Career & Life Coaching Services That Get You The Results You Really Want

As a certified PCC coach, I provide the structure and accountability for exploring the changes you want to make so you actually make them. With a decade+ of experience coaching career transitions, professional confidence, and workplace visibility challenges, I've supported hundreds of clients in creating meaningful change.

Below are real results from client partnerships - proof that the right coaching approach creates lasting transformation.

From Corporate Burnout & People-Pleasing to Purposeful Work Day

A senior-level professional in her early 40s contacted me after reading my post on career exhaustion vs. career burnout. She was 99% sure she was on her way to burnout but scared to admit it. She was paid really well (aka golden handcuffs) and didn’t want to seem like she couldn’t keep up with her peers. Her gut kept telling her that something had to change.

Throughout our coaching, we focused on clarifying core values and strengths, defining success on her terms (something she had never done) and what was enough (in terms of salary and work accolades), understanding what work situations/environments energized her (vs. drained her), and how to create boundaries that protected her well-being without sacrificing her career. We also explored how to advocate for changes within her current role before considering a complete exit. She realized that small, strategic shifts in how she approached her work and communicated her needs could create the breathing room she desperately needed.

Results:

  1. Negotiated a 4-day work week while maintaining full salary and benefits

  2. Reduced work-related anxiety through values-aligned boundary setting

  3. Gained clarity on personal definition of success beyond external validation and peer comparison

  4. Improved energy levels and sleep quality by implementing new boundaries

  5. Strengthened relationship with manager through proactive communication about workload and priorities

  6. Discovered her "enough number" for both salary and recognition, eliminating the constant chase for more

  7. Developed sustainable work practices that prevented burnout without requiring a career change

A high-achieving marketing director in her late 40s reached out after years of climbing the corporate ladder left her feeling empty despite her success. She had devoted every ounce of energy to work for two decades, earning promotions and recognition, but couldn't shake the feeling that she was "winning at the wrong game." When someone asked about her hobbies at a networking event, she realized that she couldn't name a single one. Her entire identity was wrapped up in her job title and professional achievements.

Throughout our coaching, we explored what she found genuinely interesting beyond work demands, revisited childhood curiosities and dreams she'd abandoned for "practical" career moves, and examined what ambition could look like when applied to her whole life, not just her resume. We worked on giving herself permission to try things without them becoming "optimized projects" or side hustles. Most importantly, we redefined success to include joy, creativity, and personal fulfillment - not just professional milestones.

Results:

  • Rediscovered her love of pottery and joined a local ceramics studio for pure enjoyment

  • Started hosting bi-monthly dinner parties with friends, rekindling relationships she'd neglected

  • Began learning Spanish through a community college class—something she'd wanted to do since college

  • Set firm work boundaries including no emails after 7pm and protected weekend time

  • Developed a "life ambitions" list alongside her career goals, treating both with equal importance

  • Improved mood about work paradoxically by being more present and creative when energized by outside interests

  • Gained clarity on what "enough" looked like professionally so she could invest energy elsewhere

  • Deepened her relationship with her partner through shared activities and present-moment connection

From Career-Only Ambition to Whole-Life Ambition

A software engineering manager reached out after being passed over for a senior director role - the third time in two years. Despite consistently delivering exceptional results and mentoring high-performing teams, she watched less experienced (and often male) colleagues get promoted around her. Her manager's feedback was always positive, but when it came to visibility with leadership, she was practically invisible. She described herself as someone who "let the work speak for itself," but was starting to begrudgingly realize that great work without strategic self-promotion often goes unnoticed and unrewarded.

Throughout our coaching, we developed a personalized self-promotion roadmap that felt authentic to her introverted communication style, optimized her LinkedIn profile to showcase her technical leadership and team development skills, and created a strategic networking plan focused on building genuine relationships rather than transactional connections. We also worked on reframing self-promotion from "bragging" to "raising all ships"—helping her see that sharing her wins was actually serving her team and organization by highlighting what was possible. Most importantly, we practiced articulating her impact in business terms that resonated with executive leadership.

Results:

  • Promoted to Senior Director of Engineering within 5 months of implementing her visibility strategy

  • Increased LinkedIn profile views and new connections in her industry

  • Invited to speak at 3 major tech conferences (after learning how to pitch herself)

  • Featured in her company's internal newsletter

  • Created a podcast profile so she can pitch hosts for podcast interviews

  • Built relationships with 3 C-suite executives through strategic internal networking

  • Received 2 external job offers from companies who found her through her enhanced online presence

  • Gained confidence to share wins in real-time rather than waiting for annual reviews to highlight her impact

From Quiet Achiever to Recognized Leader

An operations tech leader with 15+ years of experience contacted me in frustration after months of job searching with zero interview requests. Despite her impressive track record of streamlining processes, managing cross-functional teams, and delivering cost savings in the millions, her applications seemed to disappear into a black hole. She had been using the same resume format for years, simply adding new roles to the top, and couldn't understand why companies weren't responding. The silence was crushing her confidence and making her question whether her experience was actually valuable in today's job market.

