Career Coaching
Clarity. Direction. Empowerment.
New to Career Coaching? Here you'll find information on what Career Coaching is, when it helps, and how it works.
What is Career Coaching?
Expert guidance and accountability defining & pursuing your professional goals.
Career coaching is a collaborative partnership where you work with a trained professional to navigate your professional journey with clarity and confidence.
I'm a career and certified life coach (Martha Beck Inc.) with 10+ years working with clients in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and internationally. I help clients achieve their personal and professional goals more efficiently and effectively by connecting the dots and getting to the heart of the matter.
Understanding When Career Coaching Helps
Career coaching helps with creating actionable steps toward meaningful career goals.
Unlike mentors who share advice from their own experience, career coaches ask powerful questions that help you discover your own answers—whether you're making a career pivot, negotiating a promotion, improving work-life boundaries, or rediscovering what energizes you. A good coach doesn't hand you a one-size-fits-all roadmap; they help you build your own, one that honours your values, plays to your unique talents, and fits the life you actually want to live.
​
When You Should Consider Therapy Instead:
​If you're experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health concerns, therapy is a better fit. career coaching complements therapy, but doesn't replace it.
When is Career Coaching Right for You?
Here are some questions to see if career coaching is right for you?
​
-
Are you feeling stuck or uncertain about your next move?
-
Are you contemplating a career change but unsure where to start?
-
Are you feeling you know you're capable of more but can't quite articulate what that looks like?
-
Are you seeking better alignment between your work and your values?
-
Are you preparing for a significant transition like a promotion or return to work after a break?​
-
Are you're navigating workplace challenges or difficult decisions?
-
Are you job searching and want to approach it strategically?
-
Do you feel you need to build confidence for negotiations or leadership roles?
-
Do you want an objective partner to help you think through your options and move forward with intention?
​
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you'd most likely benefit from seeing a career coach.
How Career Coaching Works
Although career coaching can have similar components, every career coach has their different style and format. Here's an idea of the work I do with clients.
One–to–One Career Coaching Sessions
I work with clients one to one as opposed to group coaching. By working with clients one to one, I'm able to go deeper and learn more about them in order to help them identify and achieve authentic goals.
Career Coaching Customized to You
Because I offer packages, not a set or one size fits all program, I'm able to customize sessions and the package to meet the needs of the client. This includes customizing exercises and resources to aid the client's progress.
Structured and Goal Specific
Even though sessions and packages are customized, we work within a certain structure. I offer 3, 6, and 12 month coaching packages. Something you can learn more about here. Sessions are also structured into three parts, guided by specific goals, in order to facilitate effective change.
