“Tipping Point: the critical point in a situation, beyond which a
significant and often unstoppable change takes place.”


Have you reached a "tipping point" in your career? If so, partnering up with a
career counselor can help you make a "significant and possibly unstoppable change."

What is Career Counseling?

Career Counseling is a process in which individuals explore where they are at in their career path or job search and develop a plan to achieve their objectives. This might include examining their interests, aspirations, values, marketable skills. It also might mean generating ideas and leads for how to start.  

Career Counseling is not an interaction where the Counselor chooses your "perfect" career. Footwork from the client is essential for a successful partnership.

How I can Help

You may be ready for career counseling if you:

  • Are unfulfilled or unmotivated by your job but just don't know what's next.

  • Have recently graduated and have no idea how to start your professional life.

  • Are in a job search and feeling overwhelmed by job boards and lack of responses.

  • Have been laid off and don't know how to get started again.

  • Have been out of the workforce for a while and are ready to get back in but don't know how to start.

What Does Your Career Path Look Like?

Most people believe they should have a plan for their career and go from Point A to Point B but reality bears out that most career paths are circuitous.

 

We start in one direction then take a turn or two, sometimes a u-turn and we end up in an entirely different but not necessarily bad place than how we started.

 

This is a GOOD THING. Being open to opportunities, knowing yourself,  being willing to not only take a few risks but also allowing yourself to change your mind if things don't work out takes the pressure off of perfectly defining that straight path.

TESTIMONIALS

I worked with Wendy during a planned career pivot -- problem was, I had no idea what my next plan would be! Wendy is extremely methodical in her practice. To figure out my next steps, she guided me through assessments, skills inventories, helped me conduct industry research, and dug deep into what really makes me thrive in the workplace.

 

I had a job offer one month after I started looking, and she also helped me negotiate a pay raise after 18 months. I highly recommend Wendy for any career guidance!
