Frequently Asked Questions

Is This Service Right For Me?

Maybe! This service is perfect for tapping into an external perspective for support and guidance with various career issues. You and your dedicated Career Coach discreetly work together to address your unique situation and priorities.

Career Coaching is optimal for motivated individuals that are ready to get serious about the issues they’re facing and don’t want to do it alone. A La Carte Sessions are inherently flexible and designed to cater to your specific needs.

What Are A La Carte Sessions?

A La Carte Sessions are open-ended. You and your Career Coach work together in a discreet and confidential manner to address any career-related issues.

What is the Process and Timeline?

Intake & Sessions

The intake process begins with an online introductory assessment to learn more about your needs. After completing the introductory assessment, your initial session is scheduled with your Career Coach at a mutually agreeable time.

Generally recommended is a one or two-week interval between sessions. This may go faster or slower, based on your needs and availability.

Homework

Between sessions you may be prompted to complete voluntary ‘homework’ such as worksheets, mental exercises, and online research to spur along your objectives.

Post Program Messaging

Post Program Messaging enables you to message your Career Coach for additional support as needed for a 30-day period after your final session concludes.

How Are Coaching Sessions Delivered?

Career Coaching sessions are offered both in person and virtually.

In-Person: Meet face-to-face with your Career Coach at 10 S. Riverside Plaza, #875, Chicago, IL 60606, in the West Loop. Enjoy private, one-on-one coaching in a professional office setting with hands-on collaboration and real-time feedback. The location offers easy access by Metra (near Ogilvie and Union Station).

Virtual: Connect with your Career Coach from anywhere in the U.S. via MS Teams. Sessions are recorded, and you receive a full video recording to review and reflect on your conversations. Virtual coaching provides the same personalized guidance as in person, with flexible scheduling and no commute required.

Between sessions, you can communicate directly with your Career Coach through written messages in the dedicated client portal.

How Long Are Sessions?

A La Carte sessions are 50 minutes each.

What are the Exercises, Guides, and Worksheets?
