Throughout my 35 years of professional work, I have had many jobs, played many roles and developed many skills, but some key themes run throughout. As a career consultant, leadership coach, counsellor, and educator, I focus on helping people make effective decisions on issues in their lives and work (their "careers"). The emphasis is always on "What s important" to you, the client. How do you understand yourself and your purpose? Being true to yourself, being authentic, is the key to loving and excelling in your work, and to staying on purpose in your life. Once you make the decision, attention shifts to taking action that will produce the results you want. Identifying and getting past any obstacles is essential to the action phase, but the focus is more on your vision for the future and on your strengths. That is where your energy lies. As a professional writer, speaker, trainer, and facilitator, I help people gain knowledge, insights, understanding, and skills to move themselves forward and communicate effectively. Learning is important. More important is applying your learning to make a difference in your career. Looking at "career" as the combination of all the roles that we play in our lives*, I will work with you holistically, appreciating that each aspect of your life impacts upon all the others. That is what work-life balance is all about. Moving forward in your career, in the way that you want, is what I call "flying". Moving past obstacles and getting unstuck is "taking flight". When I graduated from high school, I wanted to be an aeronautical engineer. I have since taken a very different route**, but I am still working to help people "fly". (See The Goose Story ) I am the primary service provider at Ascendo Consulting , so when you choose Ascendo, you will be working with me in whatever capacity serves your needs. Our services are, however, flexible. I am blessed to have an exceptional group of colleagues with whom I work on larger contracts and to whom I can direct clients when they need something other than what I offer. See The Team for more information about the Ascendo Associates. Please contact me if you think I may be able to serve you. I look forward to talking with you. * This is the definition of the word "career" used in the Career Development field. "Career" refers to all aspects of our lives, not just to the paid work that we do. ** I obtained a B.A. in History from Queen s University (1966); an M.Ed. in Counselling from the University of Ottawa (1980); and, since 2003, have been engaged in Leadership Coach training, as both trainee and instructor, with BCoach Systems LLC and Leadership University. In addition to my work at Ascendo Consulting, I work part-time as a Senior Consultant with the international consulting and career transition firm, Right Management Consultants.
