Why I don't call myself a "Career Coach"
|
Hi Reader, The beauty of working for yourself is that you get to give yourself a job title. And I’ve always kind of struggled with this. I often hesitate for that half a second after someone asks me “What do you do?” “I’m a…coach!” I’m very proud to be a coach, my practice, and the body of work I’ve built. But putting this thing I do into a little box so that others will understand it has been a challenge for me. I like to be verbose. Paint the full picture with all the details. Show people a window into the possibilities of change this work can create. And yet, I know I only have a few seconds before I lose someone’s attention. So what do I say? A lot people call me a “career coach”. They know me as the person who can help you with your career. And I am, in a lot of cases and have helped many clients with that over the years! Except the title “career coach” had never really felt congruent to me and what I do, what I REALLY help my clients with.

These last few weeks, I've been hiding away in my lair - scheming, experimenting, and inventing! All the planning, designing, and building have come together into a fun, creative bundle of love I'm really proud of and...
Hi Reader, A few weeks ago, I was helping a friend prepare to leave their long-time job and job search for the first time in their career. Now I've helped people, especially impact professionals navigating career identity crisis, make career moves for a decade now. The opinions and advice about job searching came pouring out. I realized, "wow, I say these things ALL the time, but I've never written them down. I should do that!" So this is long overdue :) Happy to share: Lauren's Top 8 Job...
Hello friend, I hope you get exactly what you need right now. Whatever that is. What I needed was a fun conversation that continues to fight for what I believe in: disability justice. I was thrilled to join Sara Chandran, Inclusion Consultant, Communications Specialist, and Founder at Fresh & Fearless, on her podcast Out of The Office.Using The Office episode “Goodbye, Toby” (Season 4, Episode 18) as a lens, we explore disability, inclusive language, and neurodiversity in the workplace.
