Lean into your strengths

to find a career that’s right for YOU

All too often, people wind up where their careers lead them.
I believe it should be the other way around.

Empower yourself to take the next steps in your career with confidence.

  • Confused about your college major and academic path?

  • Struggling to find your career footing?

  • Worried that you might be stuck at your job or in your career?

  • Want to make a change but aren’t sure where to start?

  • Wondering if there’s anything out there for you … or overwhelmed by options?

  • Stressed or anxious about your future?

Move from
career confusion
to career clarity.

Start by developing an increased level of self-awareness.

The more you know about yourself, the better equipped you are to make academic and career decisions that are right for YOU.

With confidence.

That’s why I begin all coaching engagements with the Highlands Ability Battery (HAB), an objective, science-backed aptitude assessment.

Learning about your natural abilities and style preferences is a critical first step in identifying your best-fit career, job and work environment.

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its entire life believing that it is stupid.”

— Albert Einstein

When your career aligns with who you are — free of “should’s” and others’ expectations — something magical happens:

It feels like you’re exactly where you’re meant to be, doing exactly what you’re meant to be doing.

You’re less stressed. More fulfilled. Happier.

But it isn’t magic.

Alignment is the result of intentional choices you make during turning points and transitions in your career … and life.
