History
Career By Design was established in 2003. Dedicated to preparing individuals in all industries worldwide for their next job or career change. I use career coaching, assessment tools and job search strategies to implement a holistic approach to your situation.
I strive for four key outcomes; enhanced self-awareness, clarity regarding life purpose and goals, increased ability to manage your own career and enhanced quality of life. I believe that everyone can have work that they love and that pays well. My mission is to empower individuals to make successful career and life choices.
My philosophy: I believe that individuals can break through self-limiting beliefs, reach self-fulfilling breakthroughs and achieve their highest potential. I enjoy helping individuals to create strategies and implement plans, leading to the achievement of their most ambitious career goals. I challenge you to use their wisdom and value system when making career choices. When working with you I am guided by my spiritual and intellectual awareness. I am committed to helping individuals discover the work that they were meant to do.
I have assisted hundreds of job seekers worldwide.
