Hi and thanks for visiting. I am a career coach who specializes in helping individuals explore their skills, strengths, and interests to create a "career by design" rather than by default. I offer services for job-seekers at any stage of their career including preparing for retirement and/or seeking a corporate board seat. Please take a moment to review my information to see if I might be able to assist you! Feel free to reach out for a complimentary consultation at julie@juliekniznik.com.
ABOUT ME
I am, and always have been, fascinated by human behavior. After earning my MBA in Organization Development from Boston College I began my career at the HayGroup, an internationally renowned Human Resources Consulting firm. I've done compensation system design, training and development, and group facilitation both at Hay and in other roles.
After taking a break to be with my family, I returned to work at ClearRock, Inc. where I spent 14 years doing career counseling and group facilitation. I now work with a wide range of individuals to help them discover how their unique talents fit with potential opportunities. My certifications/qualifications include MBTI and the Predictive Index, and I use additional tools to help reveal my clients' true passions.
I have an undergraduate degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder and am married with two grown sons. I am also a huge animal lover and have two cats and one dog - all rescues.
MY APPROACH
I believe very strongly in creating authentic partnerships with my clients, and while I provide the roadmap and guidance on this journey, my clients do the hard work of self-exploration and goal setting.
After an initial consultation to assess fit, I draft a brief Letter of Understanding which presents an overview of the services we agree that I will provide. My goal is to transfer knowledge to my clients so that they have solid tools to feel confident in their job search.
I offer my services with the understanding that my clients are investing in their professional growth. My role is to add value by sharing my expertise, interpreting assessments to help clarify a career path, preparing a competitive resume, and being a sounding board as clients navigate their way through this process.
