Breakaway Career Coaching

Today's economic climate makes strong career management essential.  There is no guarantee that your boss or your company is looking out for you and your career. Instead, you need to actively manage your career to protect yourself and ensure that you reach your personal and financial goals.

Here's how career coaching can work for you:

If your company is laying off . . . how to make sure you are well positioned to survive the cuts.

If you are out of work . . . help you to take steps to stay positive, identify your goal position, and launch an effective job search to land it!

If you feel stuck in a career that doesn't work for you . . . how to transition to a fulfilling career even during an economic downturn.

If you are not progressing in your career as you want . . . how to get recognized for your accomplishments and get positioned for that promotion!

At TMC, we start with the philosophy that the way for an individual to be most successful is to do work that they can become fully engaged in, work that they have passion for, and that is aligned with their deeply held values. This work has to fit within the larger picture of one’s life, including family, friends and other interests. Using this philosophy, TMC helps others design a career path that enables them to live authentically, doing work that they enjoy and that holds meaning for them, and finding a work-life balance that works.

At the same time, we keep people focused on the nuts and bolts of how to manage a career effectively, especially when making a career shift. Years of assessing and coaching executives have given us insight into what organizations are looking for in leaders and how they select them. Let TMC help you ace the interview and assessment process used by top organizations today!
