Career coaching
OUR PROCESS
Don’t waste time with a coaching process that wasn’t made for you (or that doesn’t work)
COACHING MAPS
a personalized plan for your career goals
We believe in a simple approach—no unnecessary steps, just what works.
That’s why we start with Coaching Maps—our proven framework we’ve honed over the years to help thousands of people navigate what’s next for themselves and their careers. Think of it as a template designed to guide you through career changes and professional growth.
You and your coach will customize the plan to fit your unique goals and timeline. You’ll be able to:
Move faster if you’re ready. Take more time where needed. Focus on what matters most to you.
Your Coaching Map helps answer key questions like: How long does this take? What am I getting out of this? How can a coach help me?!
The career process for long-term fulfillment.
When the thought of what’s next in your career leaves you, at best, apathetic and, at worst, filled with existential dread, you need more than a new resume. You need
a career plan, and probably some soul-searching, confidence-boosting along
the way.
We’re not just here to get you a new job.
We’re here to help you uncover the right next step for your life. Get ready for
career clarity and confidence.

— Katrina Swanson
“I was unsure about working with a career coach, as I had heard some bad reviews. I didn’t want to waste time and money. I can honestly say that this is some of the best time and money I’ve ever spend. I’m just in the beginning, still, but I have all the confidence in the world that my coach and I will figure this out!”
— Rachelle D
“I met my coach when I was full of questions about my work life. The whole process of Ama La Vida was well-conceived, well-designed, and with great outcomes. I felt in good hands throughout and have recommended Ama La Vida Coaching to my friends.”
