Discover YOUR Perfect Union
Where Your Life’s Purpose Meets Your Work’s Mission

It’s time for a holistic approach to career exploration and career management. Let’s change your narrative from Career Contortionist and Shapeshifter to Career Strategist.

No matter where you fall along the career development continuum: first career through encore performance, developing the knowledge and confidence to navigate an increasingly complex, global, AI-AI-Oh world of work is essential.

There's never been a more important time to expand your definition of what qualifies as a productive, meaningful day's work. What's negotiable, what's non-negotiable, and what's required to be truly SEEN AND HEARD.

Meet Carrie Morris
Holistic Career Development and Management Coach

I’m Carrie Morris, a personal and professional development coach with 20+ years of corporate, retainer-based talent acquisition and career services experience. 

I bring an interdisciplinary, intuitive approach to the field of career exploration, leadership development, and job search preparedness reflective of a 21st Century workforce. Our coaching conversations are designed to challenge traditional approaches to career management and job search strategies by reinvigorating a client’s purpose and evolving working identity. My practice supports executives, women, young adults, as well as those making a career change or re-entering the job market.

As a certified career coach, I have received specialized training in a variety of coaching methodologies, including positive psychology, somatic coaching, and ADHD coaching.

Professional Development Coaching

Whether you’re at the beginning of your career exploration or in the midst of a transition, it’s possible and worth your time to target a career that showcases your natural abilities, competencies, and environment that encourages innovation and self-expression.

But how do you forecast with clarity and confidence that you’re on the right path and positioned for success and satisfaction? I bring a holistic approach to the career development and reintegration process by encouraging clients to recognize the difference between work tied solely to arbitrary performance outcomes and SELF-LED work. Our work is deeply personal, regenerative, and emergent.

Welcome to CarrieOn Coaching. It’s time to Carry On!

Who I’ve Worked With

  • Shannon Burke

    “Carrie is an extremely effective and inspiring career coach. Initially, I sought Carrie’s assistance to help me to do a “ground up” review of my professional choices so that I could find greater success and fulfillment in a career that had grown stale. As is wont to happen, when Carrie and I had just begun the coaching relationship, I suddenly found myself laid off and in search of a new job. Carrie helped me to re-group and combine the “ground up” review of my career with finding and choosing a new job that better suited my skills and passions. She identified sound strategies for my job search, well beyond those found in the multitude of job hunting books. With Carrie’s guidance, I presented myself as a consummate professional, confident in my abilities and abilities and empowered to make the best choice for me.

  • Kathleen Ruxton

    “Carrie is a wonderful coach who helped me discover the parts of me that I needed more insight on in relation to my career. I am just getting back into working again after a year of health and balance focus - I wanted to take informed steps toward returning and Carrie helped me do that. Uncovering my strengths, opportunities for growth, what I’m open to, etc. were important exercises - her feedback, challenges and “Magician” - like approach encouraged me and helped instill confidence that I have been lacking. Thank you, Carrie, for everything!”

  • Lisa McCurry

    “Carrie Morris is excellent at coaching young adults who are looking for jobs and career ideas. She has worked with a number of my patients, and has furthered all of them in their development. She helped one young adult find a great job which she is well suited to and would not have found without Carrie's help. In another case, Carrie's work has helped advance the person's psychotherapy significantly. Carrie is very collaborative, communicates frequently with me on the client's progress, and is a great partner in helping people move forward in multiple ways. I strongly recommend Carrie's services!”

  • Clint Kehr

    Carrie has the gift of being able to help people realize their career goals and what "makes them tick" by using something I call the "Carrie method" (just like the Socratic method). She does this by asking the right questions and providing the right insight into a career or life situation. She gives honest, candid feedback in a very caring way. I would highly recommend her to anyone in their career journey, whether just starting out, or career professionals who want to better understand their career drivers. Carrie truly looks out for her clients through thoughtful conversations as well as analytical tests and tools to help people become their best selves not only at work, but in life!

  • Lisa Zhu

    Carrie was wonderful helping me prepare my resume. She helped me focus on my strengths and gave me "gentle yet direct" feedback on how to re-word and re-format my resume and cover letter. When I got an interview for my dream job, I called Carrie for help preparing for the interview - and I got the job! I really appreciated that she was kind but really told me the truth about how I could present myself better. I would recommend Carrie to anyone looking to polish up their resume and cover letter and/or preparing for interviews.

The CarrieOn Career Coaching Approach

I've always believed you bring your whole self to work no matter where or what your expression of work looks like. Our work will be anything but formulaic - it’s emergent, encompassing the BEING and the DOING. Asking the right questions lies at the heart of dynamic coaching; shifting a static, one-way interrogation into a meaningful learning session. 

Beyond just assessing your current career development level and goals, our professional coaching sessions involve identifying what's most important to you to gain perspective and clarity. We uncover what will help you see the problem through a more objective, expansive lens. 

To help assess your current developmental level and goals, we’ll explore some of the following themes throughout our sessions: 

  • Assessment of your core leadership competencies, stretches  and behaviors equipping you to thrive in your current role.

  • Identification of viable resources and supplemental training to support the next step in your career journey.

  • Exploration of how you process information, make decisions, and deal with conflict.

  • The connective tissue between your personal identity and working identity. 

  • The difference between a monologue and a dialogue in your presentations. 

Together we will cultivate your ability to connect personal learnings with practical outcomes.
