Professional Development Coaching helps professionals who are seeking a change. I help professionals get "unstuck" from careers that feel stagnant, unfulfilling, or worse: heading towards burnout!

• Considering a different career path, position, or a side hustle but you're not feeling ready?

  • I'll help you get clear about what fulfills you, how to leverage skills and talents, & we'll build a strategy aligned with your values, strengths, and goals.

  • Let's discover what is holding you back from a more fulfilling career!

  • Learn about my Secret Weapon for career growth: Job Crafting!

• Reeling from a poor performance review or passed over for a promotion?

  • I will help you focus on obtaining objective feedback, improving objective & subjective measures of performance, and enhance your leadership presence.

  • Coaching around communication, self-awareness, and cultivating a growth mindset is my area of expertise!

• Ready to find a new position?

  • I love helping professionals prepare for a job search! If you are clear about what you want, let's review your job search process.

  • Once you've secured an interview, I coach on behavior-based interview techniques, and how to predict and answer interview questions.

I utilize my years of professional experience and education to specifically work with individuals who are interested in Professional Development Coaching. However, every client comes to coaching with more on their mind than just their current position and their professional challenges! In our confidential sessions, you put forth the agenda and we work on your current needs, whether that is managing a team, navigating a tricky workplace dynamic, or figuring out how to find time for self-care. Let’s uncover what it means for you to feel "whole"!

When choosing a professional coach, look for a coach certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) which is the gold standard for professional coaching. Debi is both an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation, and is a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) after completing a Level 2 coach training (200+ hours) with Co-Active Training Institute.

The first session is always complimentary! You’ll gain an understanding of what coaching is and how it might serve you, and you can then decide if we have the right chemistry to work together in a coaching relationship.

Examples of what the professionals I coach say in their complimentary first coaching session:

• I think I should pivot to a new position or career, but I'm also not sure I'm ready

• I am unhappy in my role and want to move from frustration to action

• I am managing a team and I want to manage more effectively

• I'm ready for a promotion, but need to improve my leadership presence to get noticed

• I haven't interviewed in 15 years, but really want a new job

• I want to start a side hustle or passion project

After the first session, clients schedule their own coaching sessions and meet anywhere from one to four times a month via Zoom.

Coaching packages always start with your goals!

• How clear is your vision for what you want to accomplish?

• How quickly do you want to achieve your goals?

Coaching packages are available in short-term (3-month, 6-month) or long-term agreements. Designing your own package is always an option, but here are some ideas of what clients often choose:

• 6 sessions over 2-3 months: you have a clear, immediate goal

• 12-18 sessions over 6 months: you are activated for change in the next 6-12 months

• 12-24 sessions over 9-12 months: you know change is needed (work is not fulfilling, burnout is approaching!) but don't know where to start

• Ongoing coaching: you are engaged in your current role and value an ongoing coaching relationship
