Coaching First, Always

Before we touch resumes, LinkedIn profiles, or strategy, we slow down and get clear. We explore what’s actually driving this moment for you, including your values, strengths, patterns, and aspirations. That clarity becomes the foundation for every decision that follows, ensuring the work is grounded rather than reactive.

You are the expert on your own experience. My role isn’t to hand you answers, but to partner with you, ask thoughtful questions, and name what’s emerging so you can see it more clearly. Together, we shape a path that feels both authentic and achievable because it’s built from your insight, not someone else’s formula.

I lead from a place of curiosity, perspective, and momentum. By focusing on what’s working, what’s possible, and what no longer fits, we create forward movement that aligns with who you are now and where you want to go next.

While the work isn’t linear, it often moves through a rhythm of clarity, confidence, narrative, and strategy, held together by ongoing partnership and accountability. These elements support meaningful change, not just in your career tools, but in how you think, decide, and move through your professional life.

I bring structure to the work, but I don’t lead with a rigid formula. The work unfolds responsively, guided by judgment, partnership, and what’s most useful in the moment. While these elements often appear throughout our work together, they are not steps to complete. They are areas we return to as clarity deepens and direction takes shape.

We begin by slowing down and getting clear. We explore what’s driving this moment for you, including values, strengths, patterns, and aspirations. Before tactics or plans come into play, we focus on understanding who you are now and what you’re actually building toward. This clarity becomes the foundation for every decision that follows.

As clarity builds, confidence follows. We focus on strengthening self-trust by grounding decisions in lived experience and real strengths. We address self-doubt and limiting beliefs not by pushing through them, but by understanding where they come from and what they’re signaling. Confidence grows when your value is clear and internalized.

With greater clarity and confidence, we turn to how your story is told. This includes how you talk about your experience, impact, and direction in ways that feel true to you and resonate with the right audiences. The goal is not polish for its own sake, but language that accurately reflects who you are and where you’re headed.

Only then do we move into strategy. This may include resumes, LinkedIn positioning, networking, interview preparation, or broader career planning. Strategy is always in service of clarity, not the other way around. Plans remain flexible, adjusting as insight deepens and opportunities emerge.

Throughout the work, you have a consistent thought partner. I provide perspective, ask hard questions, help you stay oriented, and support forward movement without rushing the process. We pause to reflect, adjust, and integrate what’s emerging. You own the journey. I walk alongside you as you move forward with intention.

This approach supports meaningful progress at every stage of your career, not by forcing outcomes, but by helping you think clearly, decide well, and move forward with confidence.

I’m a Certified Master Job Search Coach (MJSC) and Certified Professional Career Coach (CPCC), bringing together rigorous coaching training with deep professional experience.

With seven years of formal coaching experience and more than twenty years in HR, I offer perspective from both sides of the table. I understand career challenges not only as a coach who partners with individuals through pivotal moments, but also as a professional who understands organizational dynamics, hiring decisions, and what truly matters inside companies.

This combination allows me to support clients with insight that is both human and informed, grounded in how careers actually unfold and how decisions are really made.

My work is structured as a coaching partnership, not a set of services. That’s intentional.

Clarity, discernment, and confident decision-making don’t follow a fixed timeline. They require space, continuity, and a relationship that can adapt as insight deepens and circumstances evolve. Because of that, I don’t offer menus or one-size-fits-all packages.

Instead, we work together in a flexible partnership designed to support you through the moment you’re in, and often beyond it.

During our complimentary consultation, we focus first on understanding what you’re navigating and what kind of support would be most useful. From there, I’ll recommend a partnership structure aligned with the depth, pace, and scope of the work, and we’ll discuss investment transparently and thoughtfully.

This is senior-level, clarity-driven coaching grounded in presence, judgment, and sustained partnership. Investment reflects the quality of attention, the level of customization, and the continuity of support you receive as decisions unfold.

Clients don’t work with me for isolated tactics. They partner with me for a steady thought partner who can slow things down when needed, challenge assumptions, name pivotal moments, and support intentional movement forward across multiple inflection points.

If you’re at a crossroads and want space to think clearly before deciding what’s next, I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation to explore whether working together makes sense.

Success in coaching is deeply personal and goes beyond checking boxes or reaching a single milestone. I focus on a few key ways to evaluate progress and impact:

I regularly check in and gather feedback to ensure clients feel supported and confident throughout their journey. Their sense of clarity and empowerment is one of the most meaningful indicators of success.

I look at tangible results, such as landing a new role, earning a promotion, launching a new venture, or achieving greater alignment in their career path. These milestones show the real-world impact of our work together.

Progress in areas like communication, confidence, personal branding, and self-advocacy reflect the deeper shifts coaching can create.

The strength of our partnership, the level of trust, and ongoing client engagement also play a vital role in measuring success.

Ultimately, success is defined by each client’s individual goals and what “fulfillment” looks like to them. I believe in using a flexible, personalized approach to celebrate progress and ensure the journey feels meaningful and impactful every step of the way.

I work with clients at meaningful career inflection points.

They’ve built something substantial and are now sitting with deeper questions that don’t have obvious answers:

What’s next for me here?
Is it time to stay, stretch, or step in a new direction?
How do I expand my influence through advisory work, thought leadership, or something of my own?
What does the next chapter actually look like, and how do I want it to feel?

These questions aren’t about urgency or escape. They’re about discernment, alignment, and making choices that reflect who you are now.

My coaching is discovery-driven and always coaching-first. Before we touch resumes, LinkedIn, or tactics of any kind, I create the space for clarity. We focus on understanding your values, strengths, and what you’re genuinely seeking at this stage, not what you think you should want.

From that clarity, confidence begins to take shape. We articulate a narrative that reflects who you are now and where you’re headed, then develop strategies that feel grounded, intentional, and aligned rather than forced.

This work isn’t about quick fixes or generic advice. It’s about steady, meaningful progress built through thoughtful partnership, intentional pacing, and decisions you can trust and stand behind.

The length of our work together depends on what you’re navigating and the depth of support that’s most useful. This work isn’t built around fixed timelines or preset stages. It unfolds based on clarity, pace, and the complexity of the decisions in front of you.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all programs, I recommend a partnership structure shaped by where you are now and the level of continuity and depth that will best support you.

The complimentary consultation is a strategic conversation to explore whether working together makes sense. It’s a space to slow things down, get oriented, and see if a longer-term partnership would be genuinely useful.

During our conversation, we’ll:

• Talk through where you are now and what you’re building toward, not just the next role, but the broader direction you’re considering

• Explore what feels unclear, stalled, or in tension between what no longer fits and what hasn’t fully taken shape

• Walk through how my discovery-driven, clarity-first approach works and what partnership can look like over time

• Assess together whether my way of working aligns with what you’re seeking at this stage

You’ll leave the conversation with greater clarity about next steps, whether that’s working together or choosing a different path. If it feels like a strong fit, I’ll outline a partnership recommendation shaped around your goals, context, and pace.

This conversation is a good fit for clients who:

• Are open to a thoughtful, long-term partnership rather than a quick fix

• Want clarity on direction before committing to tactics

• Are looking for a trusted thought partner, not transactional career services
