Career Coaching for Your Next Chapter
What do you want the next chapter of your career to look like?
A different role, a new industry, greater flexibility, or an opportunity to use your experience differently. Together, we explore what makes sense for you and develop the positioning and strategy to pursue it. Explore a new direction, navigate your search, or prepare for a bigger role with private, one-to-one coaching and career strategy.
Monthly coaching or a comprehensive transition engagement, tailored to your goals.

I look more closely.
What problems do people turn to you to solve? Which decisions have you influenced? What do you understand that someone outside your field would miss? Which parts of your career do you want to continue, and which are you ready to leave behind?
Those answers give us something more useful than a list of transferable skills. They give us possibilities to investigate.
An academic researcher may have expertise relevant to a specific part of drug development. A corporate leader may discover that a smaller organization needs the combination of capabilities her current company treats as separate functions. A woman returning after time away may need to reconsider how her earlier experience fits the opportunities available now.
Each situation calls for different questions and a different strategy.

Next Chapter Advisory: 1:1 Transition Support Through Offer
You may have a direction in mind. You may be choosing between several possibilities. Or you may know that something needs to change without knowing what that change should be.
We start where you are and agree on what we’re working toward.
First, we examine the possibilities.
We consider your experience, interests, financial needs, priorities, and the kind of life you want your career to fit.
We investigate potential roles and environments, review what employers are asking for, and identify where you have relevant evidence. If a direction requires additional experience, training, or a different entry point, we address that before committing to a search.
Then, we develop your positioning.
Once we have a direction worth pursuing, we define the value that should lead your story.
Your personalized CLEAR™ Positioning Map establishes your target, messaging, proof, market alignment, and the professional qualities you want to be known for.
I develop your resume and full LinkedIn profile around that positioning, along with language you can use in introductions, networking, and interviews.
And I stay involved as you pursue it.
When a recruiter calls, we prepare.
When an interview raises questions about your fit, we refine the story.
When networking conversations reveal a possibility you hadn’t considered, we evaluate it.
When your search stalls, we examine the response and adjust the approach.
When an offer arrives, we consider how it fits the goals that brought you here.
You have someone who knows your experience, understands your priorities, and remembers what you’re trying to change.
Your engagement includes:
- Career exploration and target-role evaluation
- A personalized CLEAR™ Positioning Map
- Personal brand development and career messaging
- Custom resume and full LinkedIn profile development
- Regular private coaching, paced to your transition
- Guidance between sessions by email or Slack
- Networking, recruiter outreach, and search strategy
- Interview preparation and opportunity evaluation
- Resume tailoring and messaging refinement as your direction develops
- Offer evaluation and transition planning
We agree on a defined transition goal at the outset. For clients pursuing employment, the engagement continues through an accepted offer, with up to 12 months of active coaching. If you decide to pursue a different direction, we agree on an appropriate endpoint together.