Throughout our partnership, we completely rebuilt her resume from the ground up with ATS-friendly formatting and keyword optimization, transformed her generic job descriptions into quantified achievement statements that showcased her business impact, and gave her LinkedIn profile a complete makeover to align with her target roles and attract recruiter attention. We also developed a strategic job search approach that included identifying her ideal companies and roles, customizing applications for each opportunity, and leveraging her network more effectively. Most importantly, we worked on reframing her narrative to highlight her unique value proposition and the specific problems she solves for employers.

Results:

  • Tripled her interview requests within the first month of using her new resume

  • Received 6 interview requests in 6 weeks compared to zero in the previous 6 months

  • Landed an operations director role at a growing tech company after just 2 months

  • Negotiated a 200% salary increase from her previous role, plus a relocation benefit and way better benefits

  • Generated interest from 2 recruiters who found her through her optimized LinkedIn profile

  • Gained confidence in articulating her value during interviews and networking conversations

  • Reduced job search stress dramatically by finally seeing tangible results from her efforts

  • Built a reusable system for customizing applications that she can use throughout her career

From Side Hustle Stress to Sustainable Entrepreneur

Life > Work

This is your spacious invitation to start a new relationship with work and yourself.

Every person’s personal development coaching journey is going to be different. Here’s an idea of what we may cover:

Understanding why you think and do (or not do) things.

As the saying goes – what got you here, might not get you there. A lot of the stuff you do - or avoid doing - isn’t random. It’s the result of years of conditioning (cultural, organizational, and societal), past experiences, and the stories you’ve been told (and keep telling yourself). But here’s the thing: those stories? They’re not always true, and they could be holding you back.

In our coaching, we’re going to dig into what’s really driving your choices, habits, and fears. You’ll get to understand what’s going on beneath the surface, so you can stop living on autopilot and start making choices that actually reflect who you are and what you really want.

How you define success and overcoming the ‘I’ll Feel Successful When’ mindset.

Success isn’t one-size-fits-all. The version of success you’ve been changing might not even be yours. Maybe it’s something you’ve been told you want. In our work together, we’ll get clear on what success actually means to you - not what society, your job, or anyone else says it should be.

Because here’s the kicker: if you don’t define success for yourself, you’ll keep hustling for something that’ll never feel satisfying. Once we figure out what really drivesyou, you can finally go after goals that matter and let the rest go.

Confidence in talking about yourself (without the cringe).

Here’s what I like about self-promotion: it’s efficient! Because you’re not wasting time waiting around for people to notice your hard work and skills! (BTW - this strategy rarely works.)

If you’re not out there owning your skills and expertise, no one’s going to do it for you.

Self-promotion shouldn’t feel like a bad informercial. If talking yourself up makes you uncomfortable, there’s likely something deeper going on - whether it’s fear of judgment or not fully believing you deserve recognition. (This is super normal.)

In our sessions, we can tackle this discomfort head-on. You’ll learn how to confidently promote yourself in a way that feels natural and true to who you are - no forced bragging here. You’ll finally be able to stand behind your skills and talk about what you bring to the table without feeling like you want to crawl under your desk.

Knowing your strengths and how to use them.

Most of us overlook our real strengths because they’re second nature—we don’t even notice them. They’re just “how we do things.” But here’s the deal: if you don’t recognize your own expertise, how can you expect anyone else to?

We’ll dig deep into what you’re really good at and make sure you’re marketing the skills you actually want to use. The biggest trap? Leaning on old skills you’re tired of, just because they’re familiar. That’s how you end up in the same dead-end roles. Let’s make sure your next move aligns with where you want to go—not where you’ve been.

Revamping your resume and LinkedIn profile.

Your resume and LinkedIn profile are your personal marketing tools—yet so many people treat them like afterthoughts. They wait until it’s absolutely urgent to update these crucial assets (and berate themselves for not being able to remember past details).

While I offer career marketing writing services outside of coaching sessions, for some clients, it can make sense to bring this topic into our coaching.

New ideas for networking that doesn’t suck.

Networking often feels like a chore, a necessary evil we only tackle when job hunting. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We’re flipping the script on networking, transforming it from a dreaded task into an exciting opportunity to meet interesting people every day.

I’ll help you discover fresh, authentic ways to connect within your industry that actually feel enjoyable. No more awkward small talk or forced meetups. Instead, we’ll explore genuine interactions that spark real relationships. Let’s turn networking into a fun part of your routine—because when you enjoy it, the connections will flow naturally.

Confidence with negotiation.

You negotiate every single day whenther you know it or not. You’re likely a great negotiator for everyone else but when it comes to advocating for yourself at work, at home, in your life, you want to run the other way. You don’t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable or think you’re greedy and self-serving. These aren’t the only options, I promise. Negotiation is a skill you can build and I can help. You don’t have to accept what is first offered to you.
