What do you want for your career? If you want to discover the kinds of work that are aligned with who you are and what is important to you, that fit your life purpose, and about which you can be passionate… If you want to find focus and direction in your life and work… If you want to get out of being stuck in work that eats away at your soul… You have come to the right place. There are no instruments that will tell you what work you should do. The best they can do is give you clues about who you are. It is who you are and what is important to you that matter. Once you discover these and can state them clearly and succinctly, you will find the work activities and occupations that suit you best. Knowing your career focus will enable you to revamp your current work or find new work. Ask anyone who hires: employers are looking for people who not only can do the work, but who are also passionate about what they do. The Processes Used Most of my clients are looking for the following results: Understanding and appreciating all facets of themselves (and others); Gaining clarity about what is most important to them in life; Relating their strengths to work and choosing work that they would love to do; and Taking effective action to move in the direction they want to go. There is no one way to achieve these results. I will help you decide what works best for you. To determine your career needs, please complete the Career Audit. Once you have determined your key needs, we will be able to discuss the services that would suit you best. Here is a brief outline of our key services: Career Focusing™ Career Focusing™ is very popular with my clients because it helps them clarify their passion. It is the key piece of the career coaching puzzle that I had been looking for, and I found it a few years ago. As a trained Career Focusing™ facilitator, I will help you dive below the surface of your interests to discover what really makes you tick. Once you know your Focus, making career decisions becomes a whole lot easier. Click here for additional information on Career Focusing. Career Coaching Coaching has many benefits, such as awareness, clarity, purpose and a sense of well-being. The key value is that coaching helps you get unstuck and move forward toward your goals. If you want greater understanding about your strengths and how to apply them; If you want clarity about what motivates you (and what does not); If you know your direction but can't get yourself going; If you want to create a plan of action that you will actually follow; If you have made plans but aren't taking action; Coaching can help. The Strategy Focused Coaching approach, that I and many Ascendo Associates use, has a proven success record in helping clients meet their needs.

No assessment gives you "The Truth", but all are useful to help you shed light on some aspect of yourself. All results are pieces of the puzzle that is you, and the more information you get, the better you will understand yourself. Assessments need to be interpreted to have any value.. I will help you understand and apply your results to your life and work. Click here to see a list of assessments that are available to you and how they can help.
