Professional Transition Coaching

Navigate change with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Whether you're stepping into a new role, leaving a long-held position, or reimagining your professional identity entirely, transitions bring both opportunity and uncertainty. Dr. Finney helps executives and professionals move through career changes with self-awareness, strategic thinking, and emotional resilience—turning moments of upheaval into transformative growth.

Why Professional Transitions Are More Than Career Changes

A professional transition is rarely just about changing jobs or titles. It's about shifting identity, redefining success, and navigating the emotional landscape that comes with letting go of the familiar and stepping into the unknown.

Our work together focuses on:

Clarifying your authentic values and priorities at this life stage
Processing the emotional complexity of change and loss
Building confidence in your decision-making during uncertainty
Creating a strategic roadmap for your next chapter
Maintaining personal wellbeing and relationships during transition
