Why a Career Coach?
The daily grind gets all of us.
We leave little time for ourselves to slow down life and think carefully about whether we are on the right path(s) or any path at all.
While we all have goals and ambitions, sometimes what we need is a sounding board, a little guidance, or the right door opened, so that we can create the life we've always wanted.

A message from Dr. Chao, who leads our Career Coaching practice. This quote below embodies her. She encountered this quote as a teenager and it continues to be by her bedside to this day.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
- Nelson Mandela, 1994 Inaugural Address
