More About Joanne's Coaching
Your Future, Your Direction
Many use the terms "career counseling" and "career coaching" interchangeably. While there is overlap, counseling is more process-oriented while coaching is more results-oriented. In each, the counselor-coach's role, and the role of the client, are well-defined. A good counselor-coach should be able to use both sets of skills with you. Joanne Meehl blends the two and uses a fairly directive approach so as to keep things moving quickly.
You would meet with Joanne for several sessions either in person and/or on the phone. Her style is to work with a sense of urgency.
This is a process during which the client takes responsibility for his or her activity, which is as it should be because it's your search and should genuinely be about you. Those who partner with Joanne in this manner move more aggressively forward to their success. Coaching is not for the person who expects the coach to do the search for them.
Result: Over several sessions, you learn a lot about yourself in ways you hadn't before, and about your value in the job marketplace. You may decide on a complete change, you may decide on a slight shift, or you may even decide that what you're doing is exactly where you should be. And your job search is shorter and more effective, with you hitting your goals and exuding authentic confidence.
