Career Counseling and Coaching in Cottage Grove, Minnesota.

Feeling confined in your professional role? You wake up and dread going to work. It may even ruin your weekend time as you start to feel agitated about going back to your job. Perhaps you are looking at everything you know to do 'something different'. You might feel overwhelmed if you do not know what that different is. Or, you might have a vision but it requires to you be vulnerable, trust in you, and you feel terrified. I understand and I have helped others in similar situations. I can and want to help you too.

We live in an age where individuals tend to change careers multiple times in their life. The days of people starting and ending their career with the same company or career are rare. It is important that we develop the ability to adapt to change in our ever changing world. If we are not happy with our career it can have a big impact on our life. Testing can help identify areas of interest, aptitude, expertise, likes. In counseling, we strive to help clients get more reward from their careers without the need to change jobs. Testing and the ability to openly talk about how you feel about your job, how you could change that same job, or what else to look for have proven very valuable.

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.

Based on your personality type I can help you identify the best type of position and organization for you. Once you know what you are shooting for I will help you identify your strengths and then build on those to successfully find a position. I can help you develop a resume and cover letter, prepare for interviews, work to increase your self-confidence and support you through the job seeking process. Often in the job seeking process family stress arises, I’m trained to help you effectively manage these so your family is not negatively impacted but the stress of job seeking.

Are you a high-achieving man looking for career guidance? Executive coaching has its place, but I provide something different. I don’t give you advice, give you homework, or try to motivate you. Instead, like an emotional surgeon, I use research-proven EMDR therapy to uncover the emotional barriers and insecurities that hold you back and heal them at their source. If you’re a hard-working man on the verge of greatness, this can be the step necessary for personal and professional breakthrough. If you’re a highly successful man who's already conquered your professional goals, this process can help you recalibrate your priorities, strengthen your relationships, and leave a lasting legacy.
