COMPANY: Coach and Consultant, Enspiring Consulting, LLC
CREDENTIALS: I have a Master’s degree in counseling (focusing on career and academic counseling) and a Doctorate in Educational Psychology from the University of Minnesota. I have extensive experience working within higher education (as a tenured professor) where I worked with hundreds of students to clarify and pursue their career goals. When I left higher education I was a data analyst for an international Fortune 500 company. Currently I provide career coaching and corporate training for professionals who are seeking clarity and want to build on their strengths to thrive both personally and professionally. In 2022 I co-authored the book, “College to Career: Making the Most of Your Journey.”

CLIENTS: Higher ed professionals who are considering leaving higher education to pursue careers outside the academy. I also coach college students and early-career professionals who are just getting started on their journey who have questions about navigating the road ahead and need a guide along the way. Mid-level professionals who are feeling a little “meh” and are considering a career change or transition to create a more fulfilling and meaningful life – including a better work-life (im)balance.
SERVICE: Our careers are a journey – not a destination. My work as a coach focuses on meeting you wherever you are on your path and serving as your guide as you navigate the twists, turns and obstacles that are in your path. I’ll help you clarify what is most important to you and then support you in making decisions and taking action to get you going on the right path for you. I listen openly and respectfully to your needs and concerns and ask questions that help you explore and re-imagine your options. My career coaching practice includes career exploration (including assessments) to help your clarify your goals, values and options; coaching to help you make decisions, practice for interviews, negotiate offers and have difficult conversations in the workplace; assistance with resumes, LinkedIn profiles, social media and personal branding to help you create an authentic image of what you offer to others.
