Frequently Asked Questions

Coaching is a collaborative and co-creative experience where we discover your strengths, values, goals and passions and use them to move you towards the purposeful, meaningful, fulfilling life and career you are wanting.

The coach’s role is to draw out the resourcefulness that lies within you, and co-create a path forward with you that meets your needs and goals. I create a safe space for you to explore, and offer you structure and accountability to reach for what's possible.

We utilize tools such as assessments, conversation, reflective questions, brainstorming, and offer you expert guidance to move towards your goal.  

Working with a career coach can help you get un-stuck and identify what's missing from your career path, so we can create something that is a better fit for your passions and strengths - and your lifestyle. 

You have something unique to offer the world!  In coaching we can unlock that sense of purpose together and redesign your career, or find you a new one!

As an experienced Coach with Human Resources experience and training in Positive Psychology, I am able to lend guidance and support through a variety of scenarios that come up in career coaching. 

Whether you are dealing with being fired, starting work after parental leave, being a fresh college graduate, starting in a new industry, being promoted to a manager role, or changing career paths in mid-life, I've been in your shoes! 

I know what it's like to feel discouraged, lacking in confidence, or lost in your career. You need a fresh perspective and boost to get your life back on track. Coaching can provide that for you! 

Absolutely! I love re-doing resumes and building better LinkedIn Profiles for my clients, even if they don't want to do coaching. 

Check out our Career Services page for all the stand alone options that don't include coaching. Connect with me for a consult call to get a quote, and then ask to see samples of the resumes we have done for other satisfied clients who landed dream jobs!

The time that your coaching process will take depends on the complexity of your goals and your commitment and openness to your process. 

We also offer different packages varying in length from 1 session - 7 sessions,  so you can find the best fit for you. Hourly stand alone services are also available. We recommend a minimum commitment of 4 sessions to give yourself time to work through the process. 

Most of my clients reach their goals within the first 2 - 3months of coaching. 

With Parley Coaching you receive the added benefit of a Positive Psychology approach. We take the best available current research on how people flourish, and practically apply it with a coaching lens to give clients practical tools and evidence -based practices that boost life- satisfaction and improve their ability to meet goals. 

Coaching is 100% confidential in nature. What happens in our sessions stays in our sessions, just like seeing a therapist.

If your work is sponsoring your coaching sessions, we will discuss which goals and information may be shared with your manager.
