Foundations Coaching Package: Build Your Career on a Strong Foundation

Comprehensive coaching for ambitious professionals with fewer than 5 years of work experience.

At Daymark Career Coaching, we work with smart, ambitious people who want to solve problems that matter.  Decisions you make early in your career lay the foundation for opportunities with big impact.  If you have less than 6 years of work experience  and you want to take control of your career development, our Foundations Coaching Package is for you.

Most of our clients have talent, drive, and work ethic.  If only professional success were as clear as academic achievement, you’d be at the top of your class.  Instead, you need to navigate ambiguous standards, personalities and office politics, and unclear expectations.  You probably weren’t taught the frameworks, rubrics, and skills that will matter most in building a strong professional foundation.

I hate to see talented people feel intimidated or overwhelmed.  What you need is a clear path to guide your decisions and actions.  I’ve been helping smart people achieve professional goals for more than 15 years.

You’ll learn the 5 key steps in any career transition – whether you’re trying to improve the role you’re in, to get promoted, or to jump to a new organization. Through clear homework assignments, you’ll reflect on your goals and value proposition to employers, learn essential skills, and get a toolkit of frameworks, templates, and checklists to carry out your action plan.  These will give you the confidence you need to navigate your career path with clarity and purpose.

Meet your Instructor, Sherry Mason

I’m a warm and rigorous coach with nearly twenty years of experience coaching smart people.  Most people don’t learn the step-by-step process for aligning work with their values and goals.  I’ve thought about that for years, and I love sharing what I know.  The exercises I’ve developed and the tools, templates and frameworks I’ve created have helped hundreds of clients feel more confident about their career decisions. 

When smart people like what they do, we’re all better off.  Solving interesting problems with colleagues who value you will make you happy and effective — at work and outside of it.  I want you to flourish.  

One-on-one coaching is a special relationship.  I strive to earn the trust of my accomplished clients by reading broadly and deeply, and offering logical, empathetic, and candid feedback.  I’ll always respect you and support your wisdom, potential, and growth.
