Coaching is driven by your goals and your agenda. At times, career coaching overlaps to a great extent with life coaching. Most of us have extenuating circumstances in our lives that we must consider during this time of introspection and purposeful growth. Your choices are made within the context of your life and may result in shifts in your identity as family member, a caregiver, a current employee, or active community member. I'll support your exploration of what that might mean for you as you come to realize what matters most in your work, set goals and checkpoints, and recognize your whole self in the outcome.
