Career Counselling and Coaching in Anmore, British Columbia.

Our struggle with finding a fulfilling and practical career in our lives is often related to how we feel about ourselves. Our self-esteem is connected to our roles in life, career being a central role. Our self-worth is connected to how we value ourselves simply because we exist. We need to find a balance between self-esteem and self-worth in order to make the big choices in life like our career. In my practice we work from the ground up where the client explores who they are, how they have adapted to please others, and what they want for themselves in life. We pair that deeper work with practical ways clients can find a career that matches who they are from a grounded and confident place.

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.

Having worked in the finance industry for many years, I help clients remove their blocks, create clarity and help with work towards their career(dream job). My treatment involves having the client work on: financial plan that includes their goals. We go through obstacles and mental blocks; and their fears of success. Clients feel motivated, they learn how to build resources, change their negative beliefs to positive, and learn new skills to communicate effective.

Career counseling, although a ‘named form’ of counseling in itself, is yet quite transient. Usually once I begin working with a client who is requesting career counseling, we find that the hiccups they are experiencing in their quest is based on fear, anxiety and/or stress, health issues, sometimes addictions (or the addictions of others), anger issues, depression, or even shrapnel from their family of origin. So I do not view career counseling as a sole issue but rather a symptom. I love to work in this arena since it allows me to be a CSI agent for an hour, unlocking hidden truths that have become speed bumps along life’s journey to achieve one’s personal best.

Do you feel like lack of social confidence, anxiety, and poor social skills are keeping you back at work? Or maybe you are just starting your career and selecting jobs that won't require talking much to others or socializing, because you just feel so anxious even thinking about that. Do you dread group work, social events, speaking out in meetings, parties and networking? I have good news for you! Social confidence is a learned skill, one you can learn just like any other. You just need the right information, some support and feedback and the drive to try some new things. The rewards are potentially very large, especially at work. Level up your career and your life!

We know that choosing a career can be a daunting task, and the process of exploring and planning your future career can take some time. In order to assist students through this process, I offer a variety of careers focused on personality, talent, degree and dedication. I did a lot of information research on this and I matched successfully. Many of my previous clients were happy for my advice. I serve my clients to get a good solution. I also discuss my clients' career questions to experts in the field. I offer resources to assist to get a better future.

Career choices can seem all-important and overwhelming. Whether you are starting, restarting, or making a change in your career - I can help you discover what the best fit for you may be. We will investigate what you are good at, what your passions are, and what kind of a working environment you need to do your best work. Along with all this we will seek to discover how and why you react to certain personalities or management styles. When you understand the reasons of your reactions we can then find ways for you to respond to situations in a healthy manner for yourself. There is always room for new ways to communicate and resolve conflict. Let me help you be the most successful you can be.

Our careers are often about our aspirations and how we want to use our gifts in the world. If you find yourself stuck or unfulfilled, you may be finding yourself blocked from your highest potential. There may be personality factors involved or there may be another route waiting for you to explore. We will assess your situation to see where you may be getting stuck and where your heart is in relation to your work. This may involve accessing intuition, as well as the facts of the matter. Be prepared to explore widely as we evaluate many paths that may lead in new directions. The closed doors of today are often the windows into new possibilities for tomorrow!
