Workshops

I EMPOWER and EQUIP people to navigate personally meaningful career journeys.

Coaching

I help people EVOLVE - growth enabled to get ‘unstuck’ and ENGAGE more fully - creating momentum for life and career journey.

Speaking

I ENCOURAGE through insights and tools to expand horizons, capacity, connection with self and others.

Are you looking for support to steward your career and navigate your way in a world that is rapidly changing?

I help you get the clarity and insights to find your answer to the questions, What’s next for me? and How can I make a difference?

Does your organization or team want effective tools to create connection and work effectively together?

Through interactive workshops, individual coaching, coaching hikes, inspiring presentations and the books A Career in Your Suitcase and Retire to the Life You Love, I have tools to empower and equip you to intentionally navigate and steward your career at any life stage and transition.

I design and deliver workshops and webinars to work teams, employees (& their partners) as well as students to empower careers, work engagement, communication and collaboration.

"Colleen..., you listen to the story, the picture, the unfolding and see and say the pattern so beautifully. It feels like you can shine the light of focus on the blurry and give it clarity. What a gift!"

Nikki Thompson

Regenerative Coach, Soil2Soul

“Working with Colleen as my career coach was a game-changer. I arrived feeling unsure about my career path, and her tailored approach — combined with resources like the Online Storyteller — was instrumental in helping me gain clarity about my possibilities.

The Online Storyteller, in particular, helped me uncover potential career directions I hadn’t previously considered. It was a powerful tool for reflection and exploration.

I highly recommend Colleen if you're looking for someone who truly understands your unique needs and can help you move forward with confidence.”

About Colleen Reichrath

This is why I do what I do...

I believe that:

Careers unfold over time and are revealed over time. There is no such thing as a wrong career choice (or study choice); every choice is made within a context and leads to future choices.

A career crisis is really a crisis of imagination; the inability to imagine a situation/career other than the one you are currently in. The key to creating a personally meaningful career is being able to look inside to what is important to you, clarify what you can do, and then look outside to your current situation to find the opportunities that work for your lifestyle and this time and place in your life/career.

Careers are created in collaboration and dialogue with our local and global networks. A willingness to engage wherever you find yourself, an attitude of openness to exploration and unexpected opportunity, the ability to step into the ‘unknown’ and find your way and the ability to adapt to new information and situations are essential to a successful career.

Your career is an ongoing journey – it continues as you grow and develop and move over the course of your life.

I believe the skills needed to develop your career are essential skills in this globalising world. They enable you to create a personally meaningful life from almost anywhere in the world on your own terms.

As a career development professional I equip and empower people so they can navigate their career across international borders, occupational boundaries and economic shifts.

I believe this is an essential skill in this globalising world, enabling you to create a personally meaningful life from almost anywhere in the world and remain true to who you are.

A Certified Holistic Narrative Career Professional (HNCP), Syntropic World Coach and co-author of the fourth edition of A Career in Your Suitcase, I have been a self-employed career consultant since 1997.

Recently I have had the honour of adding the facilitation of the workshop Retire to the Life You Love to my toolkit based on the book written by my mentor and mother, Nell Smith.

I am excited to be empowering and equipping people to learn to Dare to Care in their careers and lives on behalf of Syntropic World starting in the fall of 2024.

After starting my career consultancy in Canada in 1997, I took it on an international adventure to theNetherlands in 2005. This provided me not only personal and professional insight into the world of global mobility and talent management, but also, inspired me to develop resources and programmes suited to these challenges. Currently I also contract with IMPACT Group as an International Career and Transition Coach in the Netherlands.

I am a member of the ACCESS Trainers Network in the Netherlands and fluent in English and Dutch.
