Coaching is a partnership like no other. It is a safe and confidential relationship. We work together as a team to help you manifest a career and life that is rewarding and adds value to your life. A Coach asks powerful questions, listens openly and honestly, and offers different perspectives, provides structure, assists in setting goals, planning and strategizing, holds you accountable for what you want to achieve, and considers your interests first.

Testimonials

"The conversation I had with Jamie gave me the confidence I needed to prepare myself for the interview. She prepared me for questions that might be asked in the interview and gave me feedback on the answers I provided. She made sure I had sufficient examples for every answer I gave and offered great advice on how to improve them. She immediately addressed my weak areas which gave me so much confidence I didn't even get nervous during my interview. I really appreciate what I learned from Jamie, I will definitely make the most of it!"

"I found Jamie after my divorce. It was an ugly time. I wanted to get my life back. I did not want a therapist, I wanted someone to help create some plans that would allow me to feel better about my life. Jamie helped me create an exercise plan, she helped me figure out how I was going to go back into the job market after not working for two years. I had forgotten who I was. She reminded me through a series of life affirming exercises. I am so grateful. I have my life back!"

"After working with Jamie, I felt I was very prepared for my interview. I was confident in answering any question that was asked to me. It was very helpful in role playing before my interview, along with going over the questions/answers more than once. It gave me an insight to look at my current job and how I can expand on what my current duties are and relay them to what a potential employer could be looking for. I wasn't sure what this experience was going to do for me; however, I am so happy I did it. I would definitely recommend coaching to anyone who is possibly preparing for a job interview, or is not sure what career they want to do."

"I came to Jamie when my life was totally unorganized. I am a mother of two and my husband travels five days of the week. I also work part time at my daughter's elementary school, handle the activities for my son's softball team, and help out with my grandmother. I had no time for myself. Jamie and I worked together to identify how I could prioritize my life. We created amazing action plans to help me effectively use my time. It took me a while but I finally have my life back. I am happier, I am a better mom, person, and wife!"
