The Coaching Model for Recent Graduates and Career Changers
Career Clarity Coaching
Our approach is rooted in established practices for growth-focused decision-making. The client’s experience forms the ground of the coaching work. Together, we see growth as planned change in the direction of one’s evolving professional values. The coaching model connects these values to choices about growth that fit you as an individual.
Finding Purpose in Your Career
We apply core concepts from studies on successful leadership to the professional growth and action-planning process. Strategic vision, for example, is the ability of a leader to construct a pathway to a clear goal while bringing people together around shared values. The client and coach examine ways to use this concept as a blueprint for professional growth.
Who is this coaching for?
This coaching approach is most likely to benefit professionals who are:
Recently graduated or professionally trained
Interested in entrepreneurial action planning
Mid- or late-career and ready to shift professional focus and identity
Employed yet feeling unsatisfied or undervalued
Nearing retirement or transitioning away from full-time work
Leaders looking to improve communication and management skills
What People Are Saying
“Working under Corinne’s leadership had a lasting impact on my teaching. Her guidance always felt grounded and deeply human, naturally creating a space where I could reflect and adjust without pressure. She has a way of asking the right questions at the right time, which helped me step back, gain perspective and make more intentional choices in my professional path. I truly value those conversations.”

“Corinne's guidance consistently challenged me to approach decisions with greater clarity and consider perspectives I had not previously explored. Through her expertise and professionalism, she instilled a strong sense of confidence in my abilities, while serving as a role model whose leadership I deeply admired. Her mentorship had a lasting impact on both my personal and professional growth.”

“Corinne sees things in me that I do not see in myself. Not only does she see them, she shares them with me. Several years ago, I asked her why she thought I could do a specific job that I was currently in vs. someone that was more qualified on paper than I was. She powerfully told me, ‘You see people as a yes in life. Other people see things that are roadblocks for them.’ ”
