My experiences as a career coach build on my teaching professional development for over 15 years. I work with clients on all aspects of the career change process.
Career coaching with Dana is a process of finding our paths in our current era of our lives. We begin with intention setting–is a change in careers needed to find greater well-being? a clearer purpose? greater balance? We work on identifying ideal qualities of a career and how it fits within a broader life vision. Homework assignments often focus on strategies to identify and build your network step by step. The goal is to find a career that aligns with your purpose.
As a career coach, I also work with clients on bounded tasks that focus the nuts and bolts of career success including:
*Resume design -I offer editing and feedback to articulate the best version of your skill set to your target opportunities
*Interview skills and elevator pitches–I offer practice job talks, interviews, and informal networking skills with my clients.
*Salary negotiation and interviewing potential jobs–some clients hire me strictly as a career coach for salary negotiation–how to get as much as you can out of your opportunity from day one
