Edith Moricz is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her professionalism and expertise.
She harnessed the breadth of her experiences to guide others on their journey to success. With over two decades of diverse roles, ranging from financial advising to charitable fundraising, adjunct college teaching, and career coaching, her trajectory has been anything but conventional.
Her path was not smooth. Twelve years ago, a corporate restructuring shook the foundations of her career, leading her on a quest for her dream job. Through the trials and triumphs of her own job search, she not only secured that coveted position but also discovered a passion for helping others navigate the complexities of the professional landscape. In 2016, she launched the FastTrack2YrDreamJob coaching program, a testament to her commitment to steering talented professionals toward their aspirations.
She has been recognized as LinkedIn’s #1 Career Coach in 2017 and awarded the Top 10 list in 2021. From overcoming childhood bullying to excelling academically and cultivating an unwavering sense of self, her personal challenges have shaped a coaching style that prioritizes individual strengths, values, and the qualitative and quantitative impact clients make on their communities. Today, she can help you land your dream job in the shortest path possible and excel in it. Here is what she said.
Meet Life Coach Edith Moricz:
Name: Edith Moricz
Pillar: The Mind
Who is this coach for: Anyone who wants to land their dream job in the shortest path possible.
How they can help: Through an evaluation of the clients’ passions and skills, weekly plan for ideal job search, accountability, support before and after interviews, improving confidence, and managing frustrations.
First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?
We are doing well, thank you.
How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?
Many of my clients needed job search or career transition support as they were relocating across the country, as well as from overseas to the U.S.
What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?
Consistent self development and nurturing physical, mental, and emotional well being are crucial for managing uncertainly during challenging times and for achieving life and career goals.
The Origin:
Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?
My 20+ years career path has included financial advising, charitable fundraising, adjunct college teaching, and career coaching.
About 12 years ago, I was Director of Development and Marketing at a non profit organization.
A corporate restructuring led to my job search.
After many frustrations and disappointments in my job search, I landed my dream job.
After that experience, I wanted to help talented professionals land their dream job in the shortest path by avoiding the many mistakes I had made in my job search.
In 2016, I launched my career coaching program, “FastTrack2YrDreamJob”.
Based on my nationwide client success stories, I was recognized as LinkedIn’s #1 Career Coach in 2017 and LinkedIn’s Top 10 Career Coach in 2021, in addition to receiving a Tory Burch Foundation Grant in 2021.
What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?
Throughout my childhood and school years, I was bullied and harassed by my classmates due to my congenital difference.
The experience led me to excel academically, to develop a strong sense of self awareness, confidence, persistence, self motivation and resilience.
I work well on team projects, but I also enjoy pursuing independent projects that leverage my creative skills, especially my writing and public speaking skills.
One of the key lessons I’ve learned in my life is not letting others’ opinions or thoughts define you or set your path.
Challenges in life are much like a job search: there will be frustrations, disappointments and rejection.
You distinguish yourself from other candidates based on your verbal and non verbal presentation, your values and the impact you’ve made in the community throughout your career and life path.
Based on my own career and life path, I’m delighted to share my insights and expertise for creating an effective job search plan and for landing dream jobs.
The Coaching Style:
How do you innovate with coaching your clients?
My coaching program is customized based on each client’s goals and values.
Attending industry Webinars and master mind meetings are few ways that I stay on top of industry trends and offer best practices to create the most effective strategies for my clients to land their dream jobs in the shortest path.
I offer coaching support via phone, video, email, in person and through my podcasts.
Also, I believe that career success goes hand in hand with life success.
Based on my own life experiences in the following areas, I integrate my insights and best practices into each client‘s coaching program (based on each client‘s challenges and goals):
- Building and maintaining confidence.
- Leading and managing teams.
- Managing obstacles.
- Ensuring diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
- Demonstrating resilience.
What’s unique about your coaching approach?
My coaching program focuses on my client’s skills, passions and the impact (qualitative and quantitative) that these have made on the community throughout their life and career.
Understanding my client’s values and ensuring their alignment with organizational cultures is key for my client to feel excited and inspired by the job opportunity.
I offer a money back guarantee and a flexible payment plan.
What benefits do your clients get after working with you?
FastTrack2YrDreamJob Program is personalized career coaching that includes life coaching to help create an equilibrium in my client’s life: landing the dream job is part of their life and career success story.
I provide consistent support to manage the challenges, frustrations and struggles of the job search.
My coaching calls help each client stay confident before, during and after interviews and in negotiating their compensation package.
Guiding them on a 2 to 3 days per week, 1 hour each day job search plan fosters a smart, healthy balance with their personal obligations.
This balance and focused job search plan creates powerful, persuasive, and succinct verbal and written narratives which are the key pieces to a successful job search that lands the dream job.
Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?
I love sending uplifting, affirming and energizing audio messages to my clients, as well as sharing my Podcast series with them.
The Impact:
If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?
Leverage your uniqueness (skills, passions) and align with organizations that share your values and recognize your expertise.
Make sure that the organization you choose to partner with excites you and inspires you with their mission.
When you receive multiple job offers, choose the organization that is truly excited to have you join its team… they will make you feel special and appreciated.
What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?
I’ve learned that daily gratitude for life’s blessings is essential.
I’ve also learned to focus my time on leveraging my strongest skills and passions while outsourcing my areas of weakness.
This has maximized my daily happiness while helping others achieve their life and career goals.
Your final thoughts?
Nothing to add.
