What To Expect With a Shinebright Career Coach in California
Your Shinebright experience begins with an initial consultation to understand what you’re looking for and whether our coaching process is the right fit for you. For example you might want to get more clarity around your career,, find more alignment in your current role, or improve your work-life balance.

-
Strengths-based assessments (like CliftonStrengths)
-
Career exploration and discovery
-
Strategic action planning and accountability
-
Career clarity tools and decision-making frameworks
-
Access to a shared google drive of our work together, for you to keep after the process.

"Meike and her methods have genuinely reshaped my view on who I am as a person and how that relates to my professional life. She is very thoughtful and considers the emotional side of career counseling when she is with her clients. Even though I personally haven’t been able to make a career shift just yet, I do feel much more confident in knowing what works for me in relation to the kind of work I ultimately want to be doing. Meike has been supportive of that every step of the way, and I can’t recommend her enough."

" I had such an incredible experience with Shannon and Meike, far beyond what I expected! The whole process gave me so much clarity about my path and led me into a positive mindset, both personally and professionally. Aside from the career guidance, the course instilled a new confidence in me in terms of identifying my strengths and discovering more about myself. Shannon was also incredibly patient and informative in answering any questions/concerns that I had both during the course and before I officially signed up. I did the group coaching sessions, and Shannon and Meike were incredibly attentive to everyone and really took into account what we discussed every week for continued growth.
The resume writer Jessica was also fantastic- she gave some great job searching tips on our call and really took into account the points that I can highlight in my resume. Highly recommend!"

Her organized and methodical approach was instrumental in helping me identify my strengths and areas for growth.

If you’re seeking a career or life coach who can provide accountability and inspire confidence, I highly recommend working with Shannon!"
