The best Christmas gift for yourself pays off long after the cookies are eaten and the tree’s been taken down. What is it? Career coaching.
Why is career coaching the best Christmas gift for yourself?
Career coaching can help you get the job you want, boost your confidence, and set you up for long-term success. For instance, if you’re job searching but not getting interviews or offers (or the right interviews or offers), a coach can help you retool how you’re presenting yourself to employers. You’ll use those skills and strategy in every job search for the rest of your life, which means you’ll go further and faster than you could have before. Especially if you’ve been fired or laid off, a career coach can help you get past that and get hired.
Confidence is everything in your job search and your career. Confidence is the element you need to ask for a raise, go for a promotion, or go after a higher-level job somewhere else. Simply having a plan can work wonders, but so can hearing an unbiased, realistic assessment of how you stack up compared to others in your space. Get rid of imposter syndrome, get a realistic picture of your true value, and go for your goals!

What to expect from a career coaching session
If you schedule some coaching time with me, here’s how it works: You buy the time and then schedule the session(s). Most people break up the sessions so that they can take what they learned from a call and work on it a bit before we talk again. We’ll talk by phone or Skype, and we can record the call for you to listen to again later (many people love this option so they don’t forget anything).
