Career Coaching

First there was the “Great Resignation”…then “Quiet Quitting”…now many are caught in the “Great Exhaustion”. Still others have been suddenly and unexpectedly thrust into the job hunt.

BUT you don’t have to get stuck in your search!

I’m here to help you find clarity and community in your search. I specialize in people who are seeking to change industries but are struggling to translate their skill set and unique qualifications for potential employers, as well as those seeking to collaborate across industries and disciplines.

Join me for week-long LinkedIn Sprints designed to increase your visibility on LinkedIn and to build new habits for using the platform as a networking tool. Each sprint is focused a specific community of people to maximize impact. I’m hosting sprints for job seekers, freelance creatives, the STEM community and educators this year!


One-on-One Career Coaching

Work directly with me to get support for your specific needs. Potential topics we’ll cover include resumes, cover letters, interview preparation, networking and exploring new industries. You’ll learn to use my VAST Technique© to strategically translate your skills and personal qualities to confidently market yourself in a new field.

Note, if you’re looking for someone to simply write your resume or cover letter for you, this option is not for you. I strongly believe in the importance of providing clients strategies on how to do this work for themselves (that whole “teach a person to fish vs giving them a meal” concept).

Clients schedule two, 1-hour virtual sessions initially and can add additional meetings as needed.

Initial 2-session package: $210

Additional 1-hour sessions: $110/session

Comments from past attendees

  • I’ve seen quite a few LinkedIn sessions before but very few that go beyond “101,” so I really appreciated the deep-dive!
  • Thank you for a great session… I am always looking for new ways to connect with people, given that the majority of my job has been done in the pandemic, and your advice was wonderful.
