Sue Wang Career Coaching

Career Transition with a Soul

Imagine using your goodwill, gifts, and power to realize your career aspirations. You build a worklife that is purposeful and fulfilling.

Career coaching is my first love and a specialty. I’ve long used the resume as a self-assessment tool to help clients realize the value they bring while putting their accomplishments in context. It is confidence building, and preparation for self-advocacy in the job market and workplace.

Job search or career advancement isn’t rocket science but the process can be overwhelming.

I hold space for you to process your desires and experience, promoting internal alignment and centeredness. My clients feel seen, clarified, and excited to move forward. The quest becomes easier.

Career and life influence each other. Transitions don’t happen in a vacuum. We start where you are, who you are, and what you value.

Knowing oneself is key to attracting opportunities. When you clearly communicate your why and how you can contribute, you command the attention of contacts, supporters, and interviewers.

I’ve seen time and time again, that when people are connected to the source within, positive outcomes occur. You thrive.

Sue helped me prepare for a career transition by offering me ways to figure out my own strengths and giving me tools to present them to others.
