The only way to go great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. <\/i>

Sure, I have my certifications and have worked with many people for years, from teenagers to retirees, but I\u2019ve learned most of my skills from being in unfulfilling jobs and learning the hard (and slow) way how to get what I want. The hardest part is knowing yourself and what you want out of life.  I had to go through a near-death experience to understand that but that\u2019s only half the battle.  Armed with that self-knowledge, you have to acquire the skills and learn the tricks on how to land that perfect job or find that career that makes you want to go to work every day.  I found my own path forward the hard way (that’s me on the right<\/i>).  Now I’m trying to help others find theirs.<\/p>\n

If you are like me you probably had a few different jobs and careers. I\u2019ve been a business consultant, scientist, program manager, professor, college student advisor, professional tutor, career coach and a few other things along the way.  I\u2019ve met a lot of people in all these professions who are just going through the motions and who want something more out of life but they don\u2019t know how to get there.  I\u2019ve helped quite a few along the way, and everyone is different.  Some people benefit most by having someone to hold them accountable during the process, and they like to know that they have someone who is 100% vested in their success.  For others, it gives them a place to work through their fears, build their confidence, and solidify their goals.  Others just want some tips on the job search process.  Whatever the reason, I\u2019m happy to help you get to where you want to go, as quickly as possible.  As I\u2019ve learned, life is too short to not be doing what you love!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It all starts with a complimentary phone or video call so we can talk about what you want to accomplish and how we can get there.\u00a0 Take as long as you want… I’m in no hurry.\u00a0 We all have different stories and goals, and I want to hear yours!<\/p>

I\u2019m all about communication, positivity and results.\u00a0 It\u2019s so easy to think that you don\u2019t have the skills or experience or education to get the job you want but you probably do.\u00a0 It\u2019s also easy to lack confidence and not even talk to someone about what you really want but you deserve a meaningful life.\u00a0 We all do.\u00a0 And it\u2019s not just about career.\u00a0 That\u2019s a big part of things but in the end, it\u2019s about having the life you desire and having that work\/life balance that we all dream about.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

That\u2019s why I got certified as a life coach.\u00a0 You may want a better job or a different career but it\u2019s all about creating the life you want, so I look at the big picture and try to see how it all fits together in your life.\u00a0 That\u2019s the \u201cholistic\u201d part of my job title.\u00a0 I had to do that for myself years ago and I know it\u2019s not easy to look in the mirror and realize that you aren\u2019t satisfied.\u00a0 I get it, and I know how you feel\u2026 because I\u2019ve been there.\u00a0 So, let\u2019s figure out what you have, what you need and what really gets you jazzed.\u00a0 Then let\u2019s make a plan of attack and get you there as quickly and efficiently as possible.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to take control of your future and be intentional about what you want.\u00a0 And if you\u2019re not sure what that it, that\u2019s fine.\u00a0 We\u2019ll figure it out, together!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

As a full-services career practice, Destination Vocation offers a basic Job Search<\/b> package for people who know what they want but are having difficulty landing that dream job.\u00a0 Or maybe you are looking just to beef up your resume or LinkedIn profile, or just need some help preparing for an interview?\u00a0 We offer Specialized<\/b> (as needed)<\/i> Services <\/b>on an hourly basis so we have you covered!<\/p>

Not sure of what you want, or want to explore options that may work for you?\u00a0 Then our Career Exploration<\/b> package is for you!\u00a0 I guarantee that you\u2019ll learn a lot about the world of work with this package, and you\u2019ll learn about yourself as well!\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
