Career Counseling and Coaching in Long Lake, Minnesota.

We live in an age where individuals tend to change careers multiple times in their life. The days of people starting and ending their career with the same company or career are rare. It is important that we develop the ability to adapt to change in our ever changing world. If we are not happy with our career it can have a big impact on our life. Testing can help identify areas of interest, aptitude, expertise, likes. In counseling, we strive to help clients get more reward from their careers without the need to change jobs. Testing and the ability to openly talk about how you feel about your job, how you could change that same job, or what else to look for have proven very valuable.

What is the perfect work for you? Maybe you can answer this question easily, or maybe not. Either way, knowing yourself well enough to be able to answer this question will open up a whole new world of possibilities for you. All of us should be able to identify enough about ourselves to point us toward career and work choices that are fulfilling and challenging for us, and beneficial to others. Become aware of what you don't know or haven't realized about yourself, and actively find and choose the work that will make you happy and which will allow you to share your gifts with the world.

Are you a high-achieving man looking for career guidance? Executive coaching has its place, but I provide something different. I don’t give you advice, give you homework, or try to motivate you. Instead, like an emotional surgeon, I use research-proven EMDR therapy to uncover the emotional barriers and insecurities that hold you back and heal them at their source. If you’re a hard-working man on the verge of greatness, this can be the step necessary for personal and professional breakthrough. If you’re a highly successful man who's already conquered your professional goals, this process can help you recalibrate your priorities, strengthen your relationships, and leave a lasting legacy.

If you are having difficulties coping on the job, managing the work or just not sure this is the right work for you, maybe therapy can be a tool to help you think about what is your next step. Job transition, job stress or conflict can all contribut to confusion about where are you going in your career. Taking some time for yourself to think about your current situation and the direction you want for yourself with a psychologist can be beneficial. I do not perform career assessments, but provide talk therapy and insight oriented therapy to help you think and decide about the best fit for you in the world of work.

As a PhD psychologist with 20 years of experience in executive coaching, leadership development, and even sales coaching I've developed an action-oriented career coaching process. It's been highly beneficial for those wanting to speed the advancement of their career or for those in transition considering new options. I help individuals harness their inner passion for what they really want to do in life while strategically honing the needed skills to achieve their highest career goals!

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.

I love helping clients work through life transitions. Finding a new job or changing careers is often exactly that, a major life transition. My approach is to help client's identify the strengths, goals, and values that they need to have realized, in order for them to find success in any new job. I also help client's identify stumbling blocks that get in the way of them making real change. This process often involves delving into big emotions, confronting vulnerabilities, and understanding how our views of self show up in any career-change equation. Clients who seek me out for this type of counseling can count on receiving non-judging, challenging, and encouraging support from me.
