your coaching sessions helps you persevere through the process of gaining clarity and resolve - and keeps you on track and moving through potential blocks and obstacles. You will come away from your sessions knowing exactly what you are after, and armed with a plan for realizing it.

Make the commitment to yourself to find and do the work that is right for you, and begin creating the life that you want to live. There is no time like the present, and you CAN make it happen! Whether you choose career coaching, career assessment testing, job search assistance, life coaching, research resources or any combination thereof, you'll find support that energizes your career quest and empowers your personal growth and creativity.
