You are awesome. But something is standing in your way.

I'm a certified professional career coach (CPCC). I help people navigate the modern day job search. The most common obstacle for job seekers isn't a weak resume or a lackluster LinkedIn bio, although I help with that, too. Too often, the culprit is low self-esteem, lack of focus or hopelessness at a dead-end job. Every day, I help people overcome their fears and develop skills critical for professional and personal growth. And, yes, I help people land jobs and secure higher salaries. If anyone you know is looking to find more fulfilling, better-paying work, let's chat.
