Do you dread Mondays? Do you feel like you're stuck in school, waiting for the bell to ring so you can do what you really want to do? Do you live for weekends? Does every day at work seem like an eternity?
Or maybe things aren't that bad. Maybe your job is okay, but it isn't what you want to do for the rest of your life. Maybe you feel like your talents are being used to the fullest. Maybe you feel invisible, that you or your talents go unrecognized and undervalued. Or you want to do something more meaningful, that will make a bigger impact on the world. Maybe you have dreams you want to pursue, and this job just isn't going to let you do that.
Or maybe things are worse, much worse. Maybe there is a lot of office politics, gossip, and back-stabbing. Maybe you feel micromanaged, controlled, harassed, maybe even bullied. You never know when you're going to get into trouble for something, maybe even fired. The daily grind is more like daily torture.
If any of these scenarios describe your situation, don't stay stuck! You have unique gifts and abilities, and you will do better in work that is a good match for your personality, values, and interests. But how do go about finding that?
Let me help you figure out your first steps. I've created a free guide and an accompanying mini-course to help you get unstuck and started on your path to greater work satisfaction.

My session with Gwen was great! In one hour she helped me go from a place of not knowing what my next step was to clarity of what to do next to make changes in my business. Thank you, Gwen!"
In working with Gwen, I've discovered that it is very important to express problems/issues/concerns to others in order to make sense of the "crisis".
I was just reflecting on the last couple of years and so much has changed. You were a huge part of the positive aspects of that change, and I cannot express how grateful I am to you.
Coaching was a wonderful experience for me. Each session was like a pleasant vacation from my hectic life to self-reflect with someone insightful and trustworthy who offered support and advice.
Gwen offered herself as a sounding board for my personal goals and dreams. She challenged me to answer my own questions, but in a gentle and supportive way. She always made me think harder than I had before and always seemed to have the greatest questions and perfect timing for asking them. I started to draw connections that I never had before. I felt very comfortable with Gwen and it was very easy to open up to her. Gwen demonstrated great support and encouraged a sense of self-confidence in me that I had not felt before.
Overall, coaching was a life altering experience and instrumental to my personal growth. It also helped me get through a difficult period of questioning my life's direction and purpose.
