What we can do together

Bring the thing that's on your mind.

Leaving corporate

You're weighing the jump. We look at the real costs, the real options, and what else stands in the way of your decision to leave.

Career pivots

You have transferable skills. Lots of them. We take inventory and build a plan that fits what you bring, how you want to grow, and the right roles for you.

Finding the what

No plan yet, just a hunch. We brainstorm until something takes shape.

The one I wish I had.

Building the path

Bring your ideas and goals and let's make a plan. Ambiguity is a big part of building your own path, so of course she's a necessary player in this conversation.

Resume review

A line-by-line read from someone who has reviewed 200+ resumes across industries, from the hiring side at Google to Booth's admissions panel.

Why brainstorm

Sometimes, we need to
think out loud.

Ideas before answers

Often, we have a narrow view of the options for a variety of reasons (fears, unknowns, limiting beliefs). We widen the field first, then narrow it down to real options.

Think out loud

I fell in love with walks and voice memo-ing. Thinking out loud bypasses judgments, spirals, and other filters our minds sneak in.

Frames that work

No frameworks. Instead, frames that work for you. We start from your experience, instincts, and how you want to grow.

What to expect

1 hour, start to finish.

  1. Before

    Pick a time and tell me in a line or two what's on your mind. Bring anything that helps: a resume, a rough idea, a list of options, or just a hunch.

  2. During

    1 hour on video. We start where you are, throw ideas around, and pressure-test the ones that have energy.

  3. After

    You leave with more clarity on what you want and your next steps.
