J.AEBI Coaching

J.AEBI Coaching was born out of my own career journey and the desire to help others find their passion and purpose in work and in life. I spent over 20 years trying to figure out "what I want to be when I grow up". I tried numerous jobs in various industries: education, nonprofit, health, administration, sales, technology, event planning, customer service. I thought the more careers I tried the more likely I'd land a job I loved (or at least tolerated). While it was a great learning opportunity, the journey led to many dead ends and left me feeling exhausted and burned out. Something had to change.

I sought counseling, read articles, took personality tests, talked to friends and family, and did a lot of soul searching. It was a lot of work, but I developed deeper self-knowledge and found my own authentic voice. I realized that the endless search to find a job "out there" was overshadowing an intrinsic drive and passion that was there all along--helping people. As far back as I can remember, friends, family and colleagues would come to me for help with personal dilemmas and professional challenges. I've been told by various individuals that they can tell me anything without fear of judgement. It eventually dawned on me that I might be able to make a living as a coach; to help people clarify their goals and figure out what's holding them back from finding fulfillment in their lives.

I enrolled in the acclaimed Co-Active Training Institute in Marin, which gave me a strong foundation for coaching, and then earned a Senior Professional Career Coach certification through the International Association of Career Coaches.

Now, I get to do what I love by helping people find a career they love!

I know from personal experience how miserable and lonely it can be to spin your wheels in the wrong career, or work in a toxic environment or have a bully for a boss. It doesn't have to be that way, and sometimes it takes an outsider like a career coach to get you back on track. Whether you're unhappy at your current company, want to pivot to a new career, struggle with a career transition, or need a little push to start your own business, I can help!

I am not satisfied until you're satisfied. I go the extra mile to ensure you are getting what you need from your career and life. For some, it could be the confidence to ask for a raise; for others, it could be moving on from a toxic boss or workplace. Every client is beautifully unique and I meet you where you are--even if you're stuck. I have exposure to many different industries and job functions, which has made it possible for me to work with a range of job seekers and I belong to a cohort of master coaches and recruiters so I am also keeping my skills and industry knowledge up-to-date.
