Career Counseling and Coaching in Sarasota, Florida.

Career Counseling can help people at various stages in their careers, whether looking for that first job, suffering from work burnout, or contemplating retirement or re-entry into the workforce. I'd like to help you sort out your career issues & their implications on life. Career struggles are tough. They hurt. They are deeply personal, and often mirror bigger life issues. Together, we can explore these issues and identify a wide range of growth areas through the lens of 'career': identifying interests & strengths, learning resiliency & flexibility, applying communication & social skills. Just like problems at work can mirror problems at home, growth at work can translate into growth at home

Let's figure out your purpose in life - not just your job. I love to help people figure out what gets them "in the zone" where they love what they are doing. Sometimes life gets in the way of figuring out your real talents and skills. We may originally take a job for money, and then one day realize that your are not happy. That's when we can figure out what your unique talent and skills are. Life is not meant to be just tolerated: let's figure out what you love to do!

I’ve often helped my clients through difficult transitions, including changes in career. I’ve guided those in college to navigate issues of meaning, purpose, and direction, have helped middle-aged men navigate the emotional stress and financial burden of providing for kids and elderly parents, and have coached successful men through transitions around retirement, role changes, and leaving a legacy. At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be.

While most career counselors love to give you capacity based profiles of what your talents and interests are for your best bet career choices, Grey Matters international believes that most people make predictably irrational decisions and then after making them learn way to make them fit into their identities using various types of rationalizations and strategies. We are able to assist folks in career counseling type settings by giving a deeper look at their decision making profile so they can better understand where the core frustration or desire is coming from in the world of work.
