\"Dr<\/a><\/a>ABOUT DR. HELEN OFOSU<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

I believe that in good times and bad, resilience is one of the major keys to success.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why my approach to career coaching and executive coaching is to help people get ahead in a way that insulates them from future setbacks. It\u2019s also why, as a consultant, I aim to help organizations become stronger and more resilient so they are ready for both the predictable and unforeseen challenges that all organizations face at some point.<\/p>\n

I believe that people and organizations that appreciate the level of precision and care that I can provide should have access to it – high-calibre services should not be reserved only for members of the Fortune 500.<\/p>\n

What sets me apart from many career and executive coaches is my experience on the inside of the federal government and my understanding of their HR processes and systems.<\/p>\n

The stakes are high for my clients, and I can offer insights and customized services that few others can deliver \u2013 I have helped develop many hiring tools over the years!<\/p>\n

My inside experience gives my clients an edge in getting hired and promoted in the public (and private) sector and in managing their careers as they progress. I co-designed and co-created many of the competency and behaviour-based assessments, structured interviews, role plays, simulations and online psychometric tests used to screen candidates for federal government jobs.<\/p>\n

I enjoy bringing my knowledge, lived experience, sensitivity, and sense of humour to my career consultations, executive coaching, training, and HR work.<\/p>\n

As a specialist with a PhD in Industrial\/Organizational Psychology (a branch of Applied Social Psychology), I take an evidence-based approach by using the latest research and best practices to increase the odds of my clients\u2019 success.<\/p>\n
