So what is this career coaching service I offer? Here's what it's all about.

- I help you set goals for what type of change you want to make within your current career or to a new one, by when, and what your financial requirements are in the transition.

- We meet on the phone (or in-person if you happen to live in Albuquerque, New Mexico) for 45-minutes either twice or three times a month.

- Depending on your situation, we may use books, exercises, or assessment tools to help you pinpoint your interests, needs, aptitudes, skills, and best career or job options.

- Then we create a strategy that's appropriate for you, with steps you can take to get you where you want to go when you want to get there. This strategy may include a plan for researching your options and coming to a decision about your career path.

- Before each session I send you a preparation email to confirm the time we're meeting and you email me back to tell me what's been happening between calls. This helps us make the best use of your phone time.

- In each session you decide, sometimes with suggestions from me, on actions that will move you toward your goals, and you give a time frame for completing these.

- After each phone call, I send you an email with the action items from that session and the date and time of our next call.

- In between sessions, if you have questions or want to give me an update, we stay in touch by email.

- In each session we follow up with your action items to discuss what's been completed and what's next.

- I keep an eye on the big picture of what you said you want to accomplish, and point it out if you seem to be going in a different direction. Then you decide if this new direction is the right one, or whether you want to stick with the original plan.
