In this episode of “People in Transition”, I welcome Marcia Wall, a Career Success Coach, career counselor, trainer, and author who has dedicated her career to helping individuals navigate change, discover their strengths, and achieve professional success. Through her strengths – based and holistic Coaching approach, Marcia helps job seekers and career changers build confidence, identify opportunities, and move forward with purpose and joy.
During our conversation, Marcia shares valuable insights for anyone navigating a career transition, including:
- Why a Growth mindset and hope are essential for making progress during coaching and career transitions.
- Why your job search is a journey, not a destination, and how embracing the process can reduce frustration and create new opportunities.
- How to combat imposter syndrome by focusing on the evidence of your accomplishments, strengths, and past successes.
- How tools like Marcia's Best Self Reflection Exercise, SkillsScan, and Gallup StrengthsFinder can help identify transferable skills and uncover new career possibilities.
- Why job seekers often make the mistake of focusing only on themselves instead of understanding an employer's needs and challenges.
- Why you don't have to be perfect to move forward – and why remembering your past successes can help build confidence for what's next.

I have had a terrific work life; I started as an auditor and then joined a property management company. I was the first professional HR executive with them. I had the opportunity to create and mature a sophisticated HR service delivery model. Then, I joined Jones Lang LaSalle, a global R/E firm. I was asked to move to Singapore to head up the Asia Pacific Region and helped build an HR team again. I then moved to Las Vegas, first with The Venetian and then with Boyd Gaming. I am now President of my own Company, HR Transitions, and the VP of HR at John I. Haas. I also have taught undergraduate and graduate level programs, including courses at Benedictine University, Heritage University, and the College of Southern Nevada.
