Common Questions
Is this just for people who want to leave the nonprofit sector?
No! This coaching is for anyone navigating a nonprofit career decision—whether that's entering the field, advancing within it, taking a strategic detour to the private sector, or building a social enterprise.
I'm still a student. Is this too early for career coaching?
Absolutely not! Getting clarity early can save you years of trial and error. Many students benefit from understanding their career options before graduation.
How is this different from my university's career services?
University career services are generalists. Dr. Humphreys specializes in community development careers and brings 20+ years of experience in this field. He understands the unique challenges of balancing social impact with financial sustainability.
What if I need more than one session?
The coaching includes one comprehensive 60-minute session and a written action plan. If you'd like ongoing coaching support, we can discuss additional sessions after your initial consultation.
Do you offer a sliding scale?
Yes, for students and those facing financial hardship, we offer reduced rates. Indicate this when you book and we'll work something out.
