A LITTLE ABOUT ME - I am a University of Illinois graduate, CPA, with an MBA from the University of Chicago. I have been a coach for 15 years and prior to that a corporate finance leader for + 20 years, overseeing the HR, IT, and finance functions in both Fortune 100 companies and private equity firms. I made a career transition from finance to coaching after doing my own Career Exploration work. What I learned on my journey helped me develop my 1:1 Entrepreneurial Coaching for Startups Series and Career Exploration – Connecting to Your Inner GPS Series. I started this business specifically to help shorten the learning curve of those with a path similar to my own.
Sometimes you just need someone to ask the right questions and the picture will then unfold. I provide:
- Resume writing, LinkedIn profile updates and Interview Prep to job seekers who want to optimize their job search with personally branded marketing materials that shorten their journey to a new position.
- Strategic Career Planning and Career Exploration to high potential individuals seeking to advance their careers or pursue a new direction.
- Entrepreneurial coaching to startup founders who want to fine tune their business concept, create a solid foundation on which to build their business, and design a step-by-step strategic roadmap to guide their pre-launch, launch, and 1–3-year activities.
I have helped hundreds of professionals design the next chapter in their careers and transition into roles that capitalize on their strengths, skills, and interests. My coaching style has been called a blend of coaching, therapy, and tough love! I want to see you be brave! And reach whatever goals you set for yourself professionally. If you are ready to really dig deep and learn a lot about yourself, I would love to work with you! NOTE: 100% of my coaching is done by phone and email. And there is no charge for emails, etc. Thanks!
RESUME/LINKEDIN CREATION/INTERVIEW PREP
Stand Out! Get Noticed! Get Hired!
I craft personalized resumes & cover letters for clients seeking positive changes with their next career opportunity.
- Discover your unique skill matrix, you are more than just “what you do”
- Develop your professional brand and stand out from all other candidates with the same experience and education
- Change the hiring manager’s first impression from “I think he/she can do the job” to “I would like to work with someone like him/her”
A resume is your primary marketing asset & optimally will express your work history, career accomplishments, unique skill set, & aspirations. Together we explore each of these aspects, articulate your incredible value & create a professional, tailored resume that will grab a hiring manager’s attention. Imagine securing a position where the work you do is inspired by the gifts & abilities you were born with and those carefully cultivated over your career!

One resource I always yearned for contemplating a career change and starting down the path of entrepreneurship was someone I could be honest with and with whom I could talk about anything - not someone who was an investor, a friend, or an employee, but an intelligent, experienced and empathetic individual who would listen and provide me tactical and personal advice, guide me in areas that were unfamiliar to me and help me to optimize myself and fulfill my potential. I would love to fill that role for you!
CAREER EXPLORATION - CONNECTING TO YOUR INNER GPS
If you are contemplating a career change, career transition, or career pivot this is the series for you. I offer a personalized 4 session Career Exploration coaching series that explores what you could be doing based on your skill set, your passions, the way you are built (i.e. risk-averse vs daredevil, or extrovert vs introvert), the reward systems that work best for you, and your personal definitions of success (professional, financial, work/life balance, etc).
CAREER COACHING
If your current working situation feels like too much work and not enough payoff it’s time to challenge the status quo and your life-scripts that have kept, you stuck in your current position. Together we will define your unique combination of gifts and skills to expose your inner genius and embrace a career reinvention that completely aligns with your authentic self, so you can Thrive, not just Survive!
