By Lori, on June 20th, 2012%

Do you embrace your strengths? Or do you keep trying to fix your weaknesses?

When I first met Lori, I was in a rut. Having spent 25 years in the same industry, I was bored, max’d out and didn't know what to do next. I was pigeon-holed into an industry that I was not so fond of, and saw no way to get out. I felt trapped. Lori understood my predicament, as she had seen it all before -- she was sympathetic, but resolute in knowing that she could help me find answers. I took great solace in that!

Through several sessions and dozens of exercises, I began to get a clearer picture of who I am, and where my strengths and talents truly lie. Working with Lori, I was able to translate that understanding into updated, targeted resumes that quickly produced interviews and gave me the confidence to express myself better than ever before.

Consulting a Career Coach should be mandatory for anyone in today's work force, and Lori is the best at her profession.
