Training for Career Coaches and Support for Career Changers

As a coach, author, speaker, consultant, and instructor – I have deep experience in the field of career and professional development. Career in Progress provides high-quality training for career coaches, professionals in any industry, and students applying to college or entering the world-of-work for the first time.

I have worked with college students and recent graduates; mid-career professionals in transition; individuals looking for a complete career change; stay-at-home-parents re-entering the workforce; professionals interested in polishing their professional brand; and career coaches looking to perfect their coaching skills and increase their knowledge in the field.

My coaching approach is to provide support specifically designed to meet your career and professional goals. If you are looking to move your career forward, I am interested in working with you to facilitate positive change based on your objectives.
