Career Counseling and Coaching in Bowie, Maryland.

It can be very hard to find exactly what you want to do in life. Uncovering one's purpose, though supposedly intuitive, can be elusive and transitive. What's more, messages from friends, family and society can add to the confusion. You may feel like you know what you are doing right now is not quite right, but you are not sure what is the next step. Or the thing you love to do does not fit with other dreams you have for your life. Working together we will unpack the complex pieces of career and purpose, allowing you greater freedom and clarity from which to make decisions. You do not have to know right now what is next, only that you wish things to be different.

If you want to move into a different career or are not sure what you want to do, we will work together to help you develop a plan for the future. Have you ever thought about going back to school?

Are you growing bored, unappreciated or frustrated at work? A person's God-given temperament should always be considered when determining a career path. An assessment will be administered to assist in career/occupational guidance. This assessment will aid in understanding and identifying an individual's strengths, weaknesses, stressors, intellectual energies, decision making skills, and the desire to take on responsibilities. Based on the results of the assessment, and with my guidance, the client will become more aware of careers and/or jobs which may, or may not, serve them well in the areas of emotional and mental stimulation and satisfaction.

In American society, our careers help define us. And finding purpose in our careers gives us a sense of worth. As a therapist I see that although a career may pay our expenses it should not define us. It should, however, offer some benefit in either our personal development or fulfillment. I work with my clients to find ways to identify what is useful and discuss where these skills could be applied.

As we grow and change throughout life, we sometimes need to make major changes. Particularly at mid-life, we experience profound changes in our values and priorities.

Having done a great deal of college career counseling and being in the business field much of my life, this area comes natural to me. I really enjoy coaching, asking the sixty-four dollar questions. And then discussing those hard areas that are commonly missed. Also I enjoy getting you ready for the changes and/or... Much of career counseling misses the simple points, because one is looking for the technical and the "finer" book concepts that many are taught. Be cool and calm.

We spend most of our lives working. When our work doesn’t feel fulfilling, then our lives can feel empty. I believe that everyone has the potential to live a life that they find meaningful.

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.
