I've helped over 300 professionals break through salary ceilings and land life-changing positions at Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, and other top companies.

Here's what makes my approach different:

Most job seekers waste months applying to hundreds of jobs with no results. My clients land multiple offers in 6-12 weeks using "The Simple Success Method" - my distilled 5-step system that focuses only on what gets you hired. After 300+ successful placements, I've learned that executive-level results come from doing the RIGHT 5 things perfectly, not overwhelming yourself with complicated processes.

✓ 300+ clients placed at dream companies  
✓ Average salary increase: 40-80%  
✓ 300M+ content views helping job seekers  
✓ Featured in Forbes, Fast Company, Business Insider  
✓ Built my own 7-figure business using these exact strategies
✓ Ranked the top job search coach on LinkedIn (#1 in the U.S. and Worldwide by Favikon)  

What you get in Career Leap:

→ Exclusive access to proprietary AI job search tool  
→ Group coaching with other high-performers

→ Complete confidentiality throughout your search  

This isn't for everyone. I only work with senior-level individual contributors and people leaders who are serious about making a major career move and ready to invest in themselves.

My guarantee: If you don't land a $200K-$500K role within 90 days, we'll keep working with you until you do. That's how confident I am in this system.

More about me: Currently living in Chicago. I worked at LinkedIn for 4 years helping Fortune 500 companies hire top talent, then founded my own 7-figure recruiting start-up.

73% of employers expect you to negotiate.
55% of professionals don’t.

That’s a costly silence.

Negotiation isn’t about being difficult.

It’s about showing up prepared and knowing your value.

Here's how to do it right:

1. Research what’s fair
↳ Know the going rate for your role and level.

2. Know your impact
↳ Have proof of what you’ve led, built, or improved.

3. Define your range
↳ Set your target and your bottom line.

4. Look beyond salary
↳ Include PTO, bonuses, equity, flexibility.

5. Practice out loud
↳ Once is better than never. Confidence shows.

Common missteps to avoid:

🚫 Accepting an offer on the spot
🚫 Leading with your lowest number
🚫 Ignoring the full compensation picture

Smarter ways to respond:

🗨 “Based on what I bring, let's revisit the package.”
🗨 “What flexibility is there in total compensation?”
🗨 “Thanks. Can I take some time to review this?”

Coaching 100s of people into roles they actually love 
has taught me: 

You don’t get what you deserve.
You get what you negotiate.

Your new boss is expecting it.
You just have to be ready.

🔖 Save this for when the offer comes in.
📤 Send it to someone who’s due for a raise.

I see people spend 20 hours perfecting their resume.

Then blow the interview in 20 seconds.

After coaching hundreds of professionals into $200K+ roles, I've seen the same pattern:

They know WHAT to say.
They don't know HOW to say it.

Here's the truth:
AI is a huge advantage for jobseekers.
It's replacing outdated interview prep.
Making it way better.

The people landing dream roles aren't smarter.
They're using AI to practice scenarios you'll actually face.

Take this prompt that helped a client land a VP role at Microsoft:

"My potential weakness is [X]. Create an authentic response that shows self-awareness, growth mindset, and proactive improvement. Include specific actions I've taken."

Or this one that generated a $40K higher offer:

"I'm interviewing for [role] at [company]. Market rate is $[X]. Generate 3 counter-offer data points and negotiation phrases that maintain the relationship while maximizing value."

These aren't generic templates.
They're precision tools for high-stakes conversations.

While others memorize canned answers, you're building dynamic responses.

While they hope for easy questions, you're ready for curveballs.

While they accept first offers, you're negotiating with data.

The gap between good and great isn't talent.
It's preparation.

And preparation is now 10x easier with AI.

Your competition is still using 2010 strategies for 2026 opportunities.

That's your advantage.

Every interview has predictable moments:
• The weakness question
• The salary discussion  
• The "why should we hire you"
• The cultural fit probe

Master these moments and you'll dramatically increase your chances of landing the offer.

Doing well in interviews isn’t about memorizing answers.
It’s about preparing for the moments that actually decide offers.

That’s the work we do inside my Career Leap Job Search Accelerator.
I work with a handful of professionals each month who are targeting $200K–$500K roles and want to prepare at a higher level.

If that sounds like you, fill out the short form in the featured section of my profile to book a strategy call to learn more.

You don’t get what you deserve.
You get what you negotiate.
And most people negotiate poorly.

Staying silent can cost you up to $1.5 million over your career.

