Career Development Coaching
Unlock Your Career Potential With Ama La Vida
What if instead of waiting for the right opportunity, you could take control of your own career growth trajectory starting right now?
Or, how about this…
What if you could learn a proven method for career development plans that will give you the skills to be proactive in creating career growth opportunities for yourself that fit what you actually want and need? (Yes, even if you have a bad boss.)
Want to know how?
Our approach is a comprehensive career development coaching program and eCoaching toolkit that will support you every step of the way to create a concrete plan that will help you build on your current skills and make real progress toward your goal career.
What does this all mean?
You don’t have to wait around for a magical fairy-god-boss to move your career forward. Take back the power by being proactive in your career development.
Life is unexpected. No matter what comes your way, having a strong foundation for your career and proactively managing it allows you to create a life in which you lead, rather than being at the mercy of your leadership team. Don’t let others determine your career development.
It’s time to take the lead in your career and your life.
Imagine feeling in control of your career path on your own terms, without compromising who you are at your core.
Imagine a life where you can…
- Move up the career ladder and reach that job title you’ve been dreaming of
- Do work that matters to you: work that matches your interests and that you enjoy
- Gain new skills and education that excite and inspire you
- Make more money and live comfortably
- Have better boundaries with work and your personal life so you can spend with the people you love and hobbies you enjoy
HERE’S THE THING
You know that in order to take control of your career on your own terms, you need an action plan to take the reins of your career development and look past your short-term goals.
BUT WHAT IF YOU…
- Have bad bosses or uninspiring leaders in your current position
- Crave career options beyond your job description
- Lack a clear vision in your career, let alone a career development plan
- Aren’t sure what careers are available to you or what companies match your interests
- Feel like an outsider or don’t fit in with other employees in your industry
- Are bored in your current role and position
- Lack confidence from past experiences
- Feel that your current career path doesn’t align with how you desire to live
Sound familiar?
If you want to learn the ins and outs of taking the reins of your career development, we’re here to help.

WHAT IS THE CAREER EMPOWERMENT TOOLKIT?
Unlike other professional development programs, our Career Development Coaching is based on our proven Career Empowerment Toolkit online course.
We’ve designed a comprehensive program that goes far beyond a simple career development plan template to help you navigate taking the reins of your career path and career development planning in 5 pillars:
Pillar 1: Crafting A Vision
Determine what career success truly means to you. It’s easy to feel lost and unsure of your career path when you’re not sure what you’re career goals are. That’s why we’re here to help you craft a clear and inspiring vision of your future as the foundation for your career planning. Let’s face it, no amount of career exploration will help you reach your goals if you don’t know what you want or what interests you.
We believe that your job is a resource to serve your life, not the other way around. By defining what’s important to you and how your job can help you achieve your goals, you’ll be empowered to create a fulfilling and purposeful career plan.
Pillar 2: Creating Career Alignment
An effective career development plan starts with your skills, dreams, and priorities at the very center and uses it to create a detailed action plan you can use to meet your long-term goals. Once you have an actionable plan for your professional life, learn the steps to take control of your career path and create alignment between your chosen career vision and reality.
We’ll guide you through a gap analysis process of identifying areas where you may not be honoring your boundaries or utilizing your strengths to their fullest potential. Through a series of practical exercises, you’ll learn how to set time-bound, short-term goals that are the preliminary steps to bring you closer to the career and life you envision for yourself.
Pillar 3: Showing Up
A Harvard Research Study indicates that being yourself at work will not only make you happier, but also up to three times as successful!
Yes, that’s easier said than done. We’ll teach you to develop a deep self-awareness about your professional brand and the value you bring to the table. You’ll explore your communication and operating style, and prepare you to give and receive feedback effectively.
Next, you’ll make a plan for what you want to accomplish in your position within your company, now and into the future. Setting and achieving meaningful and achievable career goals is also a critical component of showing up authentically and moving your career forward. At Ama La Vida we don’t just use SMART goals, but instead EPIC goals, designed to inspire you and move you forward.
Pillar 4: Being Proactive
Say goodbye to feeling stuck or at the mercy of external circumstances. This pillar is all about empowering you to actively manage your career plans and intentionally expand your professional network.
Don’t wait until you start your job search to start attending networking events, joining professional associations, or doing informational interviews with top companies in your industry that excite and interest you.
Instead, our coaches will teach you how to stay engaged in ongoing professional growth and development, ensuring your skills never become stale. With the right processes in place, you’ll regularly check in with others around you and have an abundance of opportunities at any time. From networking with your current career field to ongoing career development plans to upward management, we’ll guide you in developing invaluable new skills to keep your resume fresh and your options limitless.
Pillar 5: Advocating
Become your own biggest advocate! It’s not always easy to speak up for ourselves, but it’s necessary if we want to achieve our goals and live the life we want. Build the skills to confidently ask for what you need across compensation, workload, and lifestyle.
We’ll help you develop strategies for direct communication with your leaders and build meaningful relationships with those who can help advocate on your behalf. With these skills, you’ll be able to take control of your career trajectory and create the opportunities and experiences you want.

You have questions, we have answers:
How do I get matched with a coach?
We have coached thousands of people since we opened our doors in 2016 and we can tell you, this works. The first step of our process is to help you define success for yourself, because that looks different for everyone. Once you have that, we will support and guide you so that you have all the tools you need to be successful.
All of our coaches undergo a rigorous vetting process before joining the team at Ama La Vida. We take into account ICF certifications, advanced degrees, industry experience, and coaching background to ensure that you are signing up with the highest quality coaching team.
Great question. The short answer is that a therapist is uniquely qualified to address disorders and mental health concerns in a way that our coaching staff is not, and would not.
Instead, a coach is there to help you identify what you want to create in your life and career and put a plan in place to achieve it. We can help you see where your thoughts, habits, reactions and assumptions are getting in the way of you reaching your goals. You can learn more about coaching versus therapy in this blog post.
On the other hand, your family and friends can be wonderful resources and support for you. However, they often come to the conversation with their own perspectives of what they want to see for you, which may not line up with your own goals and desires for your life! Our coaches go through a thorough training process so they can help you identify what you want and get there using your unique skills and gifts.
From there, they will match you with one of our 60+ coaches we have personally reviewed and vetted to ensure you receive the highest quality support.
While uncommon, if for whatever reason you’re not happy with your coach pairing, just let us know and we’ll be happy to match you with another coach.
Sometimes it takes getting into the process to fully understand what you need.
