I have spent years helping people like you move through career transitions with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. I am not just here to offer career advice—I’m here to be your trusted guide, a safe space to land, and a resource to help you rebuild your career with intention.

The Emotional Side of Career Transitions

Career changes are more than just updating your resume and searching for job listings. There’s a deep emotional component that often gets overlooked. Job loss, workplace changes, and career shifts can bring up feelings of grief, uncertainty, and even self-doubt. That’s normal.

The key is to approach these transitions with grace and resilience. Allow yourself to process the emotions that come with change while also taking proactive steps toward your next opportunity.

One of my clients, Sami, shared their story of navigating a difficult work environment that ultimately ended in a layoff. Through our work together, they were able to reclaim their confidence, set clear goals, and completely transform their career and outlook on professional fulfillment.

Here’s what they had to say:

“Sheila was instrumental in helping me navigate a toxic work environment, which ended in a layoff. Through my work with Sheila, I was able to remember my value, set clear goals, and really tap into what did and did not serve me in an employer. This work resulted in a 360-degree change in focus and profession, and a new outlook on life and what professional satisfaction and success really means to me. Sheila is a true gift – literally – she was my 50th birthday present to myself. I have recommended her to several friends and she continues to be a great cheerleader and friend to me! Give yourself the gift of Sheila!” – Sami

This is what career coaching is about. It’s not just about finding another job—it’s about rediscovering who you are, what you truly want, and stepping into a career that aligns with your values and goals.

How to Move Forward with Confidence

If you’re currently facing a career transition, here are some key steps to help you navigate this period with grace and resilience:

1. Honor Your Emotions
Career transitions can be emotional, and that’s okay. Instead of pushing feelings aside, take time to acknowledge them. Whether it’s frustration, grief, or even excitement for what’s ahead (or all three at once) – every feeling is valid.

2. Reconnect with Your Strengths and Values
Before jumping into job applications, take a step back. What are your core strengths? What values do you want to align with in your next role? If you’re not sure where to start, my blog is filled with resources and tools to help you reflect on these questions. Check it out here: Transitions Coaching Blog.

3. Redefine Success on Your Own Terms
Many of my clients realize that their definition of success shifts when they go through career changes. Maybe climbing the corporate ladder no longer serves you. Maybe it’s time to explore a new industry or prioritize flexibility and work-life balance. Your next step should reflect what you truly want.

4. Build a Strong Support System
Surround yourself with people who lift you up—mentors, friends, family, and, yes, a career coach who understands your journey. Support makes all the difference in how you experience this transition.

A Safe Space to Land

If you’re feeling uncertain about what’s next, I want you to know that my door is always open. I am here to help you regain confidence, define your next steps, and move forward with clarity.
