Who I Work With
My Coaching clients typically fall into three categories:
Client #1: "My job is no longer meaningful or fulfilling to me. I've been thinking lately that I should do something else with my life, but I don't know what. Can you help me figure out what career direction might be better for me?"
Client #2: "I think I know what I want to do with my life, but every time I think about doing something about it, I stall. How can I move forward?"
Client #3: "I feel as if my life is passing me by. I've been trying to create changes but always fall back into the old mental and emotional patterns. How can I get past them and get to the next level in my life?"
What You'll Get From Working With Me
As a coach, my role is to help you implement your vision of your ideal life. This means that the results of our work together will be highly specific to what it is that you'd like to achieve. Generally, though, here's what you can expect from working with me:
Clarity. You will have a clear understanding of your unique gifts, natural strengths, and talents, and how they can be applied to create an authentic and meaningful career path for you. You will have a clear vision of how your career fits into the larger picture of your life and what you need to do to create a better fit between the two.
Confidence. You will have confidence to trust yourself and to pursue your dream.
Motivation and Determination. You will reconnect with your internal drive and motivation to embark upon your authentic career path.
Strategy. You will have a strategy to implement your vision.
Plan of Execution. You will have a specific plan for achieving what you really want in your life.
Honest Feedback. You will have me as a sounding board for your ideas. You will also have my perspective on the challenges you are facing as you restructure your career path and how you can go about overcoming them.
Unconditional Support and Inspiration. Reaching the next level in your life requires enormous energy and persistence. You will need all the support that you can get and inspiration to get you through those days when the going is tough. As your coach, I will provide you with a wealth of both.
Tools and Knowledge. I will share all the tools and knowledge at my disposal for you take aboard and help you face problems you may encounter down the path. My objective as a coach is to make you as independent of me as possible, as soon as possible.
Greater Self-understanding. You will develop a deeper understanding of what drives and motivates you and you'll have a deeper connection to yourself and your own internal guidance.
Why Choose Me Over Other Coaches
There are many life coaches and career strategists out there. This is what makes me unique:
I am passionate about what I do. Helping people reconnect with their core passion and embark on authentic and meaningful career paths has been a consuming passion for me for the last 15 years. Why would you settle for anything less?
I have a broad set of tools and in-depth knowledge of the field. In contrast to many other coaches, I have a broad set of tools at my disposal, from psychological to holistic to spiritual. This means that we can tackle the issue at hand in many different ways and from many different angles - and do so in a way that feels true to you.
I work with a small number of clients at a time. In contrast to many other coaches, who fill up their schedules with endless appointments, I choose to work with a limited number of individual clients at a time. This allows me to give you my fullest attention, both during the sessions and in between, and to offer you a program that is uniquely-tailored to meet your needs.
I work in extended sessions. 30-minute coaching sessions may work for some, but I know that it's too short a time to reach meaningful insights or achieve real break-throughs. My sessions are up to 60 minutes in length, to make sure that we have plenty of time to delve into issues and approach solutions.
I eat my own cooking. I walk the talk. I continually work on my own personal and spiritual growth. I know what it's like to face our worst fears and overcome doubts. I have tried out every tool and every exercise I will recommend you. Only the most effective tools and solutions make a cut and get passed on to you.
I stay on top of the latest research. I continually read the latest research in the field of coaching and career change. I regularly interact and consult with other coaches and members of holistic community to make sure that I have the best tools, ideals, and approaches at my disposal.
You project stays with me at all times. Our session doesn't end once we hang up the phone. As you go on with the tasks and goals we set for you during the session, I continue to think about your project or situation. Some of my best ideas come to me while I do yoga, meditate, or take a walk. Working with a limited number of clients allows me to stay fully engaged during the sessions and in-between.
I incorporate spiritual awareness into my coaching. This means that you will be encouraged to look at every aspect of your life as part of the larger whole.
My Approach
My approach is:
Holistic. I approach career exploration and life transition from a holistic point of view, taking into account my client's vision for his or her entire life.
Strategic. I take a strategic approach to help clients design career paths that are congruent with that larger vision of their lives.
Highly Individual. Generic coaching programs and mass-marketed solutions may work for some, but when it comes to your life and your career, there are no pat answers. My work with every client is completely unique.
My Method
Coaching is equal parts art and science. On the "science" side, I rely on a set of powerful and time-honored tools to help you understand your core strengths, unique gifts, and in-depth motivations, such as the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory, Holland's career codes, and the Enneagram.
The real art of coaching, however, is in employing intuition, deep listening, empathy, and inquiry to elicit the truth that is hidden deep inside us. I believe that the most successful lives and careers are those that allow us to express fully who we are in the world. As I share my knowledge with you, I will also call upon you to begin listening to and trusting your own internal voice. As you learn to combine my coaching and advice with your own internal guidance, you will begin to see powerful results in your life.
My Story
My own search for my life's work began many years ago in a university suburb of a snowed-in Siberian city of Novosibirsk where I grew up. It was there that I faced my first career decision, and it led me to study English at one of Russia's top colleges in Moscow.
Having immigrated to the United States in 1989, I continued with the search, while earning an undergraduate degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a graduate degree from Harvard University.
My professional path has led me to manage high-profile international projects at a world-class energy consulting firm; serve as a communications director for a prominent Harvard-based symposium; collaborate on a book project with a Pulitzer Prize-winning author; and participate in the production of an award-winning PBS documentary and a current affairs show on NPR. My work also took me around the globe - from Russia to Turkey, Japan, Tanzania, Israel, and all over Europe and North America.
But the real work of my life was happening on the sidelines. It began as I discovered and immersed myself into personality psychology and became an expert in the applications of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to career exploration. I devoured books on career satisfaction. I discovered coaching and in my spare time began using its techniques in my own and others' career explorations. I realized gradually that my greatest gifts were in helping others find their own true path in life.
I also immersed myself in yoga, studying with two of this country's best teachers of the Iyengar method, Peentz Dubble and Patricia Walden. Yoga, in turn, led to the discovery of Eknath Easwaran's method of meditation, and with it, a whole body of spiritual literature I never knew existed. I also learned about the power of pure, therapeutic grade essential oils to help accelerate our journey of self-discovery and self-realization.
I have gradually added energy healing techniques to my work and am now an advanced student of Healing Touch and Reiki Jin Kei Do.
It took me years to find the courage to pursue my own dream. I have received certification from one of the country's leading coach-training schools, IPEC, and started my own business. Having finally broken through the barriers that had held me back, I know that it was worth every step of the way.
I am a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Counselor, Member of the Association of Psychological Type, Member of the International Coach Federation, Member of the Harvard Graduate School Alumni Association, and graduate of Harvard University, Master of Art.
I am in the process of completing certification as applied aromatherapy specialist with the Center for Aromatherapy Research and Education. I am Level III Healing Touch practitioner and Level II Reiki Jin Kei Do practitioner. I am pa
rt of the holistic health and spiritual community in Washington, DC and teach workshops around the country.For more information on my offerings, please visit my website, www.IzabellaTabarovsky.com.