After coaching hundreds of professionals into $200k+ roles, here’s what I’ve learned:

Most people don’t get underpaid because they lack experience.
They get underpaid because they use language that weakens their leverage.

One weak phrase can cost you $50k+ instantly…and that compounds over time.

❌ Lower raises
❌ Smaller bonuses
❌ Less equity

Your negotiation language sets the baseline for everything that follows.

If you catch yourself saying things like “I’m flexible on compensation,” stop right there.

Here are 3 powerful phrase swaps that changed the game for my clients:

❌ Never: “I just really need this job.”
✅ Instead: “I’m excited about the opportunity and want to ensure compensation aligns with the value I bring.”

❌ Never: “I’m currently making X at my job.”
✅ Instead: “Based on market data for similar roles, I’m seeing a range of X–Y. How does that align with your budget?”

❌ Never: “I’d be willing to take less to get started.”
✅ Instead: “I’m very interested in this position and would like to work together to finalize the compensation.”

See the difference?

You’re not being difficult.
You’re being clear.

You’re not demanding more.
You’re defining your worth.

Weak phrases cost you for decades.
Strong language changes everything.

📌 Negotiation is just one piece of the bigger picture. Inside my Career Leap Accelerator, I help sr. level ICs and people leaders position themselves for high-level roles and navigate interviews, offers, and comp strategically. 

If you’re targeting a $200K+ role and want support at that level, fill out the short form in my Featured section and, if it’s a fit, we can talk.

I can tell when someone's networking out of desperation.

So can everyone else.

Here's the pattern I see after coaching 300+ people:

Most people only reach out when they need something.

They lead with what they want, not what they offer.

They disappear the second they land a role.

Then 24 months later? They're back. And it's obvious.

Look - if you need a job right now, you still need to network. I get it.

But HOW you do it makes all the difference.

The people landing $200K+ roles (even when they're actively searching)?

They network differently.

They still give value even while asking for help.

They're genuinely curious about the other person.

They build real relationships, not transactional connections.

Things like:
→ Targeting weak ties (research shows 70% of jobs come through loose connections)
→ Asking for advice instead of "are you hiring?" (opens way more doors)
→ Mastering the 30-minute coffee chat framework that feels like a conversation, not an interview

I put together 10 specific strategies in the graphic below 👇

Whether you're happily employed or actively searching, these work.

The difference is: one group builds relationships as insurance. The other builds them as lifelines.

Both work. One's just a lot less stressful.

Start today: Pick 3 people you haven't talked to in 6+ months and send them something useful.

An article. A congrats on a win. A simple "thinking of you.”

No ask. Just value. 

That's how you build a network that's there when you actually need it.

📌 P.S. This is exactly the kind of strategic networking I help clients build inside my Job Search Accelerator. We focus on outreach that compounds over time and leads to senior-level opportunities.

If you’re targeting a $200K–$500K role and want to approach your job search more intentionally, fill out the short form in my Featured section and if it’s a fit, we’ll talk.

Most candidates lose interviews even when their answers are “right.”

Here’s why.

Good candidates just answer questions.

The ones who get hired answer what's really being asked.

Coaching 100s of professionals into roles they love has taught me:

Every interview question has a hidden concern behind it.

Here's how to translate the questions into what they actually want to know:

❌ "Tell me about yourself."
✅ Can you connect your story to this role?

❌ "Why should we hire you?"
✅ What makes you stand out from everyone else?

❌ "Why are you leaving your current role?"
✅ Are you moving toward growth, or running from problems?

❌ "What's your greatest weakness?"
✅ Do you know your gaps and are you actively improving?

❌ "Tell me about a challenge you faced."
✅ Will you fix problems or just complain?

❌ "How do you handle pressure?"
✅ Will you deliver or fall apart when things get crazy?

❌ "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
✅ Will you stick around if we invest in you?

❌ "What are your salary expectations?"
✅ Are we aligned on compensation?

❌ "Do you have any questions for us?"
✅ Did you research us, or could we be any company?

❌ "We'll be in touch."
✅ I haven't decided. Your follow-up could tip the scale.

And remember:
Great interviews aren't about giving perfect answers.

They're about showing you understand what really matters to them.

If you can hear the concern behind the question and speak to that....

You'll stop sounding like every other candidate.

And start sounding like the only candidate.

