Is Coaching for You?

Taking your career to the next level takes vision, focus and determination. You must focus on what you want to achieve. What will it take? Are you ambitious enough to expend your attention and energy on your desired future? Do you take the time to step back from the detail to see the grander picture? Are you willing to invest in yourself?

Here’s a list of the typical occupations that I have helped make great strides in their careers:

• Directors, managers or supervisors in cross cultural government settings
• Program coordinators in government and educational institutions
• Owners of small service businesses
• Sole practitioners, proprietors and home businesses
• Individuals planning a transition
