My approach​

​

I love people. I want to know what makes you tick. Authentic human connection, storytelling, listening and providing deep insight are the sources of joy in my life. My key role as a coach is to partner with you for positive transformational change. It is a dynamic process that involves the interaction between your environment and who you are. I provide a structure, a safe space, and support for you to achieve your desired outcomes.  Designing with you a process to best meet your needs keeps you in a fully capable position of directing your efforts and owning the results of your work. It is my responsibility to listen well, ask questions, create awareness, challenge, reveal, and hold attention to the change you want. This partnership can build on strengths and address liabilities. It can also make entirely new discoveries. It is always my intention to bring out the best in you and celebrate your wins. A successful engagement is characterized by a good “fit” between us that creates trust so can you make experience positive and transformational changes that achieve your desired outcomes.

I believe that seeking to uncover and align with our authentic selves is vital to finding and being in a job or career that is a true fit. My clients often comment on my unique ability to help them identify tangible goals with personal and professional meaning, allowing them to experience greater job satisfaction and peace of mind. I use this expertise to support their career exploration and job search coaching them in successfully presenting their best selves to key stakeholders while standing out in the crowd and ideally landing their ideal job.

 

As a career transition coach, I have helped hundreds of professionals, at various levels of their career, accelerate their career success, discover their strengths and develop their skill set. Insightful, supportive, knowledgeable, and experienced are some of the terms her clients use to describe her. I love inspiring professionals seeking fulfillment in their careers—and avenues to motivate and believe in their unique potential.

My promise to you as my client:
 

  • You will receive grounded, non-judgmental, authentic, confidential and open-minded coaching on topics you wish to explore.

  • Together, in a client and coach partnership, we will seek, find and usher in your new direction or resolution with grace and ease–and at an appropriate pace.

  • You will experience a confidential and supportive space to create opportunities for fulfillment, empowerment and transformation.​

How your journey shapes your career​

​

I would like to begin my sharing with you my story of how your journey can shape your career, and why I am moved to help people find their bliss, their sweet spot, and become empowered professionally.

​

When I was 17 years old, I was in a terrible car accident, where I suffered a traumatic brain injury, which at the time, I did not know would turn my world upside down in a completely unexpected direction. I was a regular girl planning on going to college with the desire to major in Theatre Arts and become an actress. To my surprise, starting college was also the beginning of my unique journey through the trials and tribulations of life. 

​

The first ten years after my car accident was a grueling healing process. Here I developed perseverance, determination, and blind faith. Through these incredibly challenging times, my life purpose began to reveal itself. Still trying to climb the corporate ladder to prove that the aftermath of the car accident would not beat me, I worked as a recruiter in higher education for 15 years. Apparently going to Hollywood to become an actress was not in my deck of cards. At this mark, my career transition began to unfold. Through reaching out and connecting with others, I discovered the field of career development and coaching. I found where my passion lies, and where I can utilize my true talents and strengths.

For the past several years, I have found success and results while working with a diverse population who were at the point of making a career transition either by choice or unexpected circumstances. I also continued to work in higher education where I have helped students find their career direction. I will humbly say that I have been successful over the years and have watched people transform personally and professionally; discovery how amazing they are. There are no words to describe the fulfillment and gratitude I have felt witnessing victory after victory when people did not think it was possible. The simple act on my part is believing in them, and supporting them unconditionally.

 

As a Career Transition Coach, I bring not only my professionalism but my journey, empathy, compassion, intuition, and relatability to clients. I speak from the heart. Today I share my truth. I look forward to sharing this journey together. 

I hold a Professional Coach Certification (PCC) from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and a Career Transition Coach Certification (CCTC) from Career Thought Leaders, in addition to a Master of Arts in Intercultural Relations from the SIT (School for International Training) Graduate Institute.

I have had the opportunity to work with Charmaign as my personal life coach, as well as a career coach and advisor. She was immensely knowledgeable and helpful while assisting me clarify my direction, and then create resumes and career plans. Charmaign has a caring and professional personality, but her positive outlook and connection to helping is what really defined my experience working with her. I recommend Charmaign in both roles as a Life Coach and a Career Services Provider. I learned so much partnering with her, and I got the job!
