Thanks to all who expressed interest in the free  career coaching. I have now exceeded the number of clients I need to meet with for certification, and do not have any further openings for free coaching.

If you are interested in one-on-one coaching around life, transition, and career issues, and you are a college student, or higher ed professional, please contact me for a basic consultation and/or to get on my waiting list. I expect to be able to take on an initial client load of 10 to 15 clients starting in January. If interested, contact me and we can go over what to expect, rates, etc.

The big news from Happy Valley this week (or at least MY news from Happy Valley this week) is that I will be leaving Penn State early next month, after 14 and a half years (mostly good ones), and relocating to Athens, GA, so me and my wife and kids can be closer to our extended families. We found a great house and it even looks like we might be able to sell our current one soon enough. I’m looking forward to warmer weather and giving this whole business thing a good honest try.

I’ll miss my friends and colleagues, but I won’t miss winters up here, and I am so looking forward to the changes that will come with not being part of a big beaureaucracy or being “on call” for campus emergencies. Wish me luck!

In other news, I am lining up some possible guest bloggers for this site and for HigherEdLifeCoach.com during my packing and moving period. If you work in higher education or have some great perspectives to share, send me a message at sean@higheredcareercoach.com and we can talk.
