"I've just lost my position....the company is providing me with transition coaching help.....but what does that mean?" 

Frequently referred to as "outplacement counseling," career transition coaching is a proven, time-tested process for assisting you in making your next successful career move. This move may be a traditional local, regional or national job search.....or launching your own business.......or proactively managing your retirement years.

We can make a real difference in your ultimate success and happiness because of our deep experience with all three strategies. Since the mid 1980's our Coaching Partners have guided over 4000 bank officers, company executives, managers and non-managers in their search for their next ideal position.  Another 6350 transitioning employees have participated in group job search workshops and all from the marketplace we know so well  (Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa, South Dakota & Nebraska). 

While your search may be national, regional or local, our outplacement service is completely paid for by your previous employer. We customize our coaching to meet your objectives and provide all the tools for your transition success.
