Career Transition Coaching
You Know You Want Something Different.
Let's Figure Out Exactly What.
A career pivot isn't just a job search — it's a story you have to tell convincingly. Most people fail not because they lack the skills, but because they can't articulate why their past makes them the right person for what's next. That's what we fix.
Common Transitions I Work On
Every pivot is different. But certain patterns come up again and again among the clients I work with most:
- Finance or consulting into product, strategy, or operations
- Individual contributor into people management for the first time
- Corporate into startup — or startup into enterprise
- One industry into a completely different one (healthcare, tech, climate, etc.)
- Specialist to generalist, or generalist to specialist
- Re-entering the workforce after a gap or a layoff
The common thread: you have more to offer than your resume currently communicates. The work is closing that gap.
What the Transition Process Looks Like
Get Clear on the Target
Most people in transition are fuzzy on exactly what they want. We start there — not with your resume, but with what you actually want your work life to look like. Role clarity precedes everything else.
Build Your Narrative
The most important asset you have in a transition isn't your skills — it's your story. We build a narrative that makes your pivot feel inevitable and earned, not random. Your background becomes a competitive advantage, not a liability.
Activate Your Network Strategically
Cold applications are a last resort. We map the people, companies, and conversations that will actually move the needle — and build a targeted outreach strategy that doesn't feel gross.
Interview and Close
When you're making a pivot, interviewers will probe the 'why' more aggressively. We prepare for those questions specifically — and for negotiating an offer that reflects your full value, not just your last salary.
“I'd been in finance for eight years and everyone told me it was too late to move into product. Five months after we started working together I was a PM at a Series B startup.”
