Close Up Radio to Feature Heather Maietta of Career in Progress

Westford, MA -- Heather Maietta is a top-notch executive and career coach who strives to provide the absolute best service to her clients and has received numerous honors for it. She has led a long and successful career in the placement office of a higher education organization and took things a step further by establishing her own professional development coaching practice named Career in Progress in 2005. Many things differentiate her from the competition, such as keeping abreast of workforce trends, a solid understanding of niche markets, specialized training in psychology and needs-based placements, and a strong networking base.

In fact, Heather is such a specialist on the career exploration subject that she recently published a book on it, one that is defined as an industry standard. It is called Career Coaching: Fundamentals, Applications, and Future Directions and offers an overview of the practice, a brief history of career coaching, and a comparison to career counseling. The book gets into the nitty gritty of technique, ethics, theories, and models and how to increase knowledge and proficiency in delivering career coaching services. Interestingly Heather’s journey into publishing on the topic of career development grew from her dissertation work when she became close with her research mentor, who asked her to collaborate on the researching and writing in this area. 15 years and many publications later, their partnership continues.

“I wear many hats, I educate. I do research. I publish on career and job-related topics.”
