What My Clients Are Saying about My Work with Them:
“I really cannot say enough positive things about the program and how you helped coach me through it. I really loved the exercises that Carol has developed; I think they are presented in a way that is very effective. I felt that I was being guided and I really felt supported (both by the program itself and you--especially you). I think it is more effective to do with a coach.”
-- Darcy, Business Management, Denver, CO

I have made many career changes in my life, some out of choice, some out of necessity. I started out my career in telemarketing sales during high school as I paid my own way through private school. I found that I actually enjoy sales and talking to people. I also worked as a legal secretary / law clerk for 3 years during college as I thought I wanted to be a lawyer. After my first layoff, I worked part time as a tutor at a small business school which eventually led to me teaching Reading, Math, Language and Study Skills to college level students. This led to a job as a Career Counselor and Teacher at the College.
I got my big break into the Corporate world after applying for a unique Training Manager position at Abbott Laboratories which involved dealing with adults struggling with Reading and Math. I did this for 2 ½ years and, you guessed it, was laid off again. Thankfully, I hit the pavement within the company and found a Recruiter position which got me into the Human Resources field. I was a recruiter for 5 years at 2 companies: a healthcare company and a telecommunications company. I hired the 1,400 people at all levels from that experience. I got laid off again and decided to change focus to get into more employee relations type of Human Resources. I did that for 3 years and, after the 4th layoff of my career, decided that I was going to do what I really enjoy – coaching people on career issues.
I am truly pumped when people create a new vision of themselves which is in alignment with their values. I enjoy helping people figure out what satisfies them, learn about their skills and then apply that learning to the career discovery process.
I love many aspects of the CCP but the one thing that sticks out is the creative way Carol designed the program to randomly select a sampling of the person’s skills and interests to generate many career options. It is creative and powerful because in many cases it is something very unique and fulfilling for the individual.
I help my clients get clear on what they must have, would like to have and need to avoid in their career in order to be satisfied. I have worked with clients on major shifts as well as minor tweaks to help them be more aware of career satisfaction. I also help people get more information, both from the computer AND the real world of people and places, to get a more realistic picture of what it would be like to go into a new arena.
If they are in the Denver area, it’s a combination of face to face and phone communication. I lead the person through the program and they do the homework. In our coaching sessions, we discuss the a has and the barriers that they are facing to moving through this challenging process. If the person is outside of Denver, it’s all over the phone where they do the assignments, I read them before the session and we discuss, problem solve and plan in the coaching session.
