CAREER TRANSITION COACHING WITH A PURPOSECAREER GROWTH COACHING & CONSULTING
Career Growth Coaching and Consulting
My clients typically come to me to find a career path to increased responsibility and autonomy, an elevated job title, a switch to a different industry, a role change into or out of management or a version of any of those themes. Some are trying to decide whether they make this type of move or go out on their own to start their own consulting practice, business or start-up.
The career change is in service to their highest career goals, sense of purpose and financial security.
I act as a seasoned strategic thought partner, a career strategist, a master brainstormer, a thought-provoking question poser, and an accountability holder. You can expect to be set up for success.
This service is best suited for those who have an idea about where they want to go, are juggling an assortment of ideas and career directions, are trying to make a decision about the best path forward and need support to make it happen..
This isn’t suited for those who don’t know what they want to do next.

Here's what some of my career growth coaching clients have to say:
“I highly recommend Andrea Wedell as a professional coach. I started working with Andrea about a year ago after accepting a new and challenging role at San Jose State University. Since that time, she has helped me successfully navigate personnel issues, managing up, and building a highly effective leadership team. Andrea’s depth of experience means she quickly identifies the factors at play in any situation and then she helps me to see them too. Andrea has an ease and warmth that allow for open and honest communication, and I have learned a lot about myself through our discussions. I am definitely more confident and effective in my role as a result of our coaching relationship. ”
– Connor Hayes, Head of Product at Jumpstart
"I came to Andrea for coaching support when I was planning a significant career shift. I
wanted to not only change roles and companies as a senior leader, but also relocate
from the Middle East to California. I was deeply impressed at the amount of knowledge
she possesses on every aspect of job search strategy, from narrowing down the focus,
to writing compelling copy to attract recruiters, to leveraging my network. She’s warm,
friendly and a master at immediately understanding the task at hand. She helps you
gain clarity on what you want, where you should be focusing, and the steps to take to
get there. With just a few sessions , I know I’m on the right track and moving in a
meaningful direction for me. I strongly recommend Andrea as a career coach whether
you’re looking for a change or any level of enhancement in your career."
