Career Coaching

Wondering if it’s time to move on in your career or switch to a completely new one?
Trying to figure out how to infuse fun, lightness, dare I say, joy in what you do?
Feeling lost but clear on what you don’t want?

Yup, I get it. Let’s do something about it!

Book an information session or e-mail me at jo@jorodrigues.net

We work on getting clear about what you ideally want out of your career and life. We also explore and address underlying issues which have consistently stopped you from achieving what you want and how you want to feel.

As a result, we will know what you’re willing to compromise on and what’s a deal-breaker. This will focus the job search and decrease feeling overwhelmed or anxious.

Next, we build and start to implement a strategy to help you transition to the next stage of your career. This includes identifying and implementing next best actions and strengthening your ability to market yourself in a way that feels authentic and is successful.

We’ll figure out what works about the strategy and what requires tweaking. I will set you up to move forward with this strategy feeling clearer and confident about your intentions. You’ll have the tools and skills needed to successfully find a role that meets your expectations and is aligned with your values. 

This package is not about the quick fix and it’s not about having a checklist of things to do. It’s a holistic, paced approach customized to meet you where you’re at. 

Package Info

This package consists of 6 sessions.*

The first 3-4 sessions are spent discovering, brainstorming and uncovering what’s working and what’s not working. 

The remaining sessions are spent putting together a strategy and beginning to implement it. This may include improving how you market yourself for jobs, learning how to strategically network or enhancing your skill set to self-advocate when it comes to your perspective, your wants, needs and your boundaries. These sessions give us time to try and adjust the strategy so it feels manageable and aligned with your values.

* Because we may uncover some blocks or challenges that require more time to address or we gain new insights on how you want to move forward – which may be different from your initial intentions – we may decide to add more sessions. 

What’s Included

When you purchase a package of 6 sessions you get: 

  • Six 1-hour coaching sessions 
  • Session summary notes (key takeaways + short homework assignments)

My approach

My coaching approach combines neuroscience, somatic practices, and problem-solving.  It’s trauma-informed and survivor-centred. I apply a feminist, intersectional lens and my conflict resolution experience. 

Added Benefit

One thing my clients appreciate about my coaching is that I can relate to their circumstances in a way coaches without a background in humanitarian aid and international development can’t. 

I understand the commitment to the work, the challenges, what makes it rewarding, what makes it toxic and why, in spite of this, people continually choose to work and stay in these fields. It’s not simply a job, it’s something more.

Testimonial
Jo’s questions are helping me through a process of gaining clarity about what I do and don’t want– to see the bigger picture. What I like best about her approach to coaching is the support to realize that I am empowered in the process of a career change! I definitely recommend giving coaching a try– I already referred two of my friends!
