With the ever-changing workplace and diverse needs in personal lives, Sirius CSC focuses on supporting people who are making career choices and life choices that best reflect the life they want to lead.

Career Changes:
Imagine sitting on your deck swing, a nice breeze and the dog sunning himself at your feet. And that’s your office. Contrast it with days reading the news of more layoffs to come, from downsizing, corporate bankruptcy, or shipping jobs offshore. For those in their 40’s 50’s and 60’s, many did the “right thing”, went into an “appropriate” career or toiled patiently on the line serving time – all the while feeling like a round peg trying to fit into a square cubicle. So many individuals have reached a point, whether by choice or circumstances that now is the time to make committed and conscience choices about how to spend the rest of their productive working years.

If now is the time for you to make those choices and changes – welcome to the grand adventure! You can dump all of your old baggage and fill your handsome luggage with new life challenges, experiences and adventures. Sirius partners with clients to design and create a professional life that suits your unique strengths, attributes, interests and talents be it working in another industry, pursing hobbies to a business level or creating your own company, now is the time of your own design.

Life changes:
Divorce, widowhood, and empty nesting can force the need for change, or perhaps a deep desire to design and create a life that suits the individual rather than following along or being “normal” or what “should” be done. Sirius CSC partners with individuals to discover the elements of a truly authentic life and implementing those elements to create the brightest life. Creating structures and a supportive environment, Sirius coaches individuals to pursue special ideas that have been long cherished but often buried beneath necessity.

Business Changes:
Creating unique networks and partnerships that take advantage of todays ever changing marketplace, Sirius brainstorms and creates connections with complimentary businesses to forge unique new options for growth. Creating unique events and reaching outside of traditional outlets can bring a business fresh recognition and new opportunities. Sirius also offers a secure sounding board to try out new ideas, scenarios and possibilities before they make it to a business plan. Sirius provides a unique unbiased and independent perspective, which helps the business owner define and refine ideas in the initial and developmental stages.

Entrepreneurs are in their natural element when talking about their ideas, inventions and potential for them. What does not always come naturally is presentation, communication and dissemination of those ideas to investors and the business community. Holding back many entrepreneurs are thoughts of giving a speech, explaining the intricacies and possibilities of a business idea or invention, and asking for funding. Coaching on networking, presentation and business interactions bring the entrepreneur confidence and poise when interacting with potential investors.

Coaching with Sirius provides a solid support system that includes:

• Listening without judgment.
• Confidential place to explore business and career options.
• A place to reflect on the pros and cons of current position or field of work to discover new venues for skills, talents and experiences.
• Resources and information to support career growth and goals.
• An impartial sounding board for new ideas, exploring concepts and debating options.
• Affirmation and acknowledgment of strengths and support in discovering hidden talents.
• A place to identify and develop balance for healthy work and personal environments.

"Being in a coaching relationship with Ellen has truly been a gift. Ellen is so down to earth and she is able to get to the heart of things quickly. She has a directness that is balanced with her great sense of humor. As a coach I feel she is committed to me. One of the best things I like about Ellen is that she will call me on my stuff. If I said I was going to do something, she remembers. She follows up and she clarifies my commitment. But she also does it with great compassion. There is no doubt in my mind that she is always looking out for me and supporting me to be my best."

"Ellen is a natural at coaching. She helped me gain clarity on so many issues, by asking just the right questions that quickly moved me toward what I truly wanted. Ellen made our coaching sessions fun, insightful and extremely productive. Her perspective and support on my issues have made a tremendous difference in my life. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to work with such a powerful coach!"

"Leaving the law firm was the hardest decision I had ever made. I came from 4 generations of lawyers and doing something different with life was a scary prospect. Ellen helped me explore the options, pros, cons and adventure of each opportunity. I opened my first ice cream store, using my legal background to negotiate all of the business dealings, and have discovered an innate talent for talking with people who come to my counter for a cone and little bit of legal advise too!"

"I love Ellen's sense of humor. She always manages to pull me out of a slump when my creativity is on a nosedive. Everyone should have a coach like her. She has the great combination of having a sense of humor and great wisdom, both at the same time."
