💼 Coaching That Fits in Your Inbox — and Your Schedule You’re busy. You’re smart. You don’t need weekly pep talks — but you do need clear, honest, personalized guidance to keep moving forward. Whether you’re switching industries, applying quietly, or second-guessing your resume, these asynchronous coaching packages give you high-quality support — without having to coordinate multiple ongoing calls. 🧠 What You Can Expect Real feedback — tailored, tactical, no fluff Voice memos + email support — that respect your time and style 1:1 doc and individual STAR story reviews — starting at the Professional tier Priority scheduling — in the Executive tier Response from me, personally, always within 24-72 hours! 📦 Choose the Plan That Fits Your Momentum Essential Access – $295/month (2-month minimum) Light, low-touch support for capable professionals who want to sanity check decisions, ask questions like, “Is this email too forward?”, "The recruiter said I'd hear something by last Friday. It's Tuesday, should I be worried?," or keep themselves accountable — all via email or whatsapp (text or voice memos). Includes: • Answers to yes/no or either/or questions • Brief directional feedback on short audio/video questions (≤5 minutes each) • High level "once over" - review of short email drafts to recruiters/contacts etc. • 10% off live coaching sessions ($325/hr) Does NOT include: document review, resume or cover letter feedback, STAR/pitch feedback, or live calls Approximate Equivalent Coaching Value: ~1 hour/month ($650) Professional Support – $525/month (2-month minimum) For job seekers and students who want feedback on their resume, cover letter, LinkedIn, or pitch — and want to sound sharp when telling their story. You still get that "on the spot" support - and then a little more specific guidance. Includes: • Everything in Essential Access • Up to 2 documents/month for review (resume, cover letter, LinkedIn), each document gets up to 2 set of notes per month. • One live phone or zoom call per month (25 minutes) to discuss: job search progress, networking hang ups, internship season accountability, your pitch, a STAR story - or anything else you have questions about. Approximate Equivalent Coaching Value :~2 -2.5 hours/month ($1462) Executive Momentum – $725/month (2-month minimum) Premium support for high-stakes transitions. Priority turnaround, deeper feedback, and a sounding board for every part of your search. Includes: • Everything in Professional Support • Unlimited notes and minor edits on up to 2 documents per month (resume, cover letter, LinkedIn About Statement, etc). • Two live phone or zoom calls per month (25 minutes) to discuss: job search progress, networking hang ups, internship season accountability, your pitch, a STAR story, self evaluation process for past interviews - or anything else you have questions about. • Specialized check ins and notes on interview days (when possible) • Priority scheduling for feedback Approximate Equivalent Coaching Value: ~3-4 hours/month ($2275) *****Please Note******** 🔁 What’s Not Included Full Mock Interviews and intensive interview prep are done live, in separate sessions — because interviews happen out loud, in real time. If you want real-time STAR story or pitch feedback, to do multiple rounds of your pitch back to back - or run a full 30 or 60 minute Mock Interview based on your area of interest, with custom feedback and suggestions for improvement - see the Fast Track sessions also listed on my page or book a full 1- hour coaching session. The 25 minute monthly meetings for Professional and Executive levels can be used for STAR and pitch review - just know it is likely that we will only get through a couple iterations of your pitch and/or 1-2 STAR stories in that time. For more extensive practice, see my other packaged offerings.
Quick, personalized responses to common recruiting and job search questions via text, voice/video memo or email throughout the month (always within 24-72 hours, sooner when possible)
A "secret weapon" to help build your confidence and provide those quick "sanity checks" when you're waiting for correspondence from a recruiter or networking contact
Resume, Cover Letter and/or LinkedIn Page Reviews with feedback (at the Professional and Executive Tiers)
An approachable and judgement free sounding board - informed by 20+ years of industry, recruiting, and coaching experience
Structured feedback and informed answers to help you stay grounded when you need it - no extra "newsletters" or pings when you don't

⚠️ Important Notes Before You Purchase Before we begin, I’ll invite you to schedule a brief 15-minute intro call to help us both assess fit. This quick chat ensures we’re aligned on your goals, communication preferences, and the scope of support included in the package you choose. If you’re unsure which plan is right for you, we can clarify that during the intro call as well. All asynchronous coaching packages include a 2-month minimum commitment. Why? Because consistent progress takes time, structure, and accountability — and most professionals benefit most from at least two months of support as they refine materials, build momentum, and navigate key decisions. After the initial 2-month period, additional months can be added individually as needed. All fees are due up front. If you prefer to split your payments, you’re welcome to use Leland’s installment payment option, which includes an additional processing fee.

