True or false: Career coaching is only for people figuring out which major to take or which job to choose.
Answer: False
Career coaching is a lot more than exploring education and job options.
- It’s about discovering where your innate talents and interests intersect.
- It’s about expanding your options across multiple industries.
- It’s about making sure the job you think you want is the one that best fits your life choices and your family.
- It’s about figuring out and negotiating the salary you really want and need.
- And it’s about fulfillment, joy, and satisfaction.
I want people to know you really can secure a dream job where you feel excited to get up and go to work every day. With a bit of exploring and guidance, it’s so very possible.

But, if you’re working in a job you love that pays a salary you’re proud of and your family is thrilled, then yeah, you can probably skip career coaching.
Probably.