📌 P.S. Interview prep isn’t about memorizing answers. It’s about knowing how to think in the room. If you want support building that skill and targeting higher-level roles, check the Featured section of my profile for details on how I work with clients.

 What_Hiring_Managers_(Actually)_Mean

Wise words for those considering a change.

I took a pay cut to move into a new industry.

The result?

12 months later I 3x'd my previous salary.

4 years later, another 2x increase.

Worked for world-changing companies.

Met smart, incredible friends, mentors, colleagues.

Gained skills to start my own business and help others with their careers.

It was scary at first but it was an intelligent risk that paid off.

That was my choice but there are no "right" career paths.

What’s important is you do what’s best for you. 

Some questions to think about if you’re considering a change:

↳ What drives you? Are you chasing it in your current job?

↳ Long-term goals vs. current path - do they match up?

↳ Are you ready to leave your comfort zone for something new?

↳ How would you feel looking back in 5 years if you stayed in your current role versus making a change? What regrets might you have either way?

↳ What skills and experiences from your current role could transfer to your target industry in unexpected ways?

Whatever you decide...

Just make sure you're running your own race.

Not someone else's.

🏃

I’ve had jobs that look great on paper but still felt like I was in the wrong role. 

The smartest career move you can make this year?

Aligning your ambition with your energy.

If you're crushing goals but feeling completely off-track, you're not broken.

You're just misaligned.

I see this all the time with people “doing well”

Great title. Good money. Totally drained.

They think they need to blow up their career and start over.

But that's not it.

You don't need a career overhaul. You need realignment.

There's a Japanese concept called Ikigai - it means "reason for being."

It's basically the intersection of what you're great at, what energizes you, what pays well, and what fits your life.

I've adapted it into a career framework I use with clients to find that sweet spot.

It's four overlapping questions:

→ What are you trusted to deliver? (Your zone of mastery)
→ What would you do even if it didn't pay? (What drives you)
→ What's actually in demand? (Market reality)
→ What fits your life right now? (Not just your ambition)

The magic happens at the intersection.

That's where you get focus, clarity, and motivation without burning out.

I broke down the full framework in the graphic below 👇

Look at it. See where you're strong. Notice where you're missing.

That gap? That's what's making you feel off.

Everyone talks about growing your network. Building connections, Adding more people. But you know what has the quickest ROI.......?

Reconnecting with everyone you already know.

And for some reason people always skip this step 🤷‍♀️ 

They think networking means meeting NEW people.

So they ignore the 200+ connections they already have who actually know them, trust them, like them and would like to help them!

Here's what I ALWAYS tell my clients:

Before you start cold messaging strangers on LinkedIn, reach out to every single person in your network and I mean EVERYONE!

Not just the people doing the job you want.
Not just the people at your target companies.
But everyone.

Old colleagues, school mates, expat friends, family friends, intern contacts, alumni, everyone

Because here's the thing:

You don't know who knows who.....

Your network is like Varys in Game of Thrones.

He had "little birds" everywhere - eyes and ears on the ground feeding him information.

And that's what your network can do for you, they can feed you information

That former colleague in marketing? Her best friend is hiring in finance.
That guy from your old team? He just heard his company is opening a new department.
That connection who moved to another industry? She knows someone at your target company.

The quickest wins come from warm introductions and your existing network is full of them.

Stop building new connections.
Start leveraging the ones you already have.

You'll be amazed how fast things move when people actually know you need help.

So get out the little black and 
Send the message. Make the call. Get coffee.

My first day back at work and I'm sick as a dog. This is NOT how I wanted to start the year. 🙈 

I had two amazing weeks off and during that time goals got written, products were mapped out. I had a crystal-clear plan for hitting the ground running!

Then Sunday after fever and brain fog hit me like a freight train. 

😭 All my plans to start the year kicking! Ruined

Honestly? Life really doesn't give a f*ck about my plans.

So here's what I'm doing instead: resting this week, and picking things up properly when I can actually function.

And why does this matter for you?? 

You probably started this year fired up. New job goals. Promotion plans. Fresh energy.

The New Year, New You energy is real right now.

But something WILL go sideways. Maybe not this week, maybe not next month. But at some point, it will. 

A project gets cancelled. A hiring freeze hits. You get sick. A personal crisis emerges.

The obstacle isn't the problem.

How you respond is everything.

Will you give up and decide it's "just not meant to be"?
Will you white-knuckle through and refuse to adapt?
Or will you adjust your plan without abandoning your goal?

