I’m Michelle Powers and I'm obsessed with your career. Yep, YOURS.
Through various odd jobs in my youth (telemarketer, retail, tattoo parlor, photographer's assistant, etc) I became infatuated with the process of designing, building, and recalibrating careers.
A job does not have to be forever. A career should not be a life sentence. Whether you want to change your function, your field, or both at the same time, I'll work with you to crack the code to your career transformation.
I'll serve as your guide, collaborator, and conspirator on the journey so you feel supported, confident, and - hell - even JOYFUL about your search.
FAQ
Questions? I got you.
Why would I need to hire a career coach? Not to sound like an infomercial, but if you are feeling stuck, unsatisfied, or unsure of where to go next with your career, working with a coach can be a really smart investment of your time and resources. I'll be by your side to provide structure, accountability, and actionable steps to move you forward in your career transformation process in support of your end goal [whatever that may look like].
What does a typical career coaching engagement look like? Our 90-minute Zoom sessions will be 2x a month for a minimum of 3 months. If you would like additional support beyond the core sessions, happy to help. Each session will involve us delving into the core challenges you are looking to solve, while simultaneously holding the larger vision
Are you going to give me homework? Yuppers! Sharpen those pencils, we've got work for you to do. Don't worry - all of the work will be in service of your vision, your goals, and represent tactical action that gets you closer to your ideal future. Promise that every assignment is purposeful and intentional. And the best part? No grades here!
What would make you not want to coach me? If you are not interested in growth, learning, and change - I'm not sure we are a good fit. The reality of coaching is that you get out of the experience what you put INTO it. So if you are *not* seeking a meaningful growth opportunity, I'm probably not the right coach for you.
