About Me

You might be here because your job is draining, your coworkers are annoying, your manager is difficult, or you feel ready for a career change. I’m here because I can help.

My name is Wendy Daunheimer and I’ve helped corporate professionals build satisfying careers since 2008. I work with people who:

  • Know they need a change but aren’t sure what they want, or
  • Want to change jobs or move into a new career field but aren’t sure what steps to take, or
  • Are fed up with hating life on weekday mornings because they have to go into the office, or
  • Feel there is little opportunity to use their strengths in their work

I’ve made several career transitions myself – from sales to real estate to office administration to computer tech support to programming to web development to database development to systems engineering to management to Human Resources and coaching. I did it the hard way – on my own, reading every book I could find that seemed relevant and scared to death that people would laugh at me or that I would fail. That’s a scary place. And if you stay there long enough, it can turn into a black pit of despair. There is a better way.

The two biggest challenges people face when they want to make a career change are a lack of confidence and limited options. Books, motivational seminars, and advice from well intentioned loved ones can only go so far. Working with a professional career coach can help you:

  • Get clear on what matters to you and how to do or get more of it
  • See what is blocking your path and how to overcome challenges
  • Plug your energy drains and do more of the activities that energize you
