Dog is my CoPilot:  How to Navigate from the Passenger Seat When Career Counseling or Coaching
     When you drive in unfamiliar territory, it helps to have a GPS system – providing navigation with reaching a destination.  Before embarking on any journey, career            
     counselors and coaches help their clients understand that while they may not be able to become anything they want to be, the can certainly be a lot more of who they already
     are. The focus of this presentation is to provide the career client the unique perspective a counselor or coach can bring using a strengths based approach.

 Career Coaching Using Two Coaching Strategies
     This workshop will cover the use of two coaching strategies – the “Wheel of Life and “Coaching on the Line” to assist clients with making career choices.  Attendees will
     learn how to utilize both of these tools as well as their application to assist a client with a career choice.  These tools have multiple uses with high school students and adults in
     any setting.  Using them creates an interactive approach that allows clients to become actively involved in the decision process and to move past blocks they may have to
     making decisions.  They facilitate the client to evaluate various career options as well as visualize what it would be like to move forward with a decision. 

     Presenter: Sharon Ipes, Achievement Coach, Central New Mexico Community College

     clients/students with the essential information needed for career, academic, and employment development.
