Claire has an amazing talent of understanding the very specific in a given situation, thus being able to coach and guide you in the direction which afterwards can appear obvious – but before coaching not reachable.

Too Many Passions? The Benefits of a Varied Work Life
Jeff is nearing age 50 and has followed one passion after another into a variety of careers. Although each choice made perfect sense to him, his family and friends keep telling him to stay put in one profession and rise higher.
That old saying: Jack-of-all-trades, master of none! reveals the bias against those who choose a varied work life rather than committing to a unidirectional path. There was a time, however, when society admired such a person. In fact, some of our greatest contributors have been talented in a variety of areas.
Leonardo da Vinci, painter of masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa, also designed and built bicycles, canals, musical instruments and flying machines. Benjamin Franklin not only helped draft the Declaration of Independence, he was also an inventor, statesman, printer, scientist, author, and student of French culture and language. More recently, Maya Angelou, best known as an author and poet, is also a successful songwriter, journalist, actress, singer, dancer, civil rights worker and professor. And she speaks eight languages!
Starting Your Own Business
Lost your job during the economic meltdown and want to make sure that doesn't happen again?
Looking for more meaning and satisfaction in your work?
Want to be the one who decides how successful you are?
Got a great business idea burning inside you?
If any of those apply to you, you may be thinking of starting a business of your own. And though you may have a great deal of excitement, it pays to pause to consider whether entrepreneurship is really for you.

The following questions are designed to broaden perspectives, to open vistas, to widen the lens. There is no one right way to approach them. You can journal about them, talk to friends, create art, ponder them while driving, work out to them--whatever helps you explore "outside the box."
- How do you fit the "Renaissance Soul" profile?
- How does your work suit your nature?
- How many of your core values are fulfilled in the work you do?
- If you are considering starting a new business, what do you need to be that you aren't quite yet? And what do you need to have?
Are you good at what you do...
AND ...
- Want to take your career to the next level but you can't think how to go about it?
- Want to make your mark in your current role but you simply can't figure out why all your achievements are going un-noticed?
- Feel demotivated and unfulfilled but you have no idea how to break out and change things?
I currently have TWO spaces available for one to one personal development coaching.
