Working one on one with an experienced Career Coach is a powerful way to reach your career goals. Whether you’re interested in growing your career by moving up the ladder, changing careers, or have been affected by downsizing, Career Coaching is the secret sauce. Together we can strategize about your next role, put your career on the fast track, or create a completely new job search strategy. The implementation of the plan we create will include tactical action-oriented outcomes, that pinpoint the direction you should take and where I can provide the most support. We’ll also ensure that your resume and LinkedIn profile are properly branded to get you interviews!  I’ve summarized my career coaching packages below, and I can also offer custom-designed options. 

The different resume styles and their effectiveness in landing interviews is constantly changing. Did you know that only 2% of resumes result in an interview? This is a shockingly low percentage. Dusting off your old resume and just updating it is an out-of-date and ineffective strategy. Major employers today now have highly sophisticated Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), and some are now embedded with AI to screen and rank every resume. Unfortunately, if your resume does not pass through this highly technical screening process, you won’t get the opportunity to interview. Is that a chance that you’d be willing to take? Studies have shown that those who invest in a professionally written resume, increase their chances of success by 32%. As we work together to write your resume and plan your Professional Branding Campaign, we will hone in on your key accomplishments. We’ll also highlight your experience with relevant key words in order to raise your ATS rankings.

Women’s Leadership:

​

Recognizing the important role that women leaders play in driving organizational success, we’ve developed a Women’s Leadership Program. These workshops are designed to develop a leadership mindset and tap into the talents of women to promote retention and contribute to the growth of inclusive and thriving workplaces. Frequently, women lack the advantage of having several female mentors. However, when women support one another, their confidence grows as they progress within the company. This collaboration also contributes to cultivating a pipeline of experienced women in leadership. Some of the program’s workshop topics include:

​

• Forming a Leadership Persona through Public Speaking and Body Language

• How to be a Good Mentor

• What Impedes My Success

• Strategies for Empowerment

• Strategies for Empowerment with AI

*The Women’s Leadership Program is designed to be implemented together or as individual workshops.

​

* Forming a Leadership Persona, How to be a Good Mentor and Strategies for Empowerment with AI can be conducted workshop style outside of the formal women’s leadership program and includes men and women.
