Volunteering as a Peer Counselor with Empower Work

I’m proud to share that I recently became a Certified Peer Counselor Volunteer with Empower Work, an organization that plays a critical role in supporting individuals facing significant challenges in the workplace, anonymously and free of charge.

Workplace issues—ranging from burnout and harassment to uncertainty about the future—can have a profound impact on a person’s overall well-being. Empower Work counselors provide a structured environment where individuals can articulate their concerns, clarify their needs, and, when appropriate, identify actionable steps that align with their values and goals.

Each conversation I have as a coach through Empower Work teaches me something new. By listening deeply and asking thoughtful questions, I help others discover their own strength and decide on a next step that feels both comfortable and meaningful. It’s a humbling experience to be part of that process and to support someone who has taken the courageous step to reach out.
