Career & Transition Coaching

Coaching starts off with a free, personalized consultation to investigate where you are in your career through thoughtful discussion. I will ask questions to help me better understand your career objectives and goals. After our conversation, we will devise an action plan and outline next steps. If coaching is the right fit for you, we will set up regular meetings where we will work toward one goal or objective each time.  Like any other relationship, the more you put into your sessions, the more you'll get out of them! It will be a frequent exchange of ideas and input. Those who get the best results are receptive to feedback and open to doing the work after a session is over.

Career Management & Transition Coaching: Resumé, Cover Letter, LinkedIn, Interview Prep, Networking, Job Search/Recruiters, and Salary Negotiation

When you're setting sail in a new direction, it’s important to have a clear vision of where you want to go and how you intend to get there. Planning is key. The same goes for writing a good résumé and developing your value proposition/personal brand.

I meet with clients to discuss career objectives and goals. I learn where they are in the career process and where they want to be. We devise a customized action plan and outline next steps that allow them to promote their brand and assist in transitioning them to their next career goal. We review resume’ writing, cover letter, LinkedIn refresh, interview prep, job search strategy, networking and salary negotiation.

Leadership and Professional Development

How does your team shine? I take groups of all sizes through different assessments to highlight their individual strengths and ways they can build up the collective capacity of the team. I also help team members fine tune their personal brand and, in turn, figure out how each individual can best contribute to the company's larger goals. 

As a member of Cheryl Alexander & Associates, I am a Leadership Development Exchange (LDE) coach. The Leadership Development Exchange (LDE) is a signature program of Cheryl Alexander & Associates combining rich, focused leadership discussions, the open sharing of experience, perspectives, and best practices with peers, executive coaching, mentoring and peer mentoring.   

We integrate a multidimensional approach including:

· Flexible Format: LDE is successful in a virtual format, in person, or a combination of both.

· Customized Curriculum: tailored to the needs of your organization and the participants, updated annually to ensure maximum alignment with strategic imperatives. 

· Cohorts: Assigned peer-mentoring circles—small groups of 6-10 who form a cohort for the length of the program, guided by a Cheryl Alexander & Associates Executive Coach.

· Power Mentors:  Internal and external executives who serve as thought leaders and role models bringing the topics alive through the sharing of their experiences and skills.

· Guided pre-work, discussion and follow up on a range of leadership topics for professional growth and development. Most organizations choose a total of 6-10 topics.

· 1:1 goal setting and coaching with a Cheryl Alexander & Associates Executive Coach.  Participants make a commitment to the practical application of new learning monthly through actions, and to practicing new skills and behaviors until they become effective competencies. Cohorts and coaches support and hold each other accountable throughout.

Personal Brand Building

How do you stand out? I help clients develop a strong identity in the marketplace and understand that they are the CEO of their own brand. Their brand is dependent on strategic alignment of keywords and accomplishments that resonate with the industry they want to work in. Years of writing creative content and paying for targeted ads taught me how the algorithms in most application tracking systems work. I’ll help you use your personal brand to market yourself for a career you thrive in. 

LinkedIn Overview & Refresh

LinkedIn is your digital footprint in the job market. It's a powerful tool to help you connect with people in your current or desired field. Connections matter and LinkedIn helps foster relationship building and start conversations with people based on your connections. Using keywords and features, I can help you improve your LinkedIn profile and get you noticed by recruiters and hiring managers.
