Ellen O'Brien Email & Phone Number

My dear friend Kate calls me a “thought provocateur.” A former colleague named me “Chief Perspective Officer,” while another offered that I motivated him by asking questions, rather than providing answers.When it comes to careers – and life in general – my favorite question is: ARE YOUR ACTIONS ALIGNED WITH YOUR ASPIRATIONS? In other words, are you doing what you can/should be doing to achieve the career and life results you say you want to achieve? Are you investing thought, time, positive energy, and In terms of career, I believe the investment you’re willing to make in yourself is likely to be proportionate to what a Company/Organization will do when you’re looking for a new/growth opportunity or even a new job/career. So, if you won’t invest in you, why should someone else? If you can’t see your value, your possibilities, how can you communicate them – with conviction - to someone else?It’s pretty much true about we want from our lives and the people in them. If we spend all our time on the negative – and a fair amount among us do – we create more negative: I’m not, I can’t, I don’t, I’m old, I’m too expensive. It’s not about what you’re not; it’s about what/who you are!So, who are you and what do you have to offer? What’s your value, your ‘story?’I can help you answer these questions. I can help you identify your value, shape your career ‘story,’ recognize your contributions, and re/build confidence in what you have to offer. And, have fun doing it!What can you expect from me?√Authenticity√ Personal Attention (I start from scratch, no Chat GPT)√Fresh perspectives and provocative questions√Straight talk√ Engaged Listening√ Collaborative partnership√ “Homework”√ A solid résumé, LinkedIn profile, job strategy – or just a chat√ Ongoing support and encouragementLet’s talk.
