Executive Level

Executive Coaching

Executive coaching is needed at a few times in life, none so much as after years of successful employment which ends abruptly.

Angst and anger can occur. Many people enter their jobs and expected that if they worked hard and were productive everything would be ok. That is not true and individuals constantly need to manage their career development by networking and attending professional meetings.

This can be daunting for many individuals and a career counselor can help one navigate their professional course.

Important: One’s anger can be directed towards oneself and depression can result. Talking with a trusted credentialed individual is key. As a licensed mental health counselor I can assist you during this turbulent disturbing time.

Career Re-entry

Returning to Work After Hiatus

A period of introspection and lack of confidence as to one’s skills and value in the workplace can be questioned. Becoming overwhelmed with the job search process is common.

Hidden Skills You've Developed

An individual needs to recognize the additional skills that may have been developed during that time such as:

$
Time management
$
Conflict resolution
$
Organizing widely diverse activities
New Interests & Opportunities

After changes in your employment status, one may have developed an array of interests that can be expanded upon such as:

Healthcare
$
Fundraising

Local community activities

Career counseling can help one identify their interests and relate them to career opportunities. Career slumps can be overcome by working with a career counselor.
