Soon I was able to stick to a daily writing schedule and make a big move to another state that I’d been afraid of for months. Hillary is not a cheerleader — she is a fellow seeker who genuinely wants to bring out the best in people, and to do it honestly and wisely.–Caroline A., Montpelier, VT

I can’t believe that in this job market I just landed an amazing job in my field. Not only did you help me devise a brilliant strategy (and gave many effective pointers along the way); you taught me to believe in myself. –Aryenish B., Lawrence, KS
productivity coaching: overcoming procrastination, perfectionism and blocks
job search/career coaching: helping people find work, or build a meaningful and satisfying career
My coaching technique combines strategic planning with time management and anti-procrastination techniques, and helps you: (1) clarify your situation, goals, resources and obstacles; (2) create an action plan for achieving your goals; and (3) follow the plan without succumbing to procrastination or blocks.
My coaching is compassionate, yet direct and focused. I don’t beat around the bush, but tell you what I think you’re doing right (usually, more than you realize), what I think you’re doing wrong (usually, less), and how others may be influencing your situation.

Logistics and Rates
I am located in Boston but coach via telephone, so you can be located anywhere. I have coached people from throughout the U.S. and also Europe and even Australia!
I coach mainly in the mornings and evenings, including some weekend times.
Telephone coaching lets us be flexible in our meeting times, and also in our scheduling. I prefer 1.5 hour initial sessions, since they give us enough time to really delve into your situation. After that, 1 hour sessions are fine, and many clients quickly go down to 15 or 30 minute check-ins. We can also talk weekly, biweekly, monthly or at irregular intervals, as needed.
All coaching is prepaid via PayPal or check. My current rates (subject to change) are $115/hour or $475/5 hours ($95/hour). New clients can book an hour or two initially, and then the remainder of the five-hour block at the discounted rate.

Overcoming Procrastination, Perfectionism and Blocks
I can help you with these problems:
You are either not doing your work, or not doing it well.
You are not achieving important professional or personal goals.
You are working too hard, but getting too little done.
You’re not actually working that hard. Maybe you’re watching too much television, doing too much Web surfing, or doing too much busy work that doesn’t really lead anywhere.
You are giving away too much of your time to others (or causes).
You are unhappy with your present job, but not sure what to do about it.
You know the job or career you want, but don’t know how to get there.
You know the steps you should take, but can’t get motivated to take them.
You take them, but they don’t work. (I.e., you apply for jobs, but don’t get them.)
Looking for a new job? Please download my free ebook, The HIAPY Guide to Finding Work in a Tough Job Market. It outlines my job-search coaching strategy, which is to have my clients apply for a limited number of jobs with great focus, intensity and attention to detail. I can help with all application steps, including strategy, prospecting, resume writing, interview preparation and follow-up; and my aim is to have at least 25% of my clients’ applications result in interviews, and at least 25% of interviews result in an offer.
