Re: Career counselor for veteran animator?
I can recommend Louise Goeckel, career consultant and coach. I am a professional visual artist and a master teacher. Louise has been very easy to work with and has been very valuable as I grow my business. She listens for and supports the creative spirit, the essence of one's yearnings and can hold one's evolving...she is creative herself, compassionate, savvy and practical. She has helped me by getting to the heart of the matter very quickly so the process is efficient and amazing. AND she has a sense of humor and delight, that I very much enjoy. Louise Goeckel, M. A.

Re: Looking for a crackerjack, gifted career counselor
I am responding to ''anon'' who asked about a gifted career counselor. I would like to recommend Louise Goeckel, Lgconsults [at] aol.com. She is located in Alameda. I first met Louise when she served as a consultant to a community clinic where I was employed. I was impressed by her sensitivity and compassion as well as her organizational skills and attentiveness to the tasks at hand. Since that time, I have been fortunate to participate in a workshop series with Louise, where women in mid-life transition come together in an intimate setting to learn about ourselves and from each other. Louise has a broad background and she is able to help us discover our own style of working and our own creativity, strengths, interests, passion and share it with the world. She is a very resourceful person and I would think it worth your while to have a conversation with her. ks

Dear career-life contemplator:
I had a very good experience working with career consultant Louise Goeckel. Louise is down-to-earth, practical, and has the full pro's kit of career assessment and inspiration tools and resources at her disposal; and she also has an especially compassionate, trained counselor's approach to collaborating with clients. She sees work and career within the larger context of a life. She'll work with you to identify what factors are most important to YOU in choosing from the array of options you might consider; and will then tailor her support of you to suit you fiscally, temporally, and energetically. I was on an email thread about career counselors recently with other grads of my university, and there were many recommendations for career coaches and counselors from all over the country, as everyone (including Lousie) has been working remotely during the pandemic. I actually appreciated that Louise, who lives in Alameda, has a rich knowledge of Bay Area employers and organizations. That made a difference to me in our process. Louise was also ready to connect me with loads of people from her own local network as I did a bunch of informational-interview exploration.
I hope you find the balance you're seeking, with Louise or someone else's support. You can reach Louise at 510-749-9624 or Louise [at] LetsGoForward.biz (Louise[at]LetsGoForward[dot]biz)
I highly recommend Louise Goeckel 510-749-9624 http://www.letsgoforward.biz/. I have found her to be a deep, insightful listener, with lots of current information on the job market and career change options. I especially appreciate the fact that I don't have to be mentally organized for my meetings with her (either at her home office in Alameda or by phone). Instead, she's able to follow my digressive thoughts, making connections I wasn't aware of and highlighting skills and directions I wouldn't have thought of. She's also an artist, which helps me as a self-employed creative. Our sessions together always leave me feeling more sharply focused and able to prioritize next actions.
