Our Coaching Institute Graduates
Name: Karen Cross
 Your previous job:
Employment counseling agency
How long did you work there?
4 years
What was your position?
Employment Counselor
When/why did you decide to learn coaching?
After I had been there for 3 years, I felt my career had plateaued somewhat and I was no longer growing and stretching in the same way. I started exploring coaching as a direction to take my career.
What symptoms did you have that prompted this career change decision?
Not feeling as inspired about my work as I once had, wanting to do something new, not feeling as energized as I had been in the past, not the same level of passion for my career as in the beginning, and just a general feeling of wanting something more.
What skills now benefit you and/or your company?
I have an ability to listen at a deeper level and I have the ability to help people move forward to achieve their goals very quickly. For me, coach training has meant having a heightened sense of awareness of my own reactions and how to shift my perspective quickly.
What do I do as a coach?
I work with sole proprietors and small business owners effectively manage their time and energy level, boost their productivity without feeling busier or compromising the quality of what they do, and get focused by taking consistent action to achieve their goals and create greater success in their business and life.
Any other comments or examples you want to mention regarding how your training at The Coaching Institute has changed/benefited your life and/or career and those around you?
Coach training at The Coaching Institute has challenged me in new ways. It has taught me to look inside and trust in my abilities more. It has asked me to grow and stretch in amazing and dynamic ways. It has rocketed my career to new, unimaginable heights. I am not the same person I was before coach training - I am the new and improved version
