I get it – so many people talk about career coaching, but it's hard to know who is the real deal.

The thing I am unquestionably experienced at is teaching people how to tell better stories -- especially in person. I've taught drama since the late '90s, and it is my main love. I still remember the first time an adult student said they got a promotion at work because of what they learned in my class.

I have a talent for being able to see what people are trying to communicate about their work. I spot what words and mannerisms would make someone question your credibility. And, then I coach you on how to change that.

So, for the story development and telling -- this is my thing (or jam as some say).

The career coaching part is new and old. I learned how to be a coach while working as a Career Transition Consultant at an HR firm in 2013. Since then, I've led a Career Development team at the Government of Manitoba, coached hundreds of people in organizations around the world on how to communicate their awesome at work, and wrote an Amazon best-selling resume book, The Career Stories Method.

I have a B.A in Theatre, M.Ed in Humane Education, and an HR Certificate. I am a Lead Unified Mindfulness Coach.

The material and methods used in the Career Intensive are designed for people who have worked for over 10 years, are doers, and are self-motivated. The people who get the best results (minimum of $20k raises) are usually currently employed, but underpaid.

In the past, about 50% of the participants are entrepreneurs (coaches or therapists) working to update their stories. The other 50% were seeking traditional work.

This program comes with loads of feedback and advice, but you're expected to do the work in-between and submit work weekly for feedback.

The process works best when you:

- access the training
- do the work
- use the weekly feedback

If you need a lot of hand-holding, this program won't work for you.

The Career Intensive program is less 1-1 time with me but gives you full access to client-only material. Each program comes with a monthly private 20-minute call for three months, office hours, and group work sessions.

Through my regular coaching program, I often

have several 60-90 minute coaching sessions a month with each client where I'm listening to their stories, working out a strategy, and practicing interview answers with them
am the one writing the resume, LinkedIn profile, and other materials for a client

The cost for regular coaching programs is $1,500 USD a month.

That's probably a good sign you are in the right place. Most of my clients are senior leaders in their companies. At this point in your career, you need to take a bit of time to ensure the next step is right for you.

Most people who thrive in this program are CEOs, Executive Directors, and/or specialists of some sort. I do best with creatives, kind-hearted people, and people transitioning from low-paying not-for-profit work to industry.
