CHANGE IS RARELY EASY.

ARE YOU PROUD OF YOUR RESUME AND LINKEDIN PROFILE?
Most people dread "selling" themselves, writing their own resume, or updating their LinkedIn profile. They struggle with making their "brand" simple, clear, and impressive. I simplify and streamline the process for you, so that you can put your best foot forward.
WHY DOES COACHING MATTER?
|
Whether you're a leader or employee, it's tough work these days.
Executives are often overburdened by scrutiny; employees often feel stressed or burned out. Navigating toxic work cultures is a land mine for anyone. Yet sometimes leaving a job feels impossible. Confidence doesn't always come naturally. Yet it's critical to explore and nurture self-esteem. Writing your own resume or LinkedIn profile is a pain. Seriously, who has the time or energy? Job interviews can be unnerving. Especially if you're feeling a bit rusty. Networking isn't what it used to be. Now it's often impersonal and online. Salary negotiations are often awkward. More so if you don't have a clear plan of attack. Switching careers can be daunting. Where should you even start? Becoming a thought leader isn't random. Building a reputation requires thoughtful guided action. |
I CAN HELP
(if you're ready)
|
Over the last decade, I've helped hundreds of people become more thoughtful and effective leaders, collaborators, and communicators. I've seen them land great job interviews and secure lucrative offers at Fortune 500 companies, renowned nonprofits, and disruptive startups.
I've supported clients already in their target roles and companies, guiding them through key milestones, challenges, and periods of uncertainty: ► promotions and lateral moves ► sudden changes in job scope ► interpersonal conflicts at work ► burnout and work-related stress ► major global projects and initiatives ► mergers & acquisitions ► morale-depleting reorgs and layoffs ► the complexities of daily work-life It's deeply rewarding work. As a coach, I'll empower you to improve your performance and productivity and, more importantly, to boost your resilience and agility. I'll guide you in finding ways to align your professional goals and career decisions with your personal values and passions so that you can thrive. |

MY APPROACH
|
HOW EXACTLY DO I HELP AS A COACH?
I ask the right questions. I listen. Then I get to work. My clients are not just customers--they are equal partners in the journey. I'm as nice as I am tough, and I don't accept excuses. My clients invest their hard-earned money, time, and energy in coaching--and it's my privilege to support them.
►►► EXECUTIVE COACHING:
I partner with current and emerging leaders, managers, and senior-level executives who wish to cultivate leadership skills, resilience, an innovation mindset, and a level head amidst never-ending changes and brutal demands. I work with executive clients on a range of key leadership skills from public speaking and self-branding, to thought leadership, confidence and trust building, communicating more assertively, delegating + letting go, mobilizing teams more effectively, and adopting a mental fitness mindset at work.
►►► CAREER + INTERVIEW COACHING:
I help clients in a wide range of industries and job functions navigate career change from one industry to another, one job function to another, one geography to another--and sometimes all three. I also coach clients to help them interview confidently, network effectively, earn promotions, negotiate higher salaries, and communicate more assertively in professional environments.
►►► RESUME + LINKEDIN STRATEGY + WRITING:
I work with clients in diverse industries to create compelling, modern, and salary-boosting resumes, vibrant LinkedIn profiles, and strong professional portfolios that help them land job interviews.
WHEN I'M NOT COACHING OR WRITING, MUCH OF MY TIME IS SPENT:
+ attending (or leading) webinars and speaking at industry conferences
+ completing relevant online courses and industry certifications to keep my skills sharp
+ talking to other HR subject matter experts and recruiters (I was one myself)
+ conducting research on industry trends and best practices

WHY PAY FOR A COACH?
|
MY SERVICES ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE
But coaching can be for anyone who invests in their own career development. My work helps clients land lucrative jobs and respected Board positions, earn promotions and raises, and develop stronger thought leadership and industry reputations. All of this delivers high career ROI--sometimes in a matter of weeks.
RESULTS ARE TYPICALLY AND ATYPICALLY AWESOME
While no client is typical, my clients have routinely built up their confidence, collaborative leadership skills, assertiveness, and communication competencies after working with me. Those seeking a new job have often secured salary bumps of 20%-75%, and in some cases even doubled their salaries with the right strategic moves. Other clients have landed coveted thought leadership features in the media (online, broadcast TV) and have elevated their industry status and reputation, leading to new professional and personal opportunities.
CAVEAT EMPTOR (LATIN FOR "BUYER BEWARE")
Hiring a coach is a very personal experience. You'll want to find someone who understands you. Not just your career landscape and industry lingo, but YOU. Your personality. Your vibe. It's always a good idea to do your due diligence, ask for a brief consultation, and get a feel for the coach before you end up shelling out your hard-earned money. Occasionally, clients find me after a less-than-ideal experience with a previous (cheaper) career coach or resume writer who botched their resume or caused other career headaches. Precious time was lost. So much for a "good deal."
RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
There are many career coaches and resume writers out there. As with any service, some are cheap, some expensive. Some great, some mediocre. The adage "you get what you pay for" rings true here. I encourage you to speak to a few coaches and find your best fit.
MY NORTH STAR
I aim for transparency, fairness, quality, and efficiency in all that I do--and kindness, above all. This is reflected in the fact that most of my business is through word-of-mouth referrals, and I wouldn't have it any other way. If you've come across my talks or articles, you may already know that I live by the adage: *your* success is my success.

LOGOS
(some people ask about this)
My clients have gone on to work at prestigious FORTUNE 500 corporations, soul-affirming non-profits, and hot tech startups. But here's where it gets interesting: in just as many cases, I've helped clients exit gracefully from some perfect-on-paper but actually far-from-ideal environments, and I've supported their transition to greener pastures. Where do you envision yourself thriving?
