Career Coaching - Shulman Associates

ONE-ON-ONE COACHING

A career coach leads you through a process by which you address questions you’ve never asked yourself. You’re lead to a place of clarity so you can think clearly and definitively and get comfortable with your job or career goals. This is an exciting process of discovery and new beginnings. This is a time for listening to your inner voice, honesty and getting in touch with your desires so you can get the job or career you really want.

A successful career coach addresses the questioning, anxiety, and stress one typically experiences during a job or career change. This Fast-Track-3-3-3 Career Coaching process swiftly guides you through a discovery process to realistically acknowledge your innate skills and strengths, and weakness, with the goal of ideating, and ultimately deciding upon and getting the work you truly want. Most career coaches go slow because they want you to keep coming back, their programs are structured to last for several months and cost several thousand dollars. I take a more proactive and assertive approach because we have 3 weeks to get you properly positioned for success. I consistently provide insights, observations, and direction, and am available to you any time throughout the process.

Coaching Tailored To Your Needs

Nothing about the Fast-Track-3-3-3 Career Coaching process is boilerplate because every person’s skill sets, background, needs, and challenges are unique. Together we’ll discover and address your specific goals, and define your successful search strategy, keeping in mind your unique work and life experience. This is not a “one size fits all” process. Much to the contrary, a custom-tailored approach is essential for each client.

The Right Career Coach For You

I’m unique in the world of career coaches because as an executive recruiter and career coach I’ve been helping people change and choose their jobs and careers for over 30 years. Most career coaches approach their work from a psychological or therapeutic perspective, they coach more by principle and best practices, not from practical experience working with hiring managers and companies. I’ve yet to find a career coach who has also been a successful recruiter, executive search and talent advisor.

I was also an early entrant into the career coaching space. In the late 90s, I trained with David Rock, a pioneer in offering career coach instruction and certification. I’ve counseled thousands of people in every imaginable industry, from entry level to the C-suite, all of whom were in the process of changing jobs or careers. And I’ve worked with hundreds of hiring managers from a wide variety of companies and industries.

Most career coaches will agree there’s a certain degree of pragmatism and mastery of subtle nuance required when repackaging someone’s career and work history. What makes me unique, and provides you with a value-add you’ll not find from any other coach, is 3 decades of hearing feedback from hiring managers and corporate HR departments about what they want to read, see and hear from candidates. I pass this all that data, plus so much more, onto you.

I take a very direct approach; I challenge your assumptions and beliefs, reflect back key themes and issues, and ask relevant and thought-provoking questions with a dispassionate and objective perspective. And I’m not shy about addressing difficult topics such as weaknesses and potential disparities between skill sets and desired outcomes.

Clients that work with me benefit from:

3 decades of first-hand experience coaching and recruiting thousands of candidates
3 decades of experience and feedback from working with hundreds of hiring managers from a wide variety of companies in multiple industries
