Career Counseling and Coaching in La Crescenta, California.

We live in a world where it is no longer the norm to work in a job from the beginning of entering the workforce to retirement. No matter where you are on your Career path, there is a way or two, or three. We will explore your possibilities, opportunities, and desires as well as needs from a career. With the goal of finding the path that best meets your needs.

A large component of career choice is how we view ourselves and what we feel we can accomplish. So there's a big element of identity in there. I use Positive Psychology tools to assess the individual's strengths of character and what they view as important tools for success that they already have in their arsenal. From that perspective, we also look at those character strengths that could use a little further strengthening in order to best serve the individual reach their goals. Dreaming and imagining are big pieces of this process, so we also explore those in depth. I encourage realistic dreaming and identify fears and doubts that getting the way of dreaming and accomplishing dreams.

Are you starting down a path, or maybe interested in course correction? Either situation can be especially daunting and stressful. How do you get on a path that leads to professional satisfaction? What do you do when you find yourself a long way from what hoped and dreamed about? It can feel as if you're condemned to a life you never wanted: "How did I get here, and is there a way out? Is there any chance to pursue those ideas I still think about?" Together we explore these questions and possibilities.

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.
