Queen of the Pivot 👑 I help people leverage their expertise to change to a new industry. Follow me for tips and ideas. DM me your questions!

The rules of work have changed. The linear career path is dead.

Whether you're an experienced executive feeling stuck in a "perfectly good job" or facing an unexpected transition, one thing is clear: you're craving something more meaningful than what you've been doing.

You've done everything right: 
• Climbed the corporate ladder 
• Built expertise others recognize 
• Achieved financial success

But now you're facing new realities: 
• Industry disruption and uncertainty 
• Concerns about ageism and relevance
• A growing desire for work that truly fulfills you

The problem? You're looking at 5-10 more years of traditional work, but the thought of spending that time in your current situation feels like serving a sentence. You don't know how to leverage your hard-earned experience to create your next chapter—whether that's a new industry, consulting, or something entirely different.

What if those final working years could be your most fulfilling? What if instead of counting down to retirement, you were energized by work that doesn't feel like work?

I've been there. I've successfully pivoted across multiple industries:  Teaching → Publishing → Mortgage → Entertainment → Entrepreneurship → Education

Each transition taught me that confidence is the key to a successful pivot—and confidence comes from having a clear strategy.

My mission: Help accomplished executives like you stop feeling stuck and start taking control of your professional future. No matter what changes are happening around you, you have more power than you realize.

Your best chapter doesn't have to be behind you.

Andrea Wade, MBA

A while back, I found myself at a crossroads.I wanted my next role to check three key boxes:
✔ Work with a leader I respected (or better yet, was inspired by)
✔ Be part of a company whose mission excited me
✔ Fit into a culture where people actually thrive. 
Then I realized – finding all three was like looking for a needle in a wheat field. So, I stopped looking and started reflecting. What I really love—the work that fires me up—is helping leaders and teams find their power and perform at their potential. 
Across my career, whether I was turning around a struggling nonprofit, helping to scale a cybersecurity firm, working on the Olympics, or running my own business, I kept seeing the same issue:
➡️ Companies often put good people in leadership roles without the right training or support.
➡️ Those leaders struggle, which leads to frustration, turnover, and wasted potential.
➡️ The business suffers, and no one wins. But when companies get it right—when they develop strong leaders, put people in roles that fit their strengths, and create a culture where teams perform. That’s where the magic happens. 

How I Help Today, I partner with CEOs, founders, and leadership teams of mid-size companies to:
🔹 Build better leaders – Who inspire, engage, and have the skills to lead.
🔹 Put the right people in the right roles – When you play to their strengths, everyone wins.
🔹 Create a culture that attracts & keeps top talent – No more revolving door of employees. 

I do this through leadership coaching, advisory, and fractional executive support, powered by data-driven tools like leadership diagnostics, psychometric assessments, and culture analytics. Leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about unlocking potential. When you get that right, performance, retention, and engagement follow naturally. 

Curious where to start? If you’re wondering whether your leadership team is aligned or your culture is working for—or against—you, try my quick Leadership Alignment Diagnostic (no cost). It’s a short series of questions that reveals where your biggest opportunities lie.👉 Book a complimentary 20-minute call, or message me “FindMyMana” to start the diagnostic.
