Unleash Your Full Potential

At Meg Franko Coaching, I specialize in career and retirement coaching for mission-driven individuals who are ready to step into new possibilities in their work and life. Whether you are making a career pivot or are navigating your post-career identity, my commitment is to support your growth and transformation as you build a life that aligns with your values, strengths, and goals.

My Coaching Approach

Using the Co-Active coaching model, I partner with you to discover your authentic vision, uncover your unique strengths, and overcome the limiting beliefs that may hold you back. I combine this with strategies and activities to support career and post-career exploration and transition. Together, we’ll explore new perspectives, and I will challenge you to take bold actions that align with your values and goals. 

Career Transitions

Transitioning into a new career can be both exciting and overwhelming. I will partner with you to navigate every aspect of the career transition process:

•  Mindset: When looking for a new career, you may carry limiting beliefs and uncertainty that affect your progress. Coaching throughout the process can help you develop a positive, resilient mindset to propel you more quickly toward your new vision. 
• Self-knowledge: You need to understand yourself before you can select where you want to go next. Using self-assessments and coaching activities, I will help you identify and prioritize your values, strengths, interests, and skills to determine a clear direction and articulate what you bring to your next role.
• Exploration: Career transitions require research and experimentation. I will support you to conduct research about potential career paths and share strategies for how to conduct outreach and informational interviews with folks in the careers you are considering.
• Career Marketing Campaign: Once you have narrowed down to one career role to pursue, I will guide you to develop a strong resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. Together, we will also grow your networking and interviewing skills.

Career Development

We spend approximately one-third of our lives at work! Career development coaching helps you to make that time fulfilling and meaningful. Some things we might focus on include:

• Confidence: Cultivate deep self-assurance to act with conviction and authenticity. 
• Inspiration: Tap into new sources of motivation that fuel your personal and professional growth. 
• Work-Life Balance: Create a balanced life where your personal well-being and professional ambitions coexist. 
• Fulfillment: Align your work with your deeper sense of purpose and joy. 
• Accountability: Stay on track with your goals, knowing that I’ll be there every step of the way to support and challenge you. 
• Leadership: Grow into a new leadership role or navigate the challenges and opportunities of the role you already have. 

Third Act Exploration

 Your Third Act is an opportunity to explore possibilities beyond the boundaries of your primary career. For some, this means stepping into encore roles that leverage years of expertise in a fresh way. For others, it’s about crafting a retirement filled with meaning, learning, and contribution. Together, we will look at:

• Identity & Purpose: Redefine what success and fulfillment look like in this season of life.
• Exploration & Options: Imagine new ways to use your time and talents, whether through part-time work, volunteering, learning, or creative pursuits.
• Balance & Well-being: Create space for health, relationships, and personal passions as you navigate this transition.
• Legacy & Impact: Identify the contributions you still want to make and how you’d like to be remembered.

Together, we will design our coaching partnership to meet your needs. You will determine what we focus on, while I will hold your vision and ask you powerful questions to allow you to find the answers and solutions that best serve you.
