We don’t directly bill to insurance, however, many of our clients do submit their session receipts. Individual insurance plans vary and it’s important to check in advance of your consultation if you have cove age for the specific provider you are scheduled with.
You can imagine we get asked this question all of the time. Sometimes it takes months, and in some cases, clients are able to secure employment in under a month. It highly depends at the stage that someone is entering into the process and the extent to which they are considering a career overhaul. Some individuals want help with phase 1 only and others only require support with phase 3. We generally work with clients at a minimum of 6 sessions.
We understand its common to feel anxiety and feel in need of immediate answers. We don’t provide a list of careers you would be good at because jobs titles and options are multiplying each day. We take a guided research model where we provide exercises and tools to help with brainstorming career options (for example, using AI, LinkedIN searches and strategic networking).
We ask in one of your first sessions how much time outside of your session you have to devote to this work. Ideally, we would like to see 2-3 hours between each session, but this includes networking, listening to podcasts an exercises assigned during your session.
At this time, all of our sessions are virtual. It allows us to support clients across the province of Ontario as well as other provinces where our practitioners are located.

Professional networking platforms like LinkedIn can provoke feelings of negative comparison or come with pressure to create the ‘perfect’ page. This pressure may be why imposter syndrome tends to play out when it comes time to join, post, or update your page.
One of the questions I ask all new clients struggling with public speaking anxiety is, “do you feel like you need to conceal this problem?” The answer is almost always yes. People usually talk about the judgment they anticipate having to face—the kind that can result in pity, discomfort, negative evaluations and even demotions.
Many people have butterflies when getting up in front of a crowd. However, people with public speaking anxiety feel these jitters on another level. A racing heart, shaking palms, sweating, dry mouth, lightheadedness, or nausea can all be byproducts of the panic and dread associated with this kind of fear.
When our body is busy fending off panic and adrenaline, our thinking is less clear. It’s harder to concentrate, and we’re less likely to perform at our best. Research on social anxiety suggests that this is exactly what ends up happening: when we’re anxious, we perform poorly compared to our non-anxious peers.
Bridging the gap between where you are now and where you’d like to be is easier when you can unpack, dissect, and be curious about why you’re feeling scared
It’s not that goal-setting needs to go out the window, rather we might want to alter our approach. It requires being agile, perhaps modifying our definitions of achievement and focusing on what I call “activity goals”.
The personal compass is a soul map, personal blueprint and self-made guide to help you gain clarity on how you want to feel in your life. This kind of soul work is needed to do the goal work in our lives.
One of the most powerful things we can do for ourselves in the pursuit of living an intentional life is getting clear on how we want to feel. You’ve probably noticed many people selecting words of the year right now, which I’m all for, but they don’t help us with the ‘how’ or the discovery of how we feel when we feel at our best. In this exercise, you get to review a list of over 100 feelings to create your top 5 words, deep-seated, transformative feelings so you can simplify your life.
When you’re feeling overwhelmed or the effects of performance anxiety nothing feels more soothing than having a simple and supportive emotional toolkit of mindfulness practices to choose from.
Fear less, not fearless: Why accepting our fear of public speaking is the pathway to personal success
When we meet for the first time, most of my clients say their goal is to totally extinguish their fear of public speaking. However, this not only sets you up for black and white thinking—’either I get rid of my public speaking fear, or I don’t!’—it also makes the goal less attainable and reinforces the idea of the fear being a ‘bad’ thing.
