A few months ago, I got a text from a client that made me smile immediately. She had just been promoted - three months into her new role - and had received a $15,000 raise. She was over the moon and thanked me for having her build her 30-60-90 day plan before she started. Her exact words were: “I used it every single day.

They must notice.” The moment wasn’t a meltdown. It was subtle. Controlled. But...

A client messaged me recently, frustrated. “I’m trying to pivot. I know the type of role I want. But I have no idea where to look. No clue which companies are actually worth reaching out to.” This isn’t someone early in their career. They’re sharp, senior, and have a track record that should make hiring managers light up. But every time they try to take action on their search, they end up back in the same loop - scrolling LinkedIn, clicking on familiar company names, then getting overwhelmed...
