About
The Center For Life Decisions
The Center for Life Decisions is a career counseling and consulting practice offering clients individualized and group assistance in career and life decision making (in person and by phone). The Center assists employees and employers in creating new workplace options while promoting social, environmental and economic sustainability. A limited number of opportunities exist for clients to barter office work for career services. Please inquire. A portion of all client and workshop fees is donated to environmental, peace and justice, and human rights organizations.

Signing up to work
with you for an extended career contract has been the best thing I've
done for myself in a long time.
I've referred
five people to you that have actually used your services. All of them
have thanked me for the referral. As with all consulting/counseling jobs,
doing good work gets you more work. You've earned the referrals. - organizational

Thanks for your confidence in us here at the Center as we positively anticipate serving you and those you refer over the next decade.
Special Feature: Career Assistance by Phone
You've been more helpful in the last 2 minutes than anything I've done in the last year, including calling a high-priced outplacement firm in Seattle."
-Phone Client from Illinois
Avoid sitting in
traffic, parking hassles, and added automotive expense and still have
ready access to a career counselor. These can be tangible savings to you
in terms of time, energy and money. The Center offers this service as
one antidote to the increasing stress and gridlock in our daily lives.
The phone service can assist you whether you are simply gathering immediate
information on a career change, need access to businesses in other locations
or are considering a geographical move. The Center is part of a national
network of career professionals in over 30 states who have worked with
major corporations and organizations. As it is not able to cover all career
needs and concerns, phone assistance is meant to be a complement, not
a replacement, for face-to-face counseling. Could you use this service
right now? Satisfied clients in the Puget Sound Region, AK, CA, IL, MA,
NM, NY, OR, TX, IL. . . . Contact the Center for details: 206-325-9093
