Hi, I'm
Cathy
Goodwin, Ph.D.
As a
career consultant, I partner with midcareer
professionals who are facing just THREE types of career challenge Some want to
consider moving to a whole new arena, such as starting a new
business. Others just
want to return to school as a student, teacher or professor. Still others want to relocate geographically or take a job that requires a geographic move.
Here's why I've specialized in these 3 areas (and how you can benefit):
I've published a book about relocation and have been recognized as an "expert" on the psychological aspects of relocation -- the part that's not about packing a box and loading the moving van.
I spent 20 years as a college professor (and almost as many as a student). So if your career calls for a return to school, or you're considering an academic career for yourself, I'm one of the few sources with the experience to help.
I've been working on my own and understand the fears and very realistic concerns that you should have before venturing into working on your own.
My approach combines life experience, research, and my own unique brand of irreverence. About 1/3 of my work comes from previous
clients. They call me for a second, third or
fourth
round of follow-up consulting -- 3 months, 6 months, even 2 years
after we begin. I'm honored that they remember me as their careers grow
and change...and continue to believe our work together is genuinely
helpful.
