“Kathy’s coaching brought me an understanding of today’s workplace and employers’ needs that really changed my perspective and improved my job search efforts. She provided a tailored resume/cover letter and I got the job as my last interview went really well because of her coaching – I strongly recommend her engaging, informed, virtual services to you.”

G - Goals & session objectives

At our first session, we'll work towards pinpointing your SMART goal(s) and timelines . Some examples could include:

By my timeline goal I will:

  • research & register for an online retraining/learning program (e.g. Project Management) to achieve the designation (e.g. PMP)
  • identify 5 specific organizations in metro St. John's or Calgary where the culture, values, and work appeal to me.
  • add 3 recommendations to my LinkedIn profile that endorse my skills.
  • make one key LinkedIN connection in each of the 5 specific organizations where work appeals to me.
  • research & secure a board volunteer position with an organization that supports the needy or youth at risk in the St. John's metro area.

W - Wrap up & look forward

You decide the options you will pursue and I'll email you an overview after every session along with a draft outline for our next session which you are encouraged to edit. You will also receive a reading, image or video that are chosen just for you, if you wish to fast track your learning and movement forward. You're in charge, always.
