What is Charting Your Course With Coaching, Inc.?

I established Charting Your Course with Coaching, Inc., in 2010 after completing life coaching training with Fowler- Wainwright International Institute of Professional Coaching. I became attracked to the field of coaching because it incorporates the concepts of spirituality, balance and the belief that the answers we seek are within us. As a life and career transition coach, I will assist you to identify your personal needs and goals. We will use this information to determine how your occupation fits into your concept of life. We will identify the barriers to attaining your vision of career success. This could mean finding your first professional position, changing your career, climbing the corporate ladder or phasing into retirement. Call me at 402.965.1496 or email me for more information. Your initial session is free.

21 must haves for any professional

     Over the years, I have read several "must have" lists.  Sometimes the list didn't make sense but as I proceeded with the activity the need for the item became clear.  I created this list for the professional that wants to ready for a job interview. 

  1. Interview suit including a shoes, jewelry, perfume/after shave.
  2. Brief case or portfolio 
  3. Resume
  4. Professional references (at least 3)
  5. Personal references (at least 3)
  6. Network system or support group for job search
  7. Career path or goals with options
  8. Resume (corresponding to each career path)
  9. Email address that is restricted to job search/professional work
  10. Internet presence (ie Facebook and Linkedin)
  11. Elevator speech
  12. Stationary
  13. Personal business cards
  14. Cover and thank you letters that can be customized
  15. Documentation of formal education, military experience, workshop, etc

  17. Know your skills sets and your limitations
