"My job search isn’t working"
What We'll Do: Audit what you’ve done, identify what needs to change, and rebuild the pieces together via a full, end‑to‑end system: goals, search strategy, materials, networking, interviewing, negotiation, even a plan for the first 90 days in your new job!
What You'll Get: A focused job-search strategy that leads to interviews, not endless applications.
"I was laid off…or afraid it’s coming"
What We'll Do: Move fast: triage the basics, audit your approach, and prioritize the highest‑leverage actions so you get a steady plan, quick wins, clear momentum, and a competitive offer without self‑sabotaging under pressure.
What You'll Get: A clear plan after a layoff (or ahead of one) so you’re making smart, calm decisions instead of reactive ones.
"I need a career change"
What We'll Do: Inventory your career, strengths, and patterns; pressure‑test directions, design a research + networking plan to close knowledge gaps and then focus on job‑search execution - or design a bridge job if a direct leap isn’t viable.
What You'll Get: A credible path into your next role or field, with a narrative that makes sense to hiring managers.
"I want a raise or promotion"
What We'll Do: Clarify your “why me, why now,” inventory achievements to craft a tight narrative, power‑map stakeholders, plan timing, and rehearse key conversations. You’ll also get ongoing tactical support between meetings to adjust based on what actually happens.
What You'll Get: A stronger case for a raise, promotion, or expanded scope, backed by clear impact and timing.
"I’m struggling with my boss/coworkers"
What We'll Do: Work runs on incentives and power structures, not personal closeness, so we’ll map motivations and adjust your approach accordingly. We’ll also analyze behaviors, identify drivers (status, fear, incentives), and script moves that align with how work actually works.
What You'll Get: An implementable strategy for difficult workplace dynamics, including clear boundaries and a grounded decision to stay, renegotiate, or leave.
The Starter Session is a fast, focused way for you to feel sure that you’re making the right move. In this 30-minute coaching session, I’ll work directly with you to clarify what’s actually going on in your career and what it would take to fix it.
You’ll leave 100% certain that I’m the right person to help you and that my 90 Day Career Lab is the program to help you resolve your work crisis.
In fact, I'm so confident that you will end your session excited to join the Career Lab that I'll even credit your $99 Starter Session fee towards the cost of the program!
...and if I can't help to fix your situation for whatever reason, your Starter Session can be fully refunded, no questions asked....
