We are all living longer and healthier, so how will you spend your time? Not everyone wants to work, even part time or flex hours, but you can still lead a productive and exciting life doing things you haven’t even begun to discover. By assessing your interests, we will work toward your goals so that you’ll find you don’t have enough time in your day to fulfill your desires.
An encore career is for people 50 or over who have retired or plan to retire yet want or need to work, want to do something different and meaningful, or want to make a difference in a very special way. We will use specific assessments to aid you in discovering where your passion is at this time of your life.
Setting goals and following up, especially when seeking a new/different career or position, takes time and effort. If you’re anything like me, your tendency is towards avoidance and/or procrastination. However, when I work with MY coach to set up a realistic goal, the job gets done. (Case in point: I created this website!)
Tired of doing the same thing? Want a change? Not sure what to do? Well, you’ve come to the right place, since I’ve been working with people doing exactly that for over 30 years. Through a series of assessment tools, we’ll look at your values and interests and see how your skills are transferable toward those interests. Of course, we must look at some realities as well. Occasionally (but not always) it will take time to get to that ultimate goal, due to needing additional education or adding to your skill set. Each person and situation is unique.

In career transition
“Taube Weiner is an amazing career coach! When I received my Master’s degree and was ready to look for a professional position in a new field, I was totally paralyzed. Taube helped me to figure out what skills I have that are most important to potential employers. I had met with the career counseling offered at my school, which was less than helpful. After two hours with Taube, my résumé was well on its way to completion, I had a list of book suggestions, and I felt better about my value in my new field. I would recommend anyone needing a career coach to call Taube first!”
