Individual Coaching

Elaine enables you to assess your strengths, define your brand, and develop the confidence to take control of the path ahead. She provides focused advice, helps you plot your life’s work and effectively manage your performance, resulting in greater career equity.

For individuals who have already benefitted from traditional outplacement, Elaine offers a fresh approach that optimizes your prior learning. She will help you develop a greater sense of your competitive worth in the marketplace. Her goal is to get you to where you want to be.

Elaine helps you establish criteria to select and evaluate career alternatives by examining your:

  • Priorities and trade-offs
  • Style, values and motivation
  • Skills and experience
  • Organizational fit
  • Marketplace and financial constraints

She will also help you develop the following tools and strategies:

  • Resume, descriptive bio, and elevator pitch
  • Market assessment
  • Networking
  • Traditional and Internet search tools
  • Interviewing
  • Compensation and contract negotiations

Her executive coaching also addresses performance issues such as building and repairing challenging relationships, i.e., a difficult boss or employee, confrontation issues, peer competition, subordinate undermining, adjusting to a new role, stress, preventing burn-out, fear of failure, and confidence building.

An initial assessment can be by phone or in person. After that, Elaine and the client agree on objectives and a time frame for completion of the assignment. Her coaching sessions are often a combination of in-person meetings and phone conferences of ranging duration.
