Your 20s are full of possibilities:
new choices, exciting opportunities

And with that, often a bit of confusion about whether your decisions are the right ones.

Whether you’re diving into college, starting your first job, or thinking about changing careers, figuring out your path can feel like a lot. Coaching gives you the space to hit pause, explore your options, and focus on what really matters to you.

Together, we’ll look at what lights you up—what kind of work makes you feel alive, purposeful, and allows you to do your best work.
From there, we’ll explore your values and help you identify what to look for in a company, so you can make choices that feel right. Let’s get curious about your future and make it something you’re
excited about!

Stories From Young Adults & Parents

As a neurodivergent person, Colleen was the perfect fit to coach me through my career goals ... Colleen’s vulnerability and her positive energy created a psychologically safe environment … I was able to create goals and break them into achievable pieces, and create micro-habits to sustain progress.

Colleen’s coaching style makes you feel like she is really there to help you achieve your goals and never pushing you in a certain direction but helping you identify what you truly want.

I had the pleasure of working with Colleen on my journey to discovering a new career path … We identified my specific strengths and passions, and used that to create a vision for my ideal career. This resulted in a complete career re-invention and an increase in salary by 30%.

I learnt so many different life skills like time management, confidence, decision making, and many more. I really enjoyed the way everything was explained and how supportive Colleen was. I handle stressful situations so much better and am very glad to have the chance to work with Colleen.

Colleen's Approach

Supporting others to discover the approach to work that makes them come more fully alive is an absolute JOY! Everyone deserves to feel good about the work they do.

I believe in starting slow to go fast—taking the time to really understand why you’ve stepped into coaching and what you’re looking to achieve. We’ll dive into understanding what lights you up, what might be holding you back, and figure out what can fuel your success. My coaching is grounded in trust, curiosity, and the belief that you are smarter, braver, and more capable than you might think.

I strive to ensure you leave every session feeling capable to take on the rest of your week. Together, we’ll make the tough stuff less scary and the good stuff even better.

Questions I get from young adults & parents:

Young Adults

What will we work on?

In our 1:1 sessions, we’ll explore where you’re at in your journey—whether it’s finding your dream career or identifying company cultures that align with who you are. I’m here to help you find what type of work lights you up and allows you to do your best work.

Using tools like the Working Genius model and the Sparketype Assessment, we’ll dive deep into what makes you tick, and how you can use that knowledge to make decisions you’re excited about in your life and career.

How many sessions will we have?

We’ll kick things off with a 6-session coaching package.

Our first session—around 75 minutes—gives us lots of time to set goals and get to know each other. The next five sessions are 50-60 minutes each, all done over Zoom.

We’ll aim to wrap up the 6 sessions within 12 weeks. And if you ever need a quick check-in or have a question between sessions, I’m just a text or email away.

How is this different from career counselling?

Career counselling often focuses specifically on job searches, resumes, and career placement. Coaching takes a more holistic approach, looking at the whole you—your goals, values, and what excites you. We’ll look beyond just “what job do you want” and explore what type of work feels meaningful to you.

What if I don't have a clear direction yet?

That’s completely okay! Coaching is especially helpful when you’re feeling uncertain or stuck. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start—actually, that’s the point of coaching. Through our sessions, you’ll learn more about yourself, discover new possibilities, and start to see a path forward that feels right for you. It’s all about helping you find your way, at your own pace, withour any pressure to have the answers right away.

Parents

How can coaching help my grown kiddo?

Coaching creates a space for your child to explore their career goals, and develop their self-awareness, confidence, and decision-making skills. It provides a structured, supportive space where they can learn more about themselves without pressure. The skills they learn in coaching will help them make more informed decisions and take ownership of their future.

How involved can I be in the coaching process?

Coaching sessions are private and confidential, allowing your child to explore their thoughts and feelings openly. While the specifics of the sessions remain confidential, you’ll likely see positive changes in their mindset and how they approach life’s decisions. Colleen can provide general updates on progress, focusing on the positive changes your child is making and how they’re engaging with the process. She also wants to hear from you, as a key supporter in their life.

How will I know if coaching is working?

You’ll notice coaching is working when your child starts taking more initiative, makes decisions with more confidence, and begins to articulate their goals and challenges more clearly.
