More than 70 percent of people today say they hate their jobs. But it's rarely because of their actual jobs, their bosses, their companies or their co-workers. And it's not usually related to pay, perks, work environment or even free coffee. The truth is, most career professionals say they’d sacrifice 23 percent of their future earnings for work that’s always meaningful.
So how do you find meaningful work in the real world? Work that makes you feel excited and energized when you get up in the morning?
You turn to Suter Group.
Why work with a career coach?
Making decisions about your career is a big deal. Especially when your goal is to do work that you find meaningful. There are a lot of questions you need to ask yourself – and a lot of choices you need to consider.
That's where a certified career coach can help: by asking important questions about what you're doing now, what you'd like to be doing in the future, and exploring what you're willing to do to bridge the gap separating the two. The relationship between you and your coach is designed to be confidential, non-judgmental, and focused entirely on helping you learn and discover what your path forward should look like.
If only you could find a meaningful career by simply clicking on a few links...
With all the resources available online today, you could easily get the impression that finding a meaningful and satisfying career is as easy as pressing "send." If only.
First you need to figure out what a meaningful career means to you. Then you need to determine what you actually want to be doing for 40 or so hours each week. And where you’d like to do it.
Do you have the necessary qualifications? If not, are you willing and able to get them?
After all that, you’ll also need to find someone to hire you. Which means you’ll need to develop some networking skills – along with a great resume. Then come the interviews. If everything goes well, you’ll get an offer and an opportunity to negotiate your salary (and maybe even some perks).
Building a great – and meaningful – career can take a great deal of work. And a coach can help make sure all that work pays off.
Coaching
Resume Writing
The search for a meaningful career begins with understanding what that means to you. You'll discover your true strengths and beliefs and learn how to build your success around them.
Your resume lets potential employers see what and how you can contribute to meeting their goals. We'll help ensure it makes the best first impression possible.
Job Search
Some 70 to 80 percent of available jobs aren't listed anywhere. But that doesn't mean you can't find them. We'll teach you how to navigate the hidden job market.
Personal Branding
Yes, you have a personal brand. But if you're like most people, you probably don't know what it is. We can help you discover, articulate, and share yours with potential employers.
About Suter Group
I started Suter Group in the 1990s as a copywriting and marketing communications business, after many years as a creative director at several agencies–where I worked with some very large companies, including IBM, Intuit, Cadbury, and MetLife. I also worked closely with a lot of people in a lot of different situations. And many of them would ask me to help them with their resumes and their job searches.
Fast forward a couple of decades...
Today I'm a certified career management coach, supporting and guiding clients in their pursuit of meaningful, satisfying careers. I work with them to explore and take advantage of their interests and strengths – and learn how to build a successful career that’s based on what’s important to them.
As their coach, I provide them with the opportunity to consider possibilities, discover what’s best for them and focus on creating positive change.
I offer them a unique chance to discover what they really like to do and where they’re most likely to find an opportunity to do it.
My background – first as a journalist, then in public relations, and as a marketer – has sharpened my curiosity, creativity and clarity about what constitutes meaningful work. And for me, meaningful work is all about working with others to discover what they need to create their own success.

Working with Jaki has been very helpful with my exploration of possible career paths. As a relatively recent graduate, seeing the number of options out there has been a bit overwhelming. Jaki has helped me define what I value in a job, and what kind of job I would excel in. She has encouraged me to think about what skills I am gaining in my current position, and how I can best frame them in the future. Speaking with Jaki has expanded my view on where I can go next, and helped me think about opportunities I would not have otherwise considered. Thank you Jaki!
