Frequently Asked Questions

Career Coaching

  • Feeling stuck, frustrated, unmotivated in your current role? It's costing you more than just job satisfaction.

    My clients often say that draining job impacts their personal lives, their mental and physical well-being, and their relationships.

    One even said he'd become so resentful about the impact on his personal life, it led to declining on-the-job performance. Ouch.

    Staying in this kind of role or a toxic company is a fast track to burnout, my friend. (Trust me when I say: Been there. Done that. Bought the t-shirt.)

    Investing in career coaching is about more than just money — it’s about taking charge of your future, reclaiming your joy, and transforming your life.

    Career coaching could be just the game-changer you need.

  • Feeling stuck or unfulfilled doesn’t get better with time; it often gets worse. If you’re finding yourself dreading work or feeling like your career is stagnating, now is the time to act.

    In fact, why not use your current job to pay you to find your ideal “what’s next”?!

    The sooner you invest, the sooner you can reclaim your joy and purpose in your work.

    Otherwise, where will you be in 6 months? Don’t wait for things to get worse—take control of your career path today and set yourself up for a more rewarding future.

  • CAVEAT: If you're already successful and happy, career coaching might not be for you. (You might consider Leadership Coaching instead.)

    But if your success has come at the cost of true career fulfillment, Success to Significance Career Coaching is where the magic happens.

    Even top performers reach a point where paychecks and promotions aren't enough—they crave work that feels more meaningful.

    Together, we'll clarify what you truly want next, rediscover your superpowers, and define what meaningful work looks like for you.

    My clients consistently report a boost in confidence to pursue work that feels significant and the conviction to say YES to opportunities that fit.

    Shifting from Success to Significance isn't just about leveling up—it's about defining your purpose and finding opportunities to make a contribution that matters to you.

  • Busy people get things done, yet are you getting the right things done to move you into a career you’ll love?

    Clients love how in-depth and efficient this coaching process is.

    One recently said, “A lot was swirling in my head and this process helped me nail it down in a way that everything was so clear. It helped in ways I couldn’t have even imagined.”

    Investing a little time now will save you months, even years, of spinning your wheels.

    Working together we make sure your hustle is taking you where you really want to go.

  • Be honest... with yourself: you’ve been trying to figure this out on your own for how long now?

    And, if I may be candid yet kind, where has that gotten you?

    Honestly, why would go it alone you when you can have an expert guide and empowering cheerleader on Team You?

    Clients repeatedly say, “I couldn’t have done this without you.”

    I’m not saying this to toot my own horn but to help you know that working together and following the Success to Significance framework absolutely will accelerate the process for you.

    Together, we’ll make your next move your bestmove yet.

  • Thank you for your honesty. I’d be worried if you weren’t.

    Feeling a little nervous about big changes is perfectly normal and means you’re ready.

    You’re invited to relax into this, get comfortable with being a bit uncomfortable; it’s not boot camp, it’s your career growth.

    Clients tell me they feel so supported as we’ve moved at their pace and focused on what they’re ready to tackle when they’re ready to tackle it.

    You set the pace. I'll be there to guide, encourage, and support you the whole way.

  • I was hoping you would ask!

    Two reasons:

    1.       First, I recognize that you are a once-in-a-lifetime gift.

    As with every client, I am deeply honored and committed to working closely with you to uncover and articulate your uniqueness.

    My sole priority: help you land in a role YOU WANT and that needs the authentic you.

    So, in me you don’t just get any ol’ coach but a true partner.

    My greatest joy is helping clients create and achieve their vision of their “what’s next”. <goosebumps!>

     2.       Second, the Success to Significance Career Roadmap process and coaching with me is the last roadmap you will ever need in your entire career.

    You get the proven framework that you can go back to again and again, each time you’re ready for a change, to redefine or reinvent.

    You’ll have the skills and know-how from going through it together to refine what you really want at each career crossroads.

    Of course, I’ll love to support you again in the future when you need a sounding board and someone to compassionately yet candidly challenge your thinking.

    At the same time, you’ll have everything you need to clarify your next “what’s next” and go after it with confidence and conviction.

  • That’s a perfectly valid feeling.

    Career coaching isn’t about pushing you to make a drastic change unless that’s what you truly want.

    It’s about finding alignment…

    • to your strengths and skills

    • to your definition of meaningful work

    • to your core values

    • to the people and place where you feel like you belong and can make a difference.

    It sometimes means simply making tweaks that enhance your satisfaction, allowing you to discover new opportunities that excite you within your chosen field.

  • That’s exactly why Success to Significance coaching can be so powerful. We’ll work together to clarify what you want, even if you’re starting from scratch. By the end, you’ll have a clear direction and a plan to get there.

  • Investing in yourself through career coaching is about unlocking your full potential and creating a career that not only pays the bills but truly fulfills you.

    It’s an investment in clarity, confidence, and the tools to pursue work that resonates with your values and strengths.

    The return? A more meaningful, significant career that aligns with who you are and where you want to go.

    You. Are. Worth. That.