That choice, the one you make in that frustrating, disappointing moment, is what determines where you end up in December.

So when your curve ball hits (and it will):
Don't catastrophise it ❌
Don't ignore it ❌
Don't treat it like failure ❌

You knew it was coming, so it shouldn't be a surprise.  Accept it, adjust and keep moving.

Your plan was never going to survive 2026 intact anyway.

But your resilience will 💪

Ever switched jobs only to face the same crap elsewhere? If so, how do you know if it's your job or company that the REAL problem?

Before you update your LinkedIn profile (again), let's dig a bit deeper to figure out what's really going on...

The Job-Hopping Trap
How many times have you thought:
🙌 "A new job will fix everything!"
🙌 "The grass is greener on the other side!"
🙌 "Any change is good change!"

Only to find out that:
🤦‍♂️The new job didn't fix everything
🤦‍♂️The grass wasn’t actually greener
🤦‍♂️You're dealing with the same old BS, just with a different logo

2026 is the year you're going to break that cycle!  

It's time to get curious about your career

We're looking for misalignments in four key areas:
1. Values 🧭
Do the company's values match yours?
Are you proud to tell people where you work?
Does the company walk the talk or just have nice posters?

2. Interests 🎨
Does your work excite you... at least sometimes?
Are you curious about your field, or just counting down to 5 PM?
Do you ever find yourself in a "flow" state at work?

3. Skills 🛠️
Are you using your best skills regularly?
Do you have opportunities to learn and grow?
Are your talents recognized and valued?

4. Life Priorities 🏠
Does your job allow for the lifestyle you want?
Is there flexibility for your non-work commitments?
Can you see yourself maintaining this balance long-term?

The Diagnosis
For each area, rate your current situation on a scale of 1-10

😊 If most areas are 7+: You might just need some tweaks in your current role
😐 If you're seeing lots of 4-6: Time for a serious chat with your manager about changes.
😫 Mostly 3 or below? It might be time to look elsewhere - but now you know what to look for!

Once you've identified the misalignments, you can start to make targeted changes

Remember - New Doesn't Always Mean Better

It's easy to think a new job will fix everything, but unless you've done this deeper analysis, you might find yourself right back here in 6 months

So before you jump, take the time to figure out what really needs to change

Your future self will thank you for it!


#CareerAdvice #JobSatisfaction #WorkLifeAlignment

You can't outrun yourself - trust me I tried! I left school in 2000. That was 26 years ago!!!! 

For most of those years, I kept myself distracted.

Whenever that uncomfortable feeling rose up, that idea that there was more out there for me I'd distract myself

Book a holiday, move houses (we moved 6 times in 6 years!). At one point we were seriously considering moving to Australia!

But then it hit me.

I was considering moving my entire life to the other side of the world... to avoid a feeling.

Because no matter where I went or what I bought, that feeling always came back.

That's when I said 'no more'

And the moment I stopped running and I faced those feelings I finally started to get clear on what I wanted from my career and my life.

Not only did I get clear on WHAT I wanted, but I also got was clear on WHO I was

And that changed everything for more

No more second-guessing myself
I knew exactly what to say yes to (and what to ignore)
I made decisions in weeks that used to take me months
I stopped needing the next big thing to be 'the one'

I finally felt like I was in the right place.

And I'm still there and it's awesome! 

That's what clarity gives you.

Not some vague "feel better" promise. But a concrete framework to make career decisions from. 

So you stop wasting years (and money) on distractions that are never going to solve the real problem.

Here's my question as we head into 2026:

What are you running from? And what would your career look like if you finally knew where you were going?

If you prepare like this for your next interview, odds are you'll land your next job

You've all probably been asked: 
"Tell me about yourself"
"Why are you leaving your current job?"
"Why do you want to work here?"
"What are your salary expectations?"

You shouldn't be starting from scratch every time

Instead, try this approach:
👉 Perfect Your Basics: Have solid answers ready for these common questions. Just tweak them slightly for each company and role.

👉 Learn from Experience: After each interview, take a few minutes to write down the questions you were asked, make it your own question inventory! Then check; Which ones did you handle well? Which ones need work? Which ones totally threw you?

👉 Create Better Answers: If you're applying for similar jobs, the questions are going to be pretty similar. Use this to your advantage! 

👉 Build on What Works: Instead of completely redoing your prep each time, keep going through that list you made and tweaking your answers. Small tweaks can make a big difference.

