Over the past 20+ years, I have been devoted to coaching and training people in effectively finding fulfilling careers and jobs that leverage their strengths. Drawing on a foundation of experience as a marketing communicator, I help my clients to powerfully differentiate themselves -- and to win minds and hearts of employers. I currently deliver personalized outplacement services in a senior career coaching role with The White Hawk Group, and support professionals and executives in all areas of career development and job search through a private practice, Cobblestone Career Management.I "learned the ropes"​ as a consultant with leading global career management firms. At Lee Hecht Harrison, I had the opportunity to build the service delivery function for a start-up office in Providence, Rhode Island. In our second year of existence, we were recognized as one of the company's top 10 in overall client satisfaction. Later, we earned the "President’s Award for Exceptional Service Quality by an Office."​ I spent the first half of my career in advertising (as an account manager at agencies including McCann-Erickson/ New York and Ogilvy & Mather/ Chicago); in public relations (as Staples, Inc.'s first communications manager); and, in retail management (at Staples and my own venture, the Green Living earth-friendly goods store.).____________________________________________________________________________Specialties: career coach, career consultant, career counseling, career exploration, career change, career planning, outplacement, job search strategy, job search skills, resume development, interviewing,interview strategy, interview preparation, mock interviews, salary negotiation, career decision-making, entrepreneurship, becoming a consultant, self-assessment, Myers-Briggs (MBTI) certified, Strong Interest Inventory certified.
