Curious about your career progress? Striving to bring your best self to each day? Facing specific challenges you want to conquer? Ready for change but unsure where to start? Feeling held back from achieving personal or professional fulfillment? Unsure if you're on the right path?

Hourglass Coaching - Baltimore is here to guide you through these questions and beyond. Your coach partners with you to unlock the insights you already hold, shifting perspectives and moving you toward your desired outcomes. After all, you're the expert in your own journey.

My coaching methodology is strategically designed to support professionals across various career stages and unique circumstances through three distinct coaching frameworks:

Short-Term Coaching (Fixed Goal Approach) - 6 sessions or less:

  • Ideal for entry-level professionals seeking targeted, specific outcomes

  • Focuses on discrete, measurable objectives

  • Provides concentrated support for immediate professional development needs

  • Typically involves a condensed timeline with clear, predefined milestones

  • Helps early-career professionals gain rapid traction and confidence

Long-Term Coaching (Multiple Goal Strategy) - 6 sessions or more:

  • Designed for professionals navigating complex career landscapes

  • Addresses interconnected goals across extended periods

  • Creates comprehensive development plans with layered, progressive objectives

  • Allows for strategic skill building and holistic professional growth

  • Provides ongoing support and recalibration as career aspirations evolve

Crisis Coaching (Immediate Action Framework) - as needed sessions:

  • Tailored for professionals experiencing significant workplace or career challenges

  • Offers rapid, focused intervention during critical transitional periods

  • Develops immediate action plans to stabilize and redirect professional trajectory

  • Provides intensive support for executives and professionals during high-stress transitions

  • Focuses on emotional resilience, strategic thinking, and decisive action

Each coaching approach is meticulously crafted to meet the unique needs of different professional profiles:

Entry-Level Professionals:

Benefit from structured guidance, skill development, and strategic career launching

Professionals in Flux:

Receive comprehensive support navigating complex career transitions

Executives:

Enhance emotional intelligence, leadership capabilities, and strategic vision

My coaching philosophy recognizes that professional development is not one-size-fits-all. By offering these flexible coaching models, I can provide personalized, targeted support that meets professionals exactly where they are in their career journey, helping them transform challenges into opportunities for growth and success.
