More About Joanne's Coaching -
Your Future, Your Direction

Many people use the terms "career counseling" and "career coaching" interchangeably. While there is overlap, counseling is more process-oriented while coaching is more results-oriented. In each, the counselor-coach's role, and the role of the client, are well-defined. A good counselor-coach should be able to use both sets of skills with you.

Joanne Meehl blends the two and uses a directive approach so as to keep things moving quickly. She’s task-oriented: In the words of one client, “If I wanted hugs, I’d go elsewhere. I wanted to learn how to get a great job and Joanne gets you there.” As Joanne says, Driving your career starts NOW(c). Meaning -- take control, learn what to do, do it, and you'll see the results.

In most cases, if you decide to work with Joanne, you would meet with her for several sessions either in person and/or on the phone/Skype/FaceTime. Her style is to work with a sense of urgency. You won’t stay still: You’ll have concrete assignments and due dates. Every single activity is custom-designed to help you land that new job, and sooner.

This is a process during which the client takes responsibility for his or her activity, which is as it should be because it's your search and should genuinely be about you. Coaching is not for the person who expects the coach to do the search for them. Those who partner with Joanne in this manner move more aggressively forward to their success.

Result: In a few sessions, you learn a lot about yourself in ways you hadn't before, and about your value in the job marketplace. You may decide on a complete change, you may decide on a slight shift, or you may even decide that what you're doing is exactly where you should be. And your job search is shorter and more effective, with you hitting your goals and exuding authentic confidence.
