Career Transitions for Professionals

As a career transitions coach, I work with professionals from many fields, a number of whom have had years of training and experience in a particular area-- and who've come to a crossroads where something needs to change. As a certified life coach, I am trained to help people make conscious choices that lead to satisfying results. I can help you if you are:

• Burnt out at your job and wanting a change
• Wanting to find or create a way of working that you're passionate about-- even if it's totally different from what you've ever done before!
• Needing support with motivation and accountability to find a new job
• Looking at possibilities for shifting career gears in retirement

For over 30 years-- as a life coach, somatic therapist, and director of non-profit volunteer programs-- I have guided hundreds of people in making career and other life transitions. I have seen the powerful impact that opening people's vision for career changes that really fit with who they are and how they want to live can have.

People who've worked with me on making successful career changes say they've valued coaching with me because they:

• Felt validated in going forward in the new directions they wanted
• Felt supported in exploring radically new possibilities for career changes
• Were able to create positive changes that made staying in their current positions viable (e.g., flex time, shift in location, new job description)
• Gained clarity about their purpose in working and living

If you're ready to start making a vital change in your professional life, I'm delighted to share with you two free ways to experience how my coaching can support you in your career transition--

Life in Balance

For many of the people I work with, re-balancing the priorities in their lives is a major issue. In fact, the International Coach Federation's (ICF) 2009 study shows that for 75% of people who seek out coaching, this is one of their two top concerns. For my clients, some of the signs that they're living without balance in their lives include:

• feeling over-stressed
• ongoing irritability
• lack of physical fitness
• inadequate time for family connection, self-care, creative expression.

Coaching allows you to envision your life the way you want it to be, then make new choices for action that support moving in that direction. As your coach, I help you keep your eye on the big picture of what you want, while holding you accountable for the steps you agree to take (e.g., a fitness plan, spending quality time with your family, not working on the weekends, beginning an art project). Step by step, you move into your desired vision of life where you feel replenished and re-connected.

My many years' professional experience in the field of somatic energy work also lets me offer you many ways to manage stress and re-focus your energy to create balance in your life. I combine coaching with body-energy skills, encouraging you to use your intuition and become aware of how you're really feeling. This helps you know when you need to say "yes" and when you need to say "no" to particular choices or action steps that you're considering. This in turn builds your confidence so that you really know when you're moving in the right direction in re-creating your life.

If you are experiencing any of the following, I invite you to try a free consultation with me about how life coaching with body-energy awareness can help you re-direct your most precious resources of time and energy into what matters most for you:

• Difficulty finding time and space in your life to enjoy ongoing, quality connections with your spouse, partner, children
• Feeling out of sorts, out of shape, or not living a healthy life style
• Difficulty making time to engage in creative projects that express your passion and who you really are
• Feeling enmeshed by work and family obligations and activities, with little time to connect with yourself

As a Coaches Training Institute (CTI)-certified life coach, it has been a delight for me to coach the passionate, motivated certification students I've supported and mentored through their rigorous, six-month CTI certification courses.

Testimonials

Career Transitions

"Eve was a fundamental part of my development in a number of areas in the last year: with work, my family and my personal growth. Since she is a great role model as a coach, she helped me develop my own coaching skills and was very supportive throughout my CTI coaching certification program process. I also really value how she connected with me by understanding my preferences and needs as a client."

-- Anna Novaes, Manager of Learning/Life Coach, McLean, VA

"I worked with Eve Siegel throughout my coaching certification program at the Coaches Training Institute (CTI). Not only did she provide me with the support, examples and guidance I needed for my certification, she also provided amazing coaching for personal and professional challenges I was dealing with during this time. Thanks to Eve, I feel that I now have the confidence and tools to forge ahead on my continuously unfolding journey as a coach, entrepreneur, wife and mom."

-- Claudia Engel, Entrepreneur/Coach, Atlanta, GA

Eve was my biggest advocate through the Coaches Training Institute (CTI) coach certification program. She is supportive, compassionate, and insightful. With her help, I was able to balance the program, a full-time job, my personal life, and teaching another course! I am very grateful for her support."

"Through my coaching with Eve for my CTI certification program, I quickly discovered what I was dismissing in my life with the assumption that those things were unchangeable. Eve consistently provided opportunities to distinguish the true nature of my life situation, to become clearly aware of where I am, where I want to go, and most importantly, what I need to do to get there. Eve helped me tap into the endless possibilities of living my life authentically and within my integrity."

"I am forever grateful to Eve's amazing, energy-centered coaching for reconnecting me to the vital, expressive part of myself I needed to fulfill my dream of being a professional public speaker!"

