I coach people out of feeling stuck or directionless to gain clarity about their best selves and how to get there; on your podcast, I can show what coaching in action looks like!

I am the founder of From Seed to Bloom, where I coach professionals who are feeling just okay with the status quo but wanting something more/seeking how to get to the next level, or feeling stuck, and seeking a career that is more aligned. My journey to coaching stems from my own career transitions. I have a professional coaching certificate through Case Western. I started From Seed to Bloom with the idea that taking a small step in your development is like planting a seed. Over time and with consistent nurturing, this can bloom and grow into a new identity. My coaching approach is rooted in understanding a client’s values and the picture they have of their ideal future. From this launching point, I work with the client to create a tailored plan, moving from their current state to their desired future state. I provide a safe space for introspection and accountability. After 1 or 2 sessions, clients have greater clarity on who they want to be. They begin to shift from a mindset of feeling powerless to recognizing their agency. Over time, clients experience a strong sense of purpose and practices that serve their goals, and ultimately, a version of themselves that they are proud of. Outside coaching, I’m a project manager at a medical device company. I’m based in New Jersey. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, photography, hiking, and going to museums! I also have a podcast called “Service in Practice,” and started it with no previous experience in media or sound editing. Success stories I helped a student walk through two equally enticing job offers with non-monetary pros and cons, ultimately leading to his decision on an offer that he is extremely happy with. He tells me often that if he had chosen the other option, he would have been unhappy I helped a stay at home mom that was taking A career break really discover her passion and lifelong career dream that had been put on back burner. Through our coaching sessions, she practiced interviewing skills and grew from feeling rusty to being confident in her ability to articulate what she brings to the table I guided an entry-level professional through the process of an internal job change across the country and out of a work environment that previously drained her. The result was a role more aligned to her skillset and a job culture congruent with her values Visit my website: fromseedtobloom.com/testimonials Visit my LinkedIn page: linkedin.com/in/karenayoub
