  • 1.  Looking for career coaching recomendations

    Posted 8 days ago

    Hello all,

    I'm looking for recommendations for a career coach with experience working with professionals in museum education, arts learning, and related fields, including curriculum development, facilitation, and community-based education work.

    I've spent my career working in both school-based and museum contexts, and I'm currently reassessing next steps and longer-term directions. I'm particularly interested in working with someone who can help translate an interdisciplinary practice into a clearer professional narrative and support pathways into consulting or project-based work.

    If you've worked with someone you'd recommend, or know of coaches who are strong in this space, please share their information. 

    Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

    -Liz

    Hi Liz!

    I think it's great you're thinking about coaching a a tool to support you along your career journey. 

    There are a number of career coaches who come in and around museum work and who are working in the areas you're looking for, including:

    Alli Schell @ Your Museum Career Coach
    Elin Filbey @ Deaccessioned Coaching
    (As a bonus, check out Alli and Elin's podcast: Curate Your Career)
    Jenn DePrizio @ DePrizio Leadership 

    I also provide career, transition, exec/leadership, and conflict coaching: Kate Merrick @ Kate Merrick Coaching.

    I am sure there are other great folks out there, but thought I would give you a few places to start. Most coaches will provide a "discovery call" or an opportunity to get to know one another prior to engaging in coaching so that you can get a feel for their personality, approach, and style and get all of your questions answered.

    Wishing you the best as you figure out what's next on your path,

    Hello Kate - 

    Thank you for your encouragement AND for supplying such a great list of resources. 

    I am just starting this journey, and, as you would imagine, it is both exciting and overwhelming. I am grateful for the opportunity to consult the community for support. 

    Warmly,

    Liz

    Thank you @Kate Merrick, I appreciate the shout out :) 

    Liz, As someone who left museums after over 25 years in musuem education, and turned coach and consultant, I can relate to what you're going through. It is exciting and scary. I made it through with the support of colleagues and a coach. I would love to learn more about you and your work. Let me know if you'd like to set up a call.

    Best of luck as you navigate this phase, Take care, Jenn

    Hi Liz

    I can also recommend Greg Stevens at Purple Cow. He has been working in this arena for several years and did several career mentoring sessions at AAM last month. https://purplecowcareers.com/

    My good friend Katherine Krile is starting out and offering a deal as she works to get her hours in. She's very good, and has decades of experience as a museum professional herself. https://www.linkedin.com/in/katherine-k-21b94513/