-- Jill Lebeau, M.S., MFT, spiritual psychotherapist & motivational speaker, Albany, California

"I've really enjoyed my coaching experience with Eve, and feel I have benefitted significantly. Coaching's real advantage as a transformative process is its clear goals and steps for success-- I can see it, I'm going there. The great awareness for me now is realizing that I don't have to do something difficult-- such as finishing my book-- all by myself. I have kindred spirits, including my coach, right here in my life, energizing me for my task.

Eve is a natural coach--flexible, imaginative, sensitive to others. She gives me space to be in my vision and doesn't let me stay in the old, stuck places for long. She helps me make the steps towards my personal commitments realistic so I feel now that I can reach my goals."

-- Catherine Pyke, program officer (private foundation), Larkspur, California

"Thank you for your powerful coaching assistance! I've been able to make so many positive changes in my life-- a salary raise, enlarging my vision for professional growth, and deepening my commitment to my health and well-being-- through our valuable work together."

-- Jim Walker, MFT, psychotherapist, Oakland, California

"With Eve, I discovered that my exhaustion, frustration, and feeling of wanting to give up work that I loved came from feeling demoralized and devalued. When Eve suggested that I raise my fees, I thought it was the most irrelevant and ridiculous thing that I'd heard. However, she was right. The clients that I work with now understand my need to do this, and they support me. With Eve, I also built a strategy for keeping up my energy throughout my long work day even while being in a very high level of physical pain. Eve helped me find a way to add to all of this a professional internship that I didn't know if I could physically do, but which I found gave me great energy and satisfaction.

I've been able not only to continue my professional work, but also build into my life and work more of what I love and value. In short, the quality of my life has greatly increased. And so I feel I've been able to contribute more of my gifts to the world."

-- Janet Jean Motika, music therapist, Oakland, California

"Eve's coaching helped me understand what I needed to do to pursue a new phase of my professional career. Among other things, I learned to open my vision and transform my own inner barriers to success. When I received the job offer I sought, I realized fully the power of coaching to help me get what I really wanted."

-- William Strawn, manager of legislative affairs, City & County of San Francisco, California

"I got so much more from our coaching than I ever imagined! I've moved along with my goal of expanding my Asian tour business-- and see how it's connected with growth possibilities in other areas of my life, too. Most significantly, you helped me envision the interplay among my values, my particular issues, and my energy. Right after our last session, six new venues accepted my requests to display my new brochures! And I continue to feel highly motivated in marketing my upcoming tours and my photo cards. Thanks so much!"

-- Roger Harmon, former Peace Corps director (Thailand), Asia tour director, photographer, Albuquerque, New Mexico

Life in Balance

"I can't believe this work! I had no idea that coaching with Eve would help open this new door in my life. My original goal was the need to clear stuff from my house. Now I see that freeing up space lets me really open my home and my heart to the people I care about. I feel good about inviting them over for dinner and letting them see the beauty in which I live. My life has turned inside out, and i feel great about new paths that are continuing to open for me!"

-- Steve Matosich, photographer & tour/gallery guide, San Francisco, California

"Coaching with Eve was vital to transforming my life in several ways within six months:

• Our work together helped my life move from hell to heaven when I was struggling with an incompatible architect to remodel my kitchen. I learned to stand up for what was important to me in creating my dream work space. I learned to communicate boldly-- and gained the confidence I needed to find the right people to complete my new kitchen. I'm thrilled with it-- and with the experience I gained through my coaching in creating it!
• Having recently retired from a busy professional career, I used coaching to help focus and reframe my thoughts about this next phase of my life. I'm now making choices about the activities and people I want to engage with based on clarifying my current life vision and aligning my actions with what is most rewarding and energizing to me at this time.
• Coaching also gave me the courage to embark on a solo travel adventure-- another long-standing dream of mine. Eve and I explored this goal from many standpoints, including my expectations, fears, and purpose. This process gave me the confidence to go on a travel venture with a child-development focus in a developing country. This gave me a more enlightened understanding of poverty and politics, resulting as well in new, rewarding friendships.

In all these life transitions, Eve's motivational support has helped me find new pathways for turning frustrating and/or angst-ridden situations into creative and joyous experiences with very affirming results. She brings not only her professional coaching skill, but also her warmth, caring, and integrity to the journey of stepping forward in new directions. I highly recommend her services to people ready to begin changing their lives in new, positive ways."

-- Janet Constantinou, PhD, child development specialist, Stanford, California
