Financial Planning & Control, Associate

Hi, I'm Ana! Well, that's not entirely true. I don't want to kick off our relationship with a half-truth. My full first name is Snježana. Because I lived and traveled all over the world, people always asked me for a simpler version - Ana. 

I work with professionals and leaders at a career crossroads: Looking to figure out what's next and relaunch their career so it finally feels right, without starting from zero.

That's you? Then we should talk. 

Because you may be experiencing that

• You're overwhelmed by all the options.
• You're smart but struggling to communicate your value. 
• You're not hearing back from companies, even if you have spent hours tweaking your resume. 

Let's change that. 

With 10+ years in Human Resources, I've been fortunate to work with many talented leaders at F500 companies and help them transition into more challenging roles. 

When I witnessed how insights from brain research helped these leaders achieve so much in little time, I realized that access to such knowledge would have saved me years of frustration when I was changing careers myself:

The confusion. The self-doubt. And that scary feeling: What if I never figure this out?

That's why I created Your Career Level Up, a coaching program combining science-backed frameworks and my practical experience running talent and recruiting programs to help you:

💡Get absolute clarity on your ideal career.
💡Gain an unfair advantage in the competitive job market.
💡Land the job you want and be awesome at it.

Sounds like this could be the right thing for you? Then drop me a DM.