Leadership Coaching

  • Titles don’t make leaders; the ability to inspire, guide, and make a significant difference does. And, hell, even rockstar leaders recognize they can always fine-tune their craft.

    Leadership coaching helps hone your influence and communication skills, adapt to constant change and new challenges, and check and choose perspectives that serve you and others so you can lead with even more impact. Think of it as upgrading from good to great to unstoppable.

  • Several clients have come to me after being recommended by other leaders in their organization who have honestly waited too long…

    • They’ve “tried everything else” but coaching… 

    • Or the problems have become so big they feel insurmountable… 

    • Or so many unproductive habits are engrained… 

    • Or the leader being coached is so overwhelmed…

    that it feels to them like coaching may be an impossible task.

    To say it’s too late at any of these points may or may not be true, but certainly a lot more time will need to be invested in untangling the unproductive knot than if we’d started much sooner.

    Starting ASAP with Success to Significance Leadership Coaching can help you refine your skills and adapt to upcoming changes to ensure you stay ahead of the curve.

    By starting now, you can ensure continuous growth and maintain your competitive edge, setting the stage for long-term success, impact, and fulfillment.

  • You know the saying:
    Strive for progress, not perfection.

    Success to Significance Leadership Coaching isn’t just for fixing problems—it’s about taking you and your team from good to extraordinary, focusing on continual improvement rather than some unattainable ideal of perfection.

    If your team is already killing it, imagine what they can do with a leader who’s even better – constantly curious and eager to learn from every situation, who taps into the collective intelligence of the team to evolve and innovate in ways never you’ve never thought possible. I want to be on THAT team with THAT leader!

  • Vulnerability requires courage and a safe space. (Have you read Brené Brown’s work? LOVE me some Brené Brown!)

    Therefore, I fully commit to you: Zero judgment here.

    In fact, I promise the space to explore, experiment, mess up, try again, learn, grow, and level up. And we’ll have a few laughs along the way, too.

    Leadership coaching is all about creating a confidential, supportive environment where you can be 100% real and work on what really matters.

    No facade necessary, I assure you. Together, we’ll get to the heart of what will make you an even better leader.

  • Clients often come to me saying they feel overwhelmed and stretched too thin already.

    Then quickly realize once we do get started, leadership coaching is actually a game-changer.

    First, we’ll work together to fit sessions into your busy schedule, meeting often enough to keep the momentum on the powerful work you’ll be doing.

    They’ll also be laser-focused to give insights and specific strategies that will have you saving time, precious energy, and effort in your day-to-day over the long run.

    In fact, by prioritizing coaching, you’re investing in making your leadership more effective and efficient, which ultimately helps you manage your time better and achieve more significant impact.

    You’ll likely come out ahead with “more time” than you realized was possible.

  • Leadership coaching is like a custom-tailored dress or suit—it fits you perfectly.

    It’s not  management training that focuses on teaching universal skills to a group without the benefit of addressing the circumstances of each leader and no follow-up support.

    One-to-one leadership coaching is personalized to your unique strengths, challenges, and goals with a dedicated partner ready to help you practice new skills, reflect on what’s working and what isn’t, course correcting and trying more new skills, and celebrating your progress.

    It’s about developing your authentic leadership style and creating strategies that work for you in your unique situation.

  • I was hoping you would ask!

    Two reasons:

    1.       First, I recognize that you are a once-in-a-lifetime gift.

    I am deeply committed to working closely with you to uncover and articulate your uniqueness: your strengths, your core values, and your goals for your leadership journey.

    My sole priority: help you become the leader you, and only you, were meant to be

    So, in me you don’t just get any ol’ coach but a true partner who’s fully invested in your goals.

    My greatest joy is helping clients create and realize their leadership mission and vision so they can make a more significant impact on the work, on their teams, and on the organization and its stakeholders.

    2.       In Success to Significance Leadership Coaching, we use the proven Energy Leadership framework that you can go back to again and again, every day, and each time you’re ready to supercharge your leadership.

    Of course, I’ll be honored to support you again in the future when you need a sounding board and someone to compassionately yet directly hold up the mirror and challenge your thinking.

    At the same time, you’ll have what you need to make conscious choices about how you want to show up as a positive, influential, collaborative, and authentic leader others want to follow.

  • Success to Significance Leadership Coaching is never about forcing you into a mold.

    It’s about

    • uncovering and enhancing your personal leadership style

    • supporting you in making the most productive choices in how you show up

    • and supporting you in making tweaks so those choices serve you and your teams.

    We’ll absolutely build on your natural, hardwired strengths and your core values to adapt strategies so they are right for you, enabling you to lead authentically, confidently, and effectively.

  • In short: Absolutely!

    Clients come to me All. The. Time. reporting unproductive behaviors on the team.

    Success to Significance Leadership Coaching gives you the tools to navigate and resolve team conflicts, improve communication, and build a stronger, more cohesive team.

    You don’t have to do it alone—let’s tackle those opportunities together.

  • Then, my friend, I’ve got a little Career Coaching something-something with your name written all over it.
