I work with successful +40 y/o middle managers, who want to take their career in a new direction, but don't know what that looks like or how to pull it off. I help them find their unique marketable sweet spot,  and relaunch their careers -- either within the same organization or somewhere else.

Even the most successful professionals feel stuck at some point.

I help high-achievers in their 40s who want to relaunch their careers and are trying to find a marketable sweet spot for their unique skills and gifts.

These include corporate middle managers who:

- Lost their motivation and are stuck in a prolonged soul search. 
- Have a hard time summoning the confidence to make a career pivot. 
- Possess a unique combination of skills that don't fit within existing job titles.
- Try to find their place as they re-enter the workforce after an extended professional absence (e.g. full-time parents, caregivers, sabbaticals)

Think of me as a personal strategist who can help you regain clarity, direction, and courage to reinvent your career. 

I'm different from your typical career coach because I don't come from the HR pool. 

The traditional HR-minded approach focuses on HOW to land a job (e.g. optimize resume and pitch and interviewing skills). But this approach is useless if you are trying to figure out WHAT job to land. 

I spent 20 years launching new products and brands, Along the way, I reinvented my own career 9 times.

I know how it feels to be stuck in a long mid-career limbo, sifting through hundreds of jobs online in search of an answer and feeling like nothing fits. I've experienced the same anxiety, frustration, and self-doubt you may be experiencing right now.

I know how to get out of that ditch. 

Combining tools from innovation strategy, psychology, and coaching I’ll help you solve for "what to become" (e.g. craft your vision, find your sweet spot, develop systems and habits, challenge beliefs, etc), so you can relaunch the second half of your career.