Ex-Disney Recruiter | Interview + Career Coach | Resume Wizard | OPT Savvy
WHY should you hire me as your coach? BLUF (Bottom Line, Up Front). Quick bulleted list and story form both provided below, based on how you learn/read best. The Short List: -Former Recruiter for the Walt Disney Studios and Lucasfilm. I know what it takes to get into rooms and to walk out as the "candidate to beat" in a lineup of interviewees. -10+ Years experience coaching professionally (full-time) for students and experienced professionals, including top business schools like the USC Marshall School of Business (UG, MS, MBA). - Helped clients land roles in: corporate finance, CPG, entertainment (business side, marketing, finance, etc), internal consulting/strategy, supply chain/ops, pharma/medical, tech, automotive, IB and management consulting (undergrad only), brand management and product management, to name a few. - Consistently called out by clients as being the best when it comes to mock interviews (behavioral) and resume notes/edits. - Expert copy writer. - Lived and worked in Los Angeles for 22 years. I survived the Great Recession (2008), multiple SAG and WGA entertainment strikes and almost strikes, changing industries and job functions multiple times, and have landed roles with some of the most competitive companies in the world (Disney, DreamWorks, USC). Story Version: One of the best reviews on my page is from a former MBA student (and Military Vet). He said, "Kira is an incredible career coach and an even better human." This is what matters. Yes - that I am a knowledgeable and experienced coach. But more than that - I care about my clients and their overall well being. Job searching, grad school, transitioning from the Military and career switching are all incredibly stressful - a lot of times, more stressful than I think people anticipate. I love seeing people walk through these challenges and come out the other side, literally transformed. Often achieving more than they themselves thought possible! I have helped first gen, international students, recently separated military vets, and other non-traditional students (or clients) break into new industries and build a career path that they are excited about. When I graduated from undergrad, I graduated off cycle in December, because I kept changing my major and had to take extra classes. I landed my first job as a Production Assistant at DreamWorks Animation by February. In April, at graduation, all my friends were freaking out. Those I'd worked with in production on campus asked how I got my job and if I could teach them how to land jobs like the one I had. In addition to working with friends individually, I referred 5 people to the studio where I worked. Within 12 months, 4 of them were hired and the person who wasn't was an artistic prodigy and now works at Netflix. This has always been something I've loved doing. It just took me a while to realize it was an actual job :). My main goal in any conversation is to help YOU get clear about your next step - and to identify what you need to do in order to reach your short and long term career (and life!) goals. I'm typically a good fit and have a lot of experience working with people who: - Are MBAs recruiting for internships or full-time for all role types (Corporate Finance, Marketing/Brand, non-tech PM, PMM, Leadership Programs, Supply Chain/Ops, Business Intelligence, Sales, Startups) outside of IB and Management Consulting. I have experience working with clients and students in IB and Consulting - but there are a lot of folks on the platform who have more hands on experience here. I will say - I do a mean behavioral interview - and have had folks with a bent towards IB and Consulting remark that they have benefitted from my approach to the behavioral portion of the interview process, while working with other coaches on the technical/case portion. - Are making a significant career pivot (to a different job function, industry, or both - or out of Military service). - Are neurodiverse (ADHD, etc) and need help with productivity hacks and finding work streams that work for them. - Are students at any level (undergrad to graduate) and searching for an internship or full-time job - Are early/mid career professionals looking for a new career direction and need some help shaping and managing their career search/exploration process. - Are international students struggling with networking best practices in the US and understanding the basics of H1B and STEM OPT. I have worked with programs where 70-90% of the students were from outside the US. That said, I am not an immigration professional and cannot provide legal advice. - Are interested in careers in the entertainment space (film, TV, streaming, etc.) OR who are wanting to transition out of entertainment into a more "traditional" corporate role. Networking can be tricky for everyone! My top asynchronous recommendation? A play-by-play handbook "The 20 Minute Networking Meeting". I suggest it so often, I finally made an affiliate Amazon link: https://amzn.to/454gEpO
