“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples." Mother TeresaAdventure and variety combined with economic impact have affected my journey. Assisting others in their career transition has become my passion. Change can be difficult and challenging, yet, brings the opportunity to optimize ones talents and strengths. It is the result of my transformational process that I have learned to coach and challenge others to connect to their authentic selves, discover their passion and create a sustainable career path. My work includes guiding others with a variety resources find hope and strength through self-awareness and reinvention. It is a gift to meet them wherever they are and address all barriers with grace and good humor. While my certification as a Career Development Facilitator, training as a Career Coach and extensive Emotional Intelligence research/study/practice gives me a framework for our relationships, it is my intuition and courage that guides our interactions and conversations. The Career by Design program I helped create is the result of determining the core needs of people in life and career transition. The two week course includes modules on Personal Branding, EQ, Time Management, Decision Making and of course the standard job search tools: Resume and Letter Writing, Interviewing Skills and Networking. The success of this program is far reaching: commitments to education, long term employment and improvement in the quality of life.It is with great respect and gratitude that I am able to bring this program into the Allegan County Correctional Center. As of January 2017 we have conducted seven male co-horts, and will graduate our fifth female co-hort April 2017.
Listed skills include Public Speaking, Leadership, Training, Leadership Development, and 43 others.
