This page describes the services I provide:

• Life Coaching & Career Coaching
• Resume Writing (package)
• Interview Coaching (package)
• Weight Loss (package)
• Sleep Improvement (package)
• Hypnosis—for habit change (package)

You do not have to be a Life Coaching client to purchase the packages. If you are currently a Life Coaching client or if you have already purchased another package, the packages are discounted (see the fee sheets for more information).

For all packages, services are non-transferable, and, because it is heavily discounted, the fee is non-refundable. For the resume-writing package, half of the fee is due at the first meeting, and the remaining portion of the fee is due before you receive the first draft of your resume. For all other packages, the fee is due at the first meeting.

I provide ongoing mentoring so you get unstuck and reach goals quicker and easier. We will schedule regular one-hour meetings, and you can expect to see results beginning as early as three to six months. Meetings are weekly or every other week, and they can be in person, on the phone, or online (Skype).

The goals we will work toward are most often something specific whose progress you can see or measure, such as dating more, finding a compatible partner, advancing your career, changing your career, or making more money. They can be smaller goals, as well, such as losing weight or quitting smoking.

Sometimes the goals can be more about feeling happier in your life; examples include wanting to be less shy and make more friends, learning to let go of workaholism or perfectionism, needing to reduce stress, or wanting to be calmer during your daily commute. As you can see, personal goals can be just about anything that you want to bring into being in your life.

My fees for Life Coaching and Career Counseling depend on how often you want to meet; email and phone coaching in between meetings are included in the fee. I teach skills for improving motivation, boosting your ability to stay focused, helping you to get a plan, and guiding you as you take action on that plan.

If you enjoy writing and marketing yourself, then I recommend a quick resume review during one of your Life Coaching sessions, and I'll edit your rewritten resume at no additional charge.

However, the problem is that many people hate to write, write slowly, or are very uncomfortable marketing themselves. This makes for time-consuming, difficult coaching for both of us!

For those people who struggle with resumes, I highly recommend purchasing my Resume Writing package for only $249! That way, we can get your resume into the hands of prospective employers fast, and then we can take more time during your Life Coaching sessions to work on skills such as relaxing under pressure and building self confidence.

My resume-writing package includes:

• A 2-hour meeting

  Relax, tell me about your work history, and I'll ask questions and take notes. As a former hiring manager for a Fortune 500 software company, I know what questions to ask and how to spot impressive career highlights.

• A professionally written resume

  As a former professional technical writer, I have a keen eye for wording, grammar, and spelling. I also bring a professional approach to style issues that aren't obvious to non-writing-professionals.

• A choice of attractive templates

  I'll have some templates from which to choose.

• Editing and fine tuning

  I provide up to 3 editing cycles for up to one month, so that we can polish and fine-tune your resume to your liking.

• Microsoft Word and/or a PDF files of your resumes

  If you use Microsoft Word, you'll be able to edit and maintain your own resume after I've completed your rewrite.

Here are some before-and-after examples of my resume-writing service:

• A collision center manager
• One resume to two: retail general manager and corporate consultant
• A manager with a manufacturing background
• A sales account executive

Do you have one or more big interviews coming up? Would you like to boost your preparation and confidence going into those interviews? If yes, then I recommend purchasing my Interview Coaching package for only $225!

Sometimes you feel reasonably confident about most things in your life, you're happy with your resume, and you don't need months of ongoing mentoring. Sometimes, all you need are two or three practice sessions in the weeks leading up to your interviews to help you to "get into the groove." Having been a hiring manager at a Fortune 500 software company and having worked on career issues with hundreds of coaching clients, I'll help put together a strategy, give you tips on how to relax, and help boost your confidence.

The interview-coaching package includes:

• 3 one-hour meetings, which you can schedule at your convenience.
• 1 strategy meeting, and 2 meetings of mock interviewing.
• "Good cop," "bad cop," "blank expression," and any other style of mock interview that will help you to prepare, and feedback about how to improve interviewing performance.
• Discussions about interviewing strategy.
• Tips for staying relaxed and focused before, during, and after interviewing.
• A copyedit of your resume.

Diets don't work. Let me repeat that: diets don't work! Insanely intense workouts don't work over the long haul, and ignoring what you're eating doesn't work, either. So, what does work?

What works is when you develop eating and activity habits that are pleasant and that fit reasonably easily into your busy schedule. As difficult as this may be to believe, you can do this without food restrictions or counting anything; instead, form new habits for eating slowly and mindfully (consciously, purposefully).

My Weight Loss package is based on a national best selling book, and it teaches you how to put these new habits in place. In addition, for one month after the last meeting, I provide you with the support you need to adjust your efforts to make sure that the weight is coming off.

For only $329 (individual meetings) or $125 (each person in a group that you put together, 4 minimum), my Weight Loss package includes:

• 4 one-hour meetings (two weekly, and two every-other-week)
• Brief check-ins between meetings (email, phone, or Skype)
• One additional month of weekly check-ins after the last meeting (email, phone, or Skype)
• A copy of the national best selling book

Your health is important. So, why not call me now at 410-949-7888 or email me today for more information about my Weight Loss package?

Poor sleep can greatly lower your quality of life, including your physical health. Many people believe that there is nothing you can do about sleep disturbance. Not true!

For only $279 (individual meetings) or $125 (each person in a group that you put together, 4 minimum), my Sleep Improvement package gives you the information and strategies you need to form powerful new habits for getting a good night's sleep. Purchasing a few sessions of hypnosis (optional) helps to quicken and deepen the results!

My Sleep Improvement package includes:

• 1 two-hour meeting to conduct a personal assessment and to provide general sleep-improvement guidelines
• 2 one-hour, weekly meetings to develop custom strategies for sleep improvement
• Brief check-ins in between meetings (email, phone, Skype)
• 1 additional month of weekly check-ins after the last meeting (email, phone, Skype)

Because most self-improvement techniques are designed to be used while awake, and because some troublesome thoughts and feelings may be happening during sleep, I highly recommend purchasing the additional two meetings of hypnosis for the fastest and deepest results.

A good night's sleep is a phone call away! So, why not call me now at 410-949-7888 or email me today for more information about my Sleep Improvement package?

We all know when we have a bad habit. Technically, we know exactly what we need to be doing differently. But it's not about "knowing." It's about being committed to doing it.

That's where hypnosis comes in! Hypnosis is a great way to deepen the intensity of your commitment when trying to change a habit; the classic examples would be quitting smoking and losing weight, but it can be applied to any habit change.

Also, I highly recommend hypnosis for people struggling with sleep-related problems (including insomnia and grinding your teeth at night), panic attacks, generalized anxiety (no specific focus to the anxiety), and people who are chronically stressed out.

For only $329 (individual meetings) or $125 (each person in a group that you put together, 4 minimum), my Hypnosis package includes:

• 1 two-hour meeting to conduct a personal asseessment and to provide a general "well being" hypnosis session (I have a few "themes" from which you can choose)
• 2 one-hour, weekly meetings for customized hypnosis sessions
• 1 additional month of weekly check-ins after the last meeting (email, phone, Skype)
