Tiffani has over 10 years of experience in career counseling and 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 took effort 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 has bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Southeast Missouri State University. Her work in the public sector (government) coupled with her experience in human resources enables her to bring a clear understanding of the inner workings of many industries to her role at Create Your Career Path. Her connection to science remains strong and provides an additional advantage to clients in fields such as engineering, medicine, research, conservation, and technology.
Tiffani’s coaching style is a combination of a holistic and “big picture” approach to counseling. She encourages her clients to explore their past and present work experiences in order to help guide them to their future. This “big picture” approach ensures that the client addresses every challenge they face, and Tiffani makes effective use of her personal experience, knowledge, and compassionate nature to help her clients take a step back to allow them to broaden their focus. She has extensive experience working with mid-level and executive-level professionals and has also helped clients move into executive-level positions.
Tiffani also strives to coach the entire person, not just a small part. Changing careers is about so much more than just acquiring a new job title. There are many aspects of the process that affect various parts of a client’s life in both positive and negative ways. Tiffani provides support where it’s needed, even if that doesn’t fall into the traditional scope of “career coaching.”
Tiffani is a huge advocate for the use of the StrengthsFinder assessment, and Holland’s six personality types as they relate to the work environment to help clients discover their true career path. She guides her clients through this discovery process to aid them in better understanding their wants and needs in the workplace.
