Career Counseling and Coaching in Garden City Park, New York.

Are you in the right field? Do you want to discover what your strengths are? Perhaps you should be going back to school or looking to upgrade your skills on your current job to move ahead. When working with clients, I often find that they don't know what their true value is in the market. They don't know what they are naturally good at doing or how to make changes, or even what else is out there. I can steer you in the right direction and help you attain your employment goals. Sometimes, what you need is confidence, assertive communication improvement, an understanding of what your body language is signaling. I can role play interviews with you and assist with resume building.

Many clients benefit from Vocational or Career Counseling. Often they do not know career goals or stuck in their present job. Chris Colasuonno has an Master in Business Degree and vast experience providing Career Counseling and Vocational Training. As a Life Coach, many skills transfer over to Career Counseling where we analyze your goals and job path. Chris has counseled many individuals in the Putnam and Westchester County area.

I don't do formal career counseling, but enjoy counseling entrepreneurs, business men and women, and performing artists. We would help you develop better assertiveness skills, clarify direction, improve motivation, encourage and guide you in negotiating higher salaries and rates, and cope with job/career crisis and change. I have worked with many people who lost their jobs in the current economic downturn. I also have a specialty working with performing artists to help them find satisfying jobs that allow them to pursue their art, and work with them on stage fright, creative blocks, and balancing relationship/work.

Earning a living is a major part of our lives; ideally it should be fulfilling as well as providing for material needs. If you are unhappy in your work life, there are many approaches and choices that can radically improve it. Sometimes it is a matter of altering attitude and motivation so that you exude energy not resignation. Transitioning to a new position of responsibility can call for flexibility in modifying work habits, and handling interpersonal relationships. Making a career change is more possible than most of us realize, I began my professional training as a therapist in my late 50's after working in technology for 35 years. I can help you sort out how to move forward.

Work is an enormously important part of our lives. As is often said, we spend more hours of our lives at work than anywhere else. So making that work as good as it can be is vitally important to our health, sanity, and general well-being. Yet that, like so many things, can be easier said than done. I can help you explore your upbringing and education, your personal values, needs, and desires, along with ambitions and fears to help you find and succeed along a well-chosen professional path. This kind of support and guidance is just as important for someone just embarking on a career as it is for someone well along the path. It's never too late to take control of your direction.

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.

A career is often a major part of one's life, and finding a disconnect between what you do and your values or interests can be destabilizing and painful. I offer in depth discussions on values, interests, work/life balance goals, and lifestyle goals in order to find a career that aligns. All are unique and important components that need to be considered when determining a job switch or addition. It's a big life change and emotional support in therapy throughout the change is incredibly important as well.

Careers are integral to the identities of many people, while for others careers are simply means for attaining a happy life. Whether you’re developing your first career or looking to switch careers, I use a combination of assessment batteries and counseling to explore my clients’ goals, preferences, and aptitudes to identify their career path and develop a plan for achieving it.

Level Up: Maybe you’ve actually been thinking of taking the next steps in your life. Whether it’s more job fulfillment, thoughts of leveling up in your career, as a parent, teen, young adult, or senior and wondering about the future…this is a great time to begin to work on those goals! Through motivational work and looking at your strengths, and building skills, you might just be surprised where you might be able to go with your perseverance and skills!

It’s not a goal to be the best. It’s not a strategy to be the best. It’s not a desire to be the best that's important t’s an understanding of what you can be the best at. Would you like to find out? This is a 12 week program where we develop what career you want and what you need to do to get there. It is goal oriented where you will be coached in gaining clarity and taking action.

I help clients clarify their needs rather than needs sculpted through years of compliance with a partner or spouse. The client who is confused or feels lost is asked to slow down the thinking process to get more in touch with the feeling process. This intergrates emotions and feelings and can further guide my client into a path she can be excited about. Now hope comes alive.

Choosing a career is one of the biggest decisions we make in our lives. The world is wide open. There are many possibilities, sometimes causing more overwhelm than expected. Im here to help you navigate the process of exploring possibilities, while creating a reasonable, individualized plan of action to help you get clarity and move forward with the next right step in your path of confidently choosing a meaningful career you can succeed in.
