Dreams to Careers - Career Coaching

"Feel yourself being
quietly drawn by
the deeper pull of what
you truly love"

— Rumi

Helping You Enjoy Your Work

My mission is to help people enjoy their work, and I would like to help you! If you are facing career challenges, I'm here to help. Get started by reading some articles for career-related exercises and idea. Sign up for my newsletter. And when you're ready to find out about individual advising, give me a call at 434-295-1389. I work with people both in person (in Charlottesville, VA) and by phone.

What Career Advising Can Do for You:

Improve your current job
Clarify and revisit your values, interests, and goals
Devise ways to experience greater fulfillment in your current work
Help you find a new job
Build a distinct picture of your ideal career, life, and job
Identify skills you can transfer from your current career to a new one
Plan an effective job search
Locate relevant resources for your job search and/or career change
Create resumes, CVs, cover letters, and other documents

In the book I Could Do Anything if I Only Knew What It Was, Barbara Sher states, "Good luck happens when you are in action." But not all actions are equal. I want you to choose actions that are simple, highly effective, and most fitting for YOU. Your career (and the steps you take on the way there) can be as unique as your dreams.

You might have noticed that there is a dreamwork section to this web site as well. On the articles page, you'll find dreamwork case studies and tips on remembering your dreams. Career changers can explore nighttime dreams as one way to use intuition in the career transition process.

A Different Kind of Career Planning:

My personal philosophy is that career planning really comes down to one thing - over and over again, you move in the direction of YES. In large and small decisions, you choose to move toward the things, ideas, people and jobs that pull you, that inspire you, that best fit your evolving identity.

What does following a YES look like? When deciding whom to call for informational interviews each other, you first focus on the people who interest you the most. When presented with two jobs, you choose the one that meets your criteria, feels best and makes sense in your life.

What does this type of decision-making require? First, it requires the ability to discriminate between options (the ability to discern YES from no). Second, it requires fidelity; you need to faithfully act in accordance with your truest self.

You might be out of practice with these two skills. Luckily, you can practice these habits both within and outside of career planning endeavors. Luckily, you can shift to the Path of YES at any time.

If this idea intrigues you, talk to me about how your career planning process can also be a chance to practice noticing the YES/NO difference and following the path your true self then takes you down.

Enjoy!
