Career / Life Coaching

Lorraine's interest in personal and professional growth began early. She's made her own career decisions strategically and increasingly based on her values and circumstances. Her passion is in working with individuals where they are, to facilitate them discovering more about themselves, and setting, and reaching their goals.

Career Coaching addresses the emotional issues such as confidence and comfort with change that accompany career management activities. In practice career coaching and management are often integrated.

In Life Coaching, Lorraine brings her training, personal experience and maturity to her work and generously shares her ideas and skills. She shows respect for individual differences and has a vision that our life choices are closely married to our well-being. Goals often relate to the client rebalancing, renewing and sometimes reinventing themselves and becoming more empowered.

Each downward dip in our lives presents an opportunity to increase our self-awareness, build our resiliency and live the life that genuinely suits us. If you're feeling confused, discouraged or a decrease in confidence it may mean that you are spinning in a cycle where change is a way forward. The good news is that discomfort often motivates us to do something. If this is so for you then the process of change has already begun. Common issues that individual clients bring are how to:

• get clear on what matters most to them and what career direction would fit who they are and where they are in their life
• get unstuck from using old patterns that are ineffective or harmful in their lives
• build resilience when life situations or job loss threatens their confidence
• navigate life stages by understanding the process of change and renewal
• balance career ambitions and demands with their personal life
• generate options with their spouse on how to integrate both of their ambitions and preferences at "retirement" stage
