OUR APPROACH
Tailored services
Every career represents a totally unique developmental process, and each individual comes to us at a unique stage of self-awareness, life experience, and readiness to make changes. As a result, we deliberately tailor our services to the special combination of skills, interests, values, wants, needs, and overall personal gifts of each individual and organization in order to make the most significant, and most personal, impact.
Mindful Approach
The Goodenough Company, Inc.’s integrated, mindful approach blends decades of career and leadership coaching with licensed family and mental health counseling, as well as in-depth, personal assessments, a diverse array of screening techniques, and strategic and tactical goal setting. We recognize the inextricable link between emotional health and career development, and we offer practical ways to help our clients work through issues and experiences from the past that might be preventing them from seeing their potential or achieving their ultimate goals.
