Hi, I’m Phoebe Gavin
A career coach who helps women and people of color build careers they don’t have to recover from. My work blends strategy, structure, and emotional intelligence. I’ve helped over a thousand clients across dozens of industries get unstuck, level up, and move forward (even in difficult markets like this one).
I’ve also written for a number of internationally-respected news outlets, as well as being featured in a Netflix documentary and on a range of podcasts.
In addition, I have consulted an leadership & organizational strategy and presented on career development to clients including The Online News Association (ONA), ParentsTogether, Stanford University and UC Berkeley.

"Take Your Pills: Xanax"
It's important to me to help the world understand that anxiety is normal and healthy, but the way we deal with it often isn't.
We need as many tools in our toolbox as we can to navigate this wild world we live in and the anxiety it creates. I'm glad Xanax is one of them, but as the documentary examines, it's too often the only one.

What's it Like to Work With Me?
You don't have to do this career stuff alone.
Targeted career strategies and tactics that get results.
Whether it’s enhancing your resume, improving your interviews, or navigating salary negotiations, I provide personalized insights and actions that pave the way for swift, tangible progress. Together, we'll build your career strategy instincts so you can lean on them anytime you're ready to make a move.
Emotionally intelligent coaching that acknowledges all the feels.
The perfect plan is worthless if emotional blocks - like anxiety, insecurity, or overwhelm - keep you from taking action. Together, we'll explore your emotional landscape and develop targeted coping mechanisms to help you get better at overcoming negative emotions. It's natural for work to make you feel things, but your emotions don't have to be in charge.
Comprehensive career strategy to support you.
From resume templates and sample follow-up emails to career planning worksheets and negotiation checklists, I've developed a complete library of materials to help you with the tactical side of your career transition.