If you're focused in your job search, most positions you're interviewing for will be similar, so the questions will be similar and the answer's they are looking for will be similar!

You don't need to reinvent the wheel

Learn from each interview and keep building on that knowledge

This approach not only saves time, but also helps you improve with every interview.

Want to level up your career? 

Don't ask for permission instead make moves! 

Sometimes you've got to take what you want, instead of waiting for people to hand it over to you

Scenario A: 
The 'Please Sir, Can I Have Some More?' Approach:
"Hi boss, I'd like more responsibility. Can you help me with this?"

Scenario B: 
The 'I'm a Goddamn Rockstar' Approach:
"Hi Boss, I've been thinking about my development plan and I really want to level up in X. I've spoken with the team in Department Y, and they've got a project coming up that covers that topic. I've spoken with Jane and she is happy for me to shadow her for a just 2 hours a week. I'll make sure it doesn't interfere with my current work. Plus, once I'm done, I'll be a pro at X, which aligns perfectly with our team goals!"

Can you spot the difference? 

In Scenario B, you've: 
✅ Done your homework 
✅ Found a specific opportunity 
✅ Considered the impact on your current role 
✅ Aligned it with team goals 
✅ Basically gift-wrapped the whole thing for your manager

Is it guaranteed to work? Nope. 

But this is what you have done:
- Taken a ton of work off your manager's plate
- Shown how proactive and driven you are
- Demonstrated that you're a strategic thinker

When my team members would do this, it blew me away

It made me want to move mountains to help them succeed! 

So, next time you want something in your career, don't ask

Instead, make it happen!

What's one thing you're going to take charge of this week?

How many jobs did you apply to last year? How many interviews did you get?
If you don't know, that's a problem and here's why...

I created a free Job Search Audit Workbook to help you fix it, but first, let me explain why this matters!

Most people just know they applied to "a lot" and it "didn't really work."

But that's not data. That's a feeling.

And feelings won't get you hired.

I know, I know, when things aren't great, we'd rather bury our head in the sand and make a rough guess.

But the fact is

If you do the same thing this year, you'll get the same results.

Applied to 300 jobs with a 2% response rate last year? You'll get 2% this year too.

Unless you change something.

And you can't change what you won't measure.

So here's what I want you to do this week:
Pull up your application history and answer these questions: 
→ How many applications did you actually send? 
→ What was your conversion rate at each stage? 
→ Which roles got responses vs. crickets? 
→ What methods actually moved the needle?

The Job Search Audit Workbook I created walks you through exactly how to: ✓ Pull your real numbers (not feelings) 
✓ Identify what's working vs. what's wasting your time 
✓ Spot the patterns you're missing 
✓ Fix your strategy before you send another application

It's the same framework I use with my private clients.

It takes 20 minutes and could save you 6 months of spinning your wheels.

How to turn your next job rejection into a job offer.......


Rejections don't always mean "no," sometimes they just mean "no for right now." 

And as someone who worked in recruitment for over a decade I can tell you that reconnecting with promising candidates from past interviews saves SO much time and energy compared to starting a new search from scratch

That is was always my first priority

So make sure to follow these steps and make sure you're the first person they call when that new opportunity comes around! 

1. Change Your Perspective
- Remember: If you've made it through several interview rounds, the company saw potential in you.
- A rejection today could lead to an offer tomorrow.

2. Follow Up Effectively
- After receiving a rejection, take these important steps:
- Send a thoughtful follow-up note to everyone you met during the interview process.
- Express thanks for their time and consideration.
- Share specific insights you gained from the experience.
- Reiterate your continued interest in the company and explain why you're still excited about their mission.

3. Stay on Their Radar
- Connect with your interviewers on LinkedIn (do it straight away)
- Follow the company and engage meaningfully with their posts.
- Every now and then reach out with valuable content: Share relevant industry articles, update them on new skills you've gained, especially if based on their feedback.
- Reference personal connections made during interviews (e.g., shared interests or experiences).

4. Offer Value
- If you come across job openings at their company that aren't right for you, offer to introduce qualified candidates from your network.
- This demonstrates your continued interest and adds value to their recruitment efforts.

After putting all that time and effort into your interview preparation, don't let a rejection be the end of your journey with a company

Remember, you put in a lot of effort preparing for those interviews

Don't waste all that hard work by disappearing after a "no." 

By following up and staying in touch, you keep the door open for future opportunities. 

Your "no" today could become a "yes" tomorrow if you stay on their radar 🤗
