Professional Development and Transition Coaching

One of Joel’s primary professional specializations is in the area of professional transition coaching. Working with clients based in San Diego, Newport Beach and nationally Joel provides a well developed and benchmarked protocol for helping professionals who need or want to move from their current professional space and land successfully at a new professional destination.

Transitions take many forms. Some professionals who have already achieved certain goals still want to pursue meaningful, remunerative work, whether it’s in their primary professional area, or whether it’s the fulfillment of something else they’ve always wanted to do, and have been passionate about and now have the opportunity. Other professionals are facing challenges in their current professional environment and want to make a change to a different job in the same sector or potentially move into an adjacent professional segment or a totally different career field. Joel coaches these professionals to help them achieve the change they are contemplating, and helps them insure success in the next chapter of their professional future.

However, many of the professionals Joel coaches are not contemplating a transition but simply want to get more out of their current position and work. In this context, Joel helps these professionals solve complex work challenges which are impacting their engagement and fulfillment in their current job as well as helping them examine the arc of their professional career in terms of how their current work is related to where they want to go professionally, what they ultimately want to achieve, and the life they want to build for themselves and their families.
