I know firsthand how challenging and disorienting a career transition from a “safe, high-paying” job can be. I’ve been there: the uncertainty, the stress, the second-guessing: "Should I really do this? Maybe I should stay a bit longer?" But once that question surfaces, it’s a sign you're no longer fully invested - and that’s the moment to take your next step toward something more aligned. After years in the high-intensity world of consulting at Bain, advising top companies (mostly in financial services) on innovation and organizational transformation, I reached my own crossroads. I realized I needed a path that felt more true to who I am and what I value. That shift wasn’t just about a new role - it was about redefining success and my life on my own terms. Now, I help professionals at their own inflection points design careers rooted in purpose and passion. My approach goes beyond job titles and "the next right move" - it's about working holistically to support you. Whether you're stepping away from consulting, pivoting within your field, or exploring something entirely new, we’ll build clarity and strategy around your next chapter, while also cultivating the resilience, self-awareness, and presence to navigate challenges with confidence. Because real success isn’t just about the next job - it’s about becoming the kind of person who can thrive through the transition and beyond. 🚀 How I Can Help You: ✔ Get crystal clear on what’s next – No more spinning in circles. We’ll map out your direction with purpose, whether that’s a bold career pivot or a smarter next step. ✔ Turn uncertainty into growth opportunities and action – Feel stuck or overwhelmed? I’ll help you break it down, reframe it, and move forward with clarity and momentum. ✔ Craft a narrative that opens doors – Together, we’ll refine your story so it resonates - on paper, in interviews, and in rooms that matter. ✔ Align your career with who you really are – Not just what looks good on LinkedIn. We’ll reconnect with your values, strengths, and purpose to build something truly fulfilling. ✔ Strengthen your leadership from the inside out – Learn to lead with presence, emotional intelligence, and resilience - even in high-stakes environments. ✔ Build balance into your ambition – You don’t have to choose between performance and peace. I’ll show you how to have both (incl. mindfulness techniques that work in business) ✔ Have a real, honest space to figure it out – No judgment. Just grounded, strategic, human guidance from someone who’s walked the path.
