Career Coaching Services
Career coaching services at Career Change Pathways are designed to help you discover your authentic lifework, a career based on your strengths, values, and life purpose. What makes my career transition process unique is its focus on the experience, needs, and challenges of people 50 and over.
Authentic Career Change™ Program
The Authentic Career Change™ program is a 6-step process that guides you through identifying and finding meaningful work that fits who you are and allows you to make a difference. The process takes a whole-life approach to career coaching services, recognizing that if your career is to be an expression of who you are, then it should align with the rest of your life.
The program is designed to take you from self-discovery all the way through targeted job search strategies.
INNER PATHWAYS (EXPLORATION AND SELF-DISCOVERY)
Step 1: Set Your
Course
In this step you'll set the stage for the journey ahead. Gain a new
sense of hope and direction as you begin to explore your
dreams and create a vision for your future.
Step
2: Clear Your Path of Obstacles
Before you can be free to move forward, it's important to
clear away any roadblocks standing in your way. In this step,
you'll
learn how to identify and release self-doubts, fears, and
self-sabotaging beliefs that keep you stuck.
Step 3: Gain
Insight
Know who you are and what you really want so you can find the
career that's true and authentic for you. A variety of
assessments and exercises will help you discover and clarify
your
key strengths, values, motivated skills, top interests, and personality
type.
OUTER PATHWAYS (CREATION AND ACTION)
Step 4: Explore
Your Possibilities
Come up with career ideas and options that fit
who you are, and clarify
how you want to share your gifts with others. Narrow down your options
to those that are in sync with your life
purpose, values, and priorities. Brainstorm the best ways to research
and learn more about your options.
Step 5: Create
Your Action Plan
Describe your ideal career. Figure out what
skills and resources you need
to get from
where you are now to where you want to be. Strengthen your commitment
to moving forward. Then define your
goals and the steps needed to
achieve those goals. Outline an action plan to support your transition.
Step 6: Take
Action and Move Forward
Reach your goals through a targeted job search or marketing
strategy. Take concrete action
steps that will move you into your new career (researching and
networking more effectively, strengthening your "brand", creating a
powerful resume). Learn what you need to
do to make a successful career change after 50.
I have become more self-confident and I have learned the power of dreaming - there is so much I can do, once I decide, commit, stay dedicated and focused.... Janet, you have a very strong professional background as well as practical experience to be an asset to anyone considering change on any front... and a strong commitment to helping your clients achieve the results they want. ~ Arleen, CA

The time it takes to see results is different for each client. Some clients achieve their goals after only a few sessions. Other clients, who wish to go through all phases of the career change process, may take 3 to 6 months to transition into a more rewarding and meaningful career.
My career coaching services can be customized to meet your particular needs. For example, you may be interested in the self-discovery phase, but would prefer to do the job search steps on your own.
