FAQs

Professional Career Coaching

Click on the links below to learn what it’s like to work with me as your professional career coach.

Do you specialize in any industry or functional area of expertise?

I mainly work with senior-level professionals and executives whose careers span many industries and functional areas of expertise including finance, sales, marketing, operations, human resources, and information technology. That said, I also help entry-level professionals. My superpower is the ability to work with you to draw out your best selling points, hone your messaging, and provide honest, practical feedback so you can bring your A Game to the next interview, regardless of your background.

What do you charge?

My pricing ranges from $495-$1095 for coaching packages, depending upon your situation and needs. You can also opt for à la carte services such as additional mock interview sessions or job search and networking strategy. Please see my Services and Pricing page for details.

Do you work with international clients?

Yes, I’ve worked with clients across the globe in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Central America, and South America. As long as you are able to work within normal business hours in the Pacific Time Zone, we can collaborate. Please note that international transaction fees will be added to the cost of my services.

Do you write résumés and LinkedIn or other social media profiles?

I don’t write résumés, LinkedIn profiles, cover letters, or other materials from scratch. I do have an extensive hands-on background and stay up-to-date on current practices, so I am happy to audit, critique, and coach you through the process of taking your career marketing tools to the next level. If you need more extensive support, I’ll refer you to a trusted colleague.

I need help figuring out the next step in my career. Can you help me with that?

I work best with people who have already defined a clear job target. From there, I help you define your key selling points and messaging to market yourself in the most effective, compelling way. Sometimes in our work together, you might hear me say, “Have you ever thought of…?” But for the most part, if you’re in an exploratory or reflective phase, I can refer you to a trusted colleague who will help you uncover the possibilities.

What is your lead time for working with me?

My lead time varies based on client volume, but generally we can get started within a few business days.

Do you coach in person?

I work 100% virtually by phone and Zoom. We’ll have our initial strategy session by phone, and the mock interview using Zoom, which is extremely effective for me to observe and pick up the nuances of your responses and body language.

What is it like to work with you?

I’m a down-to-earth, friendly person who can quickly put you at ease and create a comfortable space during this process. That said, I care deeply about your success, so please be prepared for candid, practical feedback others may not be at liberty to provide or too nice to share. I strongly believe that if you’re happy at work, you’re much happier in life. If I can help you get to that place sooner, then we’ve both won!

How do I get started?

To see if we’re the right fit for each other, please schedule a complimentary phone consultation. Please attach a copy of your résumé, including a note about your situation, target jobs, and timing.
