Career Consulting
RESOURCES AND GUIDANCE YOU CAN USE
Know yourself and the career landscape, and take informed action. Find out how to make choices that align with who you are at your core. Discover your skills and prioritize your values so that you can create your ideal career and life. This process allows you to be at your best at work and at home, and create boundaries to support yourself.
Whether your concern is career/life integration, strategic career management, a career transition, an encore career, or something else, career consulting will help you get to know yourself. I will guide you through reflection and assessments, exploring possibilities by doing research and making choices. The result is a decision and then putting a plan into action.
This process can help you with a variety of professional challenges and opportunities, including:
goal clarity
building your personal brand
navigating office dynamics
earning the income you deserve
breaking through barriers
increased confidence
improved communication and performance

“Lisa was able to quickly assess what my focal points were and review with me the steps I needed to take to prepare for competing for my next role. Some of the work involved self-reflection, research, writing (resumé/cover letter) and running through mock interview questions. My last interview performance was substantially improved and netted me an offer to take another positive step in my career. Given Lisa’s ability to listen, reflect back, respectfully challenge, and put one at ease, I recommend her to anyone looking to make that next step.”
