Aricia Shaffer's career has been dedicated to empowering individuals to find fulfillment in their professional lives.  For over two decades, she has leveraged her background as a therapist and educator to become a trailblazing force in the coaching world, known as the "Contrarian Coach."

Aricia's approach disrupts traditional career advice.  She believes true success isn't about chasing a singular passion, but rather exploring diverse options with curiosity and crafting work environments that thrive on individual strengths and values.  This client-centered approach helps individuals redefine success on their own terms, fostering a sense of engagement and fulfillment within their comfort zones.

Aricia's impact extends beyond individual coaching.  Recognizing the growing communication gap between generations in the workplace, she has partnered with corporations to bridge this divide.  Her expertise fosters collaborative work environments where diverse strengths are celebrated and synergy becomes the norm.

She’s a coach, a teacher, and an author. She recently collaborated with a group of other experts on the book, “Brewing Success: A Job Seeker’s Guide to Networking.”
