Life of A Career Coach
Jay Lillie
November 03, 2009
When one such entrepreneur was asked about the hardest decision he ever had to make, he answered that he didn´t know what a hard decision was. An entrepreneur will approach decision-making with the idea that there´s a strong likelihood that he/she will be wrong. This doesn´t dissuade them – to the contrary they just do the best they can and worry about handling obstacles as they arise.
Here's a few entrepreneurs:
In today's tumultuous job market where it's difficult to navigate a position search, it's easy to lose track of what makes your job a satisfying and rewarding experience. Sure you have to pay the bills and support the family, but since you are spending nearly half or your waking life working, shouldn't it be something you enjoy and look forward to? It's easy to lose that perspective when you feel the pressure to find a position quickly, or become complacent in your current job. Or maybe you can't wait until the end of the day to get away from work. It doesn't have to be like that, and it isn't for the many people who make career choices that align with who they are and what they enjoy. Are you one of them?
On Target Career Coaching uses a unique and sophisticated process to assist our clients in discovering the career path that they find most enjoyable and fulfilling. We assist them to focus on their job search and not let the current economic climate limit their abilities. Sometimes you just need someone to show you ways of doing things that you never thought of before. Someone who will show you how to cut through the current maze and get you the job you're looking for in the fastest most direct way possible. On Target Career Coaching can work with you to help you realize not only where your passion lies, but where you also have transferable skills to get you to that job you love!

Through purposeful questioning I create an environment of self-discovery for my clients. I have infused my practice with positive psychology applications and am highly skilled in assisting clients with identifying and breaking down mental roadblocks. Many of my clients feel stuck in their career. Contemplating a career change, they are unsure of what they want to do next and feel overwhelmed by the process of what it would take to achieve their goals. Some want to stay in their field but are unfulfilled in their current position and are looking for a change that would provide deeper fulfillment. Many experience self-doubt and self-defeating thoughts holding them back from taking the necessary steps.
Life coaching provides my clients with the structure they need to actually get into action and break through the self-defeating thoughts. The weekly coaching sessions take my clients away from the demands and distractions of everyday life and create a private space where they are the focus. Through weekly goal setting my clients have gone from being stuck to moving forward with increased motivation. You get out what you put in and once the results begin to show the level of encouragement and commitment strengthen and the gains increase exponentially. I work with my clients by phone and offer a complimentary consultation for anyone interested in coaching.

My coaching company, Wisdom at Work, serves successful professionals, executives and entrepreneurs as well as departmental leaders at the United Nations. I have been consulting and coaching for 20 years and serve a wide variety of businesses ranging from solopreneurs to large international organizations. Although I offer on-site, customized packages, most of my work is one on one by telephone so I'm able to serve clients in the US, Canada and the UK all in the same day.
I coach individuals and also offer Wisdom at Work MasterMind groups, a 2 month program for entrepreneurs who are so busy working in their businesses that they rarely have the opportunity to work on their businesses. We work intensively with no more than 5 members in a group over a short period of time to strengthen business foundations, clarify vision and missions, and to close the gaps between where their businesses are and where they want them to be. I also customize the Wisdom at Work MasterMind process for already established teams within organizations.
