If You’re Starting Over

Maybe you have no idea what you want to do, or maybe you have too many ideas. One thing’s for certain: life’s too short to dread work each day. Let me help you find a better path.

If You’re Starting Out

A college education costs roughly $45,000 to $200,000. Shouldn’t you define your career path before that investment? Start out in the right direction and save yourself from years of indecision or career misery.

Be who you are and love what you do.

As an ADHD adult, it’s not just important to feel good about your work every day, it’s critical. Research shows that when a person with ADHD engages in an activity of strong personal interest their symptoms diminish.

If you’re at a career crossroads, the question isn’t what are you good at, but rather what do you love? When you know that, you can be confident in every future career decision.

  • Love showing up to work every day
  • Feel confident you are on the right path for you
  • Learn to make decisions from the inside out, not relying on what others think
  • Honor your unique brain wiring to find satisfaction and fulfillment in your work

Find Your Ideal Career in 3 Simple Steps

STEP 1: DISCOVER

Through weekly calls and homework, we’ll honestly explore options while uncovering the fields that fascinate you most, including those you thought were beyond reach.

STEP 2: DEFINE

Over the course of 4-6 months you’ll develop your Career Clarifier, a tool through which you can filter all future career decisions based on your core interests and skills. You’ll find the right path and stay on course.

STEP 3: LAUNCH

Once we’ve developed the Career Clarifier, I help you identify and take the next steps, whether that’s an informational interview, job shadowing or pursuing a degree.

What are you waiting for?

Career Coaching with Shell CAREER CLARITY + INSPIRED ACTION = RESULTS

Find a Profitable and Sustainable Career You Love!
Trained by Richard Bolles, Author of What Color Is Your Parachute, Shell’s coaching and mentoring is inspired by these concepts and through 30 plus years of achieving great results for her clients.

Why Hire an ADHD Career Coach?

There are a lot of free or inexpensive courses out there. But people with ADHD get the best results from one-on-one support. I believe that with the right encouragement and guidance, anyone can find happiness and fulfillment at work and become the person they were meant to be.

Finding success with fractured focus can be difficult.

Maybe you struggle with perfectionism or overwhelm. Or maybe you’re holding onto false beliefs about your abilities.

I can relate. I have ADHD, too.

After years as a career coach, I dedicated my practice to helping ADHD adults after my own diagnosis in 2010. Holding a master’s in counseling with an emphasis on career, I have helped more than 700 clients find fulfillment in their work over my 30+ year career. I’m also trained by Richard Bolles, author of the best-selling career book of all time, What Color Is Your Parachute?
