Careers by Design – Coaching & Counselling

I was at a crossroads in my career and it was suggested by a fellow colleague to seek career coaching.
After doing extensive research, I found Careers by Design and met Lee. I was a bit sceptical at first wanting to pay for professional work not knowing what I would get out of it. I did it anyway and did not regret it.
Lee has an educational background and knows a thing or too about teaching. She employed some of her lesson plans and gave me some homework to read. She strongly advocates stress management techniques to have a clearer mind. These definitely did work for me.
Just like in a course or seminar you attend, you have to go with an open mind and a willingness to learn. I had the benefit of previously completing a leadership course. So with Lee’s sessions, it all came full circle for me.
I came out of this a stronger, more confident and relaxed individual than I was just several months ago. I am glad I met Lee and I would highly recommend her for your career counselling needs.

The most important thing to remember with any type of consulting or counselling business is that you get what you put into it.
I have worked with Lee over the past 4 months, as I was in a career rut and questioning my choice of being a creative professional.
In the shorter term, Lee taught me powerful stress management techniques that helped me feel better day to day. Once I had improved my mindset, I was able to focus on long-​term career planning and strategy.
Lee provided an invaluable third party soundboard, detached from my family and workmates, to truly help me evaluate my situation and the viability of staying put.
All told — it was by no means an easy journey — I had to take an honest look at myself, and evaluate what I was able to personally change. In the end, I got a $ 10,000 raise and a promotion.
I would highly recommend Careers by Design to any professional looking to advance to the next level in their development.
