Career Coaches

(University of Illinois at Chicago: M.A. Communication; Vanderbilt University: B.S. Communication) Hallie and her coaches are certified career coaches, program leaders and resume writers and have been coaching and training since 2002. Hallie received a master’s degree in Communication from the University of Illinois at Chicago, a bachelor’s degree in Communication from Vanderbilt University, and earned her certification as a CPCC (Certified Professional Co-Active Coach) from the Coaches Training Institute, one of the most well-known, highly regarded and first coaching schools established. She is the founder of Create Your Career Path, a boutique career coaching firm based in Atlanta that helps professionals find their dream jobs.

Her coaches are passionate about helping others because they took the same journey to find their own satisfying careers. They know firsthand the challenges that arise during career transition and, using their trademarked Ideal Career Model, have practical solutions to make the career change process successful. With over 1,500 success stories, Create Your Career Path helps professionals find jobs that make them want to jump out of bed in the morning to go to work.

As an experienced career coach, Tiffani views the dreaded “career shift’ as a positive choice, one that will ultimately bring more fulfillment and a greater sense of achievement to those who pursue it. When she made her own shift years ago, it was certainly a struggle…but she persevered. Today, Tiffani knows that if she hadn’t been faced with the unpleasant realization that her career wasn’t going where she wanted it to, she might never have found her true calling as a career coach.

Tiffani earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biology/natural science from Southeast Missouri State University. She has worked in the public sector (government) as well as higher education and brings a clear understanding of the inner workings of both arenas to her role at Create Your Career Path. Tiffani’s coaching style is a unique combination of a holistic and “big picture” approach to counseling. She also strives to coach the entire person, not just a small part. Tiffani provides support where it’s needed, even if that doesn’t fall into the traditional scope of “career coaching.”
