Career and life coaching for thoughtful people who feel stuck and want greater clarity about what comes next. Many of the people I work with have built meaningful experience but have reached a point where something no longer feels quite aligned. Sometimes that shows up as feeling uncertain about the next step, wanting more clarity about direction or purpose, or sensing that the path they have been on may no longer fit as well as it once did. Often, clients come to coaching not because they lack ability or ambition, but because they sense their next chapter should feel more intentional, meaningful, or aligned with who they have become. Coaching offers a thoughtful, supportive space to sort through those questions and begin figuring out the direction that makes the most sense for you. I am a certified CliftonStrengths coach and career development specialist with more than a decade of experience across higher education, workforce development, and behavioral health settings. My work focuses on helping people translate insight into meaningful forward movement. My approach is thoughtful and collaborative, grounded in the belief that meaningful clarity rarely comes from quick advice, but from taking the time to think carefully about what truly fits. Rather than focusing primarily on fixing weaknesses, I help clients identify and intentionally apply their natural talents and strengths as a foundation for decision making, direction, and growth. In our coaching sessions, we explore what you naturally do well, what motivates you, and where your strengths can create the most momentum. Using tools such as the CliftonStrengths assessment, we translate those insights into practical next steps and a clearer sense of direction. Coaching offers space to think out loud, gain perspective, and begin turning ideas into action. Whether you are navigating a transition, exploring new possibilities, or simply feeling stuck, the goal is not just a better job decision but a direction that supports a fuller, more intentional life. If you are feeling stuck or simply want a thoughtful space to talk things through, feel free to reach out. I am always happy to start with a conversation and see whether coaching feels like a good fit.

Michael W. says, "Working with Mike as my boss and coach for the past ten years has been one of the most impactful experiences of my professional life. It’s hard to sum up a decade of growth, trust, and mentorship, but I can say without hesitation that I wouldn’t be where I am today without him. I’ll never forget the day Mike went from being my manager to my mentor. He sat me down and told me it was time to grow or get left behind and then immediately followed it by assuring me that he wanted me to grow with him, and that he couldn’t do it without me. That moment changed everything. From then on, his leadership became about more than just results; it became about growth, accountability, and belief. Mike saw potential in me long before I fully saw it in myself and consistently challenged me to raise my standards, think bigger, and take ownership of my development. His feedback was always honest and direct, but never discouraging, because it always came from a place of genuinely wanting me to succeed. What I appreciate most about Mike is his consistency and integrity. Whether things were going well or we were facing challenges, he showed up the same way every time steady, thoughtful, and fully invested in his people. He leads by example, listens when it matters most, and knows exactly when to coach, when to push, and when to simply have your back. After ten years, Mike isn’t just someone I worked for he’s someone who helped shape how I work, how I lead, and how I approach challenges. Any team that gets to work with him is incredibly lucky"

Josie F. says, "There are so many counselors, healers, therapists, lifestyle gurus and professional advice-givers out there that it's easy to feel overwhelmed by all the choices. As a mother of three, I've spent who knows how much time and money looking for effective support for my family's health, only to find superficial, time consuming programs that may produce short-lived results (that require constant re-upping to maintain any effectiveness), but never really get to the heart of what we need. Nothing I've tried has come close to the kind of immediate, deep affect that working with Krista has provided. Her methods are so gentle and intuitive that it's hard to believe the powerful results. Within a week of our first hour-long session, my energy and sense of well-being were raised dramatically. I felt clearer and more confident in my body's ability to heal and was amazed when the results started reaching beyond the original issue for which I had sought her out. Five years later, I don't hesitate to turn to Krista first for all of my and my family's health questions, from nutrition to mental/emotional and relationship dilemmas. Her compassionate manner and truly holistic approach have given me the support I've needed to overcome blocks and reach my goals, without the confusing and often guilt-inducing yo-yo effect I've experienced with other practitioners. She understands that our lives aren't cookie-cutter and our issues aren't compartmentalized, and so is able to invest in the whole client and get to the actual root of a problem, instead of just temporarily easing the symptoms. If you've tried all the healthy living fads, diet programs, all the different therapies, alternative and conventional, and are still feeling stuck, please set up an appointment with Krista, and get ready for a breakthrough!"

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

A professional, accredited life coach works with people to help them make important changes in their life, either growing in their profession or changing gears in their personal lives. They help clients turn their dreams or wishes into realistic, attainable goals. They guide people through the process of making life changes by helping them evaluate the steps they must take to reach a particular goal, then help them decide how — and whether — to take those steps in the most efficient, effective and rewarding way possible. A life coach acts as a motivator, strategist and accountability partner. Unlike a therapist, a life coach doesn’t help solve problems from your past — they’re focused on helping you move forward with new ways of acting and thinking that will help you reach your goals. Some people specialize in particular types of life coaching, including life balancing coaches, small business coaches, executive coaches and personal finance coaches. Some meet clients in person, while others hold consultations over the phone.

Regardless of which type of life coach you’re interested in, make sure the person holds an International Coach Federation (ICF) credential. There are three tiers of credentials: Associate, Professional and Master, which require coaching experience ranging from 100 hours to 2,500 hours.

There are 21 five star executive coach trainers in Columbus, Ohio on Thumbtack.
