Career Management

In the words of clients . . . My Career Takes Off!

Before having a coach, I didn’t have a clear, organized career plan and wasn’t aware of the small everyday things that contribute to my long-term goals. Now, after working with Kathy, I now live a life by design and not by default. Even as I look back at the past 6 months, I have seen my career take off in ways that I didn’t expect from myself. I am now comfortable taking risk, being decisive and being intentional in all my interactions. Lastly, it showed me the importance of taking time to step back and assess all my accomplishments and learning opportunities. … I hope to continue to carry the valuable lessons throughout my career and know that she will continue to be a great coach for other future leaders. -- Dan P, from China, Tax Manager, Top tier professional Services firm

Finding Direction

“When I was asked to participate in the coaching program, I never expected to touch on such personal and deep areas of my life. Besides accomplishing the obvious, like taking an honest look at where my career was and making conscious steps to steer it in the direction I chose, I was encouraged to look deep into myself and really get real about what I wanted out of life. My coaching sessions with Kathy have been invaluable; it’s been uncomfortable at times to question everything that I’ve been doing up to now but it has helped me to focus and really commit to what I want to do at the firm. I think that the strategic plan will set up a great blueprint of how I want to succeed here, and it was great to be able to bounce ideas and thoughts off of someone objective and willing to help.” — Betty L, from China, Tax Manager, Top tier global professional services firm
