Certified Professional Coach |
Business and Career Strategies for Individuals with Asperger's, NLD and
Other Social Communication Challenges
Whether you are seeking employment or want to change your job or develop your career, coaching can help you create satisfying work that makes the most of your talents, interests, and natural strengths.
Together, we establish your goals and devise a step-by-step action plan for achieving them. We clarify your skills and abilities and explore how to make the most of strengths such as analytic ability, logical thinking, attention to detail, memory for facts and data, creativity, tenacity, honesty, and focus. We also develop practical strategies for addressing challenges and limitations so that you can continue moving forward toward your goals.
Coaching sessions are customized based on your individual needs, and can include career exploration, role playing, skills practice, video feedback, and the development of situational protocols and scripts. There will also be mutually-agreed upon assignments for you to complete between meetings so that you can continue making positive progress.
Coaching Helps You Develop Your Skills In...
- Communication: learn how to effectively interact with supervisors, co-workers, and customers. Become better able to present yourself and your ideas, recognize and respond to the non-verbal cues of others, understand and use appropriate body language, give and receive feedback, and more.
- Interviewing: learn and practice techniques for presenting your skills and experience in the best possible light, responding to questions, dressing for success, closing the interview on a high note, and following up.
- Organization and Time Management: develop strategies for planning and organizing your work day, prioritizing tasks, keeping track of commitments, staying on schedule, dealing with interruptions, and staying focused.
- Stress Management: learn effective techniques for calming anxiety, diffusing anger, managing conflict, dealing with sensory overload, and other stress-related issues.
