Welcome!

You came here for a reason: there was a signpost telling you that some kind of change is in order. Transitions can be intimating and overwhelming. They can also be exhilarating if you have the keys to accelerate the process and cut through the internal red tape.
Sure, you could talk to friends or battle it out on your own. But you have most likely already tried that. Consulting with Debbie is a better alternative. She will de-mystify, deal with the here and now, and untangle knots. Debbie will guide you to your goal in less time than you could get there on your own.

Debbie's specialties are navigating professional and personal transitions:

• Professional--Not satisfied and productive in your work? You owe it to yourself to address this fundamental part of your life. Debbie's keen guidance will make the crucial difference between the doldrums and self-realization in the workplace. Debbie has worked effectively with all age groups, ranging from Gen X to Boomers who are either addressing their real career needs for the first time, or contemplating a change that may seem daunting. She specializes in fresh starts for young & mid-level professionals, career changers, downsized workers, re-entry women, retirees encountering life/transition choices, baby boomers, high school & college students, and graduate school seekers.

• Personal--Relationships are at the heart of our happiness. They are also at the core of our misery. Relationships are endlessly complex. You change. The people in your life change. Circumstances change. Whatever the issue, Debbie will guide you through troubled waters to a more gratifying and peaceful place with the important people in your life.

My goal with you is to form a collaborative and enriching relationship that will invigorate your career development. I can work with you to uncover and give voice your strengths and skills, explore viable career options, conduct a dynamic job search, and start you on a new and satisfying career path. I have already counseled hundreds of others to get unstuck and change their work and their lives--and I know I can help you, too.

I am very practiced at employing the most powerful counseling and communication technique that exists. It's called listening and paying careful attention to what you are saying. With it, I can help you to bring out your best and most unique qualities, so you can learn to employ them to your best advantage. And that is the first step to a better job and/or a new career.

I can work with you to:

• Manage and profit from an unexpected job loss and/or career change--and clear away your confusion about the job market and your career direction.
• Leverage your skills and strengths, accomplishments, preferences and values to develop a satisfying career path.
• Fine-tune your career strategies and job objectives, and create a powerful marketing plan.
• Develop an effective resume and targeted campaign letters that consistently get positive results.
• Succeed in job interviews, network in a targeted manner, and develop solid follow-up and positioning strategies.

• Excel in a new position and earn the respect of colleagues and employers.
