SET GOALS AND ACHIEVE OBJECTIVES

Career Coaching

We have experienced many changes in the workplace over the past few years, and we have every reason to believe that we will not return to the pre-pandemic landscape. Virtual work is here to stay, and many professionals are making changes that reflect that preference. Opportunities are increasing and companies are hiring at a faster pace.

Before the disruption of COVID-19, around 30% of the U.S. workforce was working from home at least some of the time. That number more than doubled when the pandemic hit, as enterprises overnight enabled everyone they could to work remotely. That same trend played out around the globe. This unintended experiment in mass-scale remote work shattered one of the most durable myths about the workforce: “You can’t trust employees to do their jobs if you can’t see them.”

CAREER TRANSITION

The Career Transition Program has been designed to provide one-on-one individualized attention during the process of transitioning to a new position or career. Career Coaching works best with those people who are highly motivated, work well independently and are open to embracing new methodologies and technologies and making significant changes. It is a cost-effective alternative to traditional outplacement services, and a balanced approach to career and life planning. We address the new challenges of a hybrid worksplace and the necessary changes needed for job-hunting, interviewing, negotiation, and onboarding.

ASSESSMENTS

We use a variety of validated and powerful assessment tools to gain insight into your path to optimal career satisfaction. This means we can measure how you respond to your work environment, why you are motivated to act in a certain way, your behavioral style/personality type, communications style, values, attitudes, etc. Of course, to support your career decisions we also look at your professional experience, education, background, talents, and your specific work environment.

CAREER RESILIENCY

Corporations are encouraging career resiliency on the part of their own employees – and providing coaching resources to increase employees’ skills in self-determination and self management.

To help you explore the possibilities of working with a coach, I offer a 20-minute telephone consultation, which will be scheduled at no cost to you.

Testimonials

A coach provides a rich set of tools that grows through the years to support a client in each new opportunity and challenge.
“I am a walking example of the value of long-term coaching. When we launched the coaching journey in 2005, I was already quite senior in my career. Each new leadership step I took came with a myriad of new experiences for which my existing set of competencies needed to be stretched. Judy has supported me in the evolution of my skills, insights, and talents to successfully meet each new stage. She’s helped to extract what was deep inside me and expand it; I think about it as a tool bag that has grown and grown through the years to support me in each new leadership challenge.”
~ Carla Smith, MA, CNM, FHIMSS

Coaching is an ongoing strategic partnership. A coach can provide an “auxiliary brain”.
“I have worked with Judy Feld as my coach for 21 years. She knows more about me than my closest friends and keeps up to date on the many factors that have an impact on me. Most of our time together involves her listening, processing and then responding, clarifying, and gathering data about me. Judy coaches me regularly regarding timely challenges I have faced based on this knowledge, and supports me in developing both strategies and tactics. I haven't needed time-limited, focused, goal-setting. I can and do set realistic goals which have enabled me to achieve and master many things. What I have needed is an objective, knowledgeable and effective coach to assist me in my life journey. An additional benefit in this relationship is the occasional monumental insight she has provided on a specific issue I faced based on her extensive knowledge of me. I have fondly referred to her as my auxiliary brain.”
~ Ralph S. Smith, Jr., MD, Brig Gen (Ret.) USAF CMO; Medical Director

Continuity and longevity bring perspective to the shared work. A coach with a good memory can “see around the corners.”
“For over 20 years, I've worked with Judy Feld as my coach, with only minimal breaks to accommodate family needs. She has always brought wisdom, cogent coaching and empathy to our work, and still sees around the corners in ways I cannot do for myself. I am a huge believer in creating a long-term relationship with your coach. They watch you grow and evolve through a huge variety of settings and challenges, and have the continuity and longevity to bring perspective (and a great memory) to the shared work.”
~ Caroline Adams Miller, MAPP: Speaker* Author* Educator* Coach

“Compounded interest over 10 years adds up to a lot of value. The benefits of unbiased coaching conversations increase exponentially."
“When I initiated a coaching relationship some 10 years ago I wanted someone who could ask the right questions in the hopes of re-framing, & ultimately help me get out of mental locks. I later learned this was not an easy coaching assignment. Judy demonstrated the intelligence, practical business & people sense, as well as the gentle accountability to fill that role spectacularly. I maintained our coaching relationship when I took over my CEO role about a year later. The issues I faced were broad & changed week to week, so working with someone who knew me & was willing & able to work with that changing, demanding mandate was critical. Judy was my sounding board for 6 years and helped me sort through those business and personal issues so I could be the best version of myself. For the last two years, we are doing it again. I am transitioning & starting a new company. Compounded interest over 10-years adds up to a lot of value. During our weekly hour, I have the luxury to step out of the day-to-day & get perspective on that last critical 5 to 10% on the issues old or new with all their subtleties. Driving to be the best at any role has to benefit from professional feedback, consistently applied. I know my relationship with Judy has made me a better executive & person.”
~ Todd C. Hart, CEO
