Career Coaching

"When work is no more than a means to an end, it cannot be of high quality (or satisfaction) - Eckhart Tolle

• Are you frustrated with the progress of your career?

• Do you have skills & abilities you are not using in your current job?

• Can you see yourself doing the same thing 5 or 10 years from now?

• Would you like to develop better leadership or management skills?

• Do you know what you want to do, but don't know how to get there?

If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, you can benefit from Business Management Coaching, or Career Coaching. I would like to invite you to make this your year to thrive! Make a simple commitment to transform your career and your life instead of "marking time" and letting fantastic opportunities pass you by!

Career Coaching Services for Transitions is also a terrific way to help improve communication skills and put your best foot forward while navigating career transition or expanding your current career path.

As someone who gets bored easily, thrives on challenge and is somewhat of a generalist, I am empathetic to people who struggle answering the question "what do I want to be/do when I grow up?" While many people make tremendous strides using self-help tools and assessments, it often takes a bit more support to get over the "hump" when it comes to designing a more extraordinary and successful career.

If having someone help you create strategy, structure and solutions would enhance your momentum, then our career guide --"Career-Map -tools for designing a career path that fits your life" or a few coaching sessions could be the answer.

Ask yourself the following questions:

1. Would you really rather be doing something else for a living?

2. Deep down do you know there's something better out there for you?

3. Even if you're one of the lucky ones who like their work, ask yourself "Is this my dream job?"

4. What are you going to do about it?

Then, if you are ready to take control of your career path, let's schedule an introductory session so we can get to know each other better and discuss the results you want to attain.

“Most importantly, I have to credit Mickey with giving me the courage to leave the corporate world and start chasing the passions and goals that truly make me happy." -Lee/California

“I knew there was more to life (& work), but I needed help deciding what direction to go - what to do with my career. Working with Mickey helped me do that.  I'm feeling great and more confident" -Matt/Illinois

"Mickey has provided me with the counsel, coaching and support that was necessary to triumph over many life challenges, including unemployment, the decision to start my own business, personal challenges with the terminal illness of my husband and the creation of my first book." -Jo/California

"Thank you! I need this guidance to move forward effectively. I wish I had met you 10 years ago - but, I know it is never too late. Just wanted to let you know I had a very good experience." -Candy/Georgia 

“The Xerox Corporation carried out several coaching-related studies, one of which showed that in the absence of follow-up coaching 87% of the skills change brought about by the program was lost.  That’s 87 cents in the skills dollar.  However good your skills training in the classroom, unless it’s followed up on the job, most of its effectiveness is lost without follow-up coaching.  For example: Most sales people try out the new skills for a few calls, find that they feel awkward and the new method isn’t bringing instant results, so they go back to their old ways.
