YOU WANT A PARTNER AND A GUIDE
Career Coaching
We start with getting clear about where you'd like to be. We then reverse-engineer the steps you'll need to take to get there, and make it actionable. Whether you seek a career change, career development, or adjustments to fit your career and life together, coaching can help.
You’re here for a reason. And it’s a valid one - your work is a major part of your life. You want a career that is fulfilling and meets your needs. It’s not a big ask.
If you’ve felt stuck, like you’re settling, or want to evolve and push past barriers, coaching can help you get where you want to be. Whatever obstacles your facing in your career, we can overcome them, together. Let's challenge those thoughts that say "It's too late" or "I can't have that." Let's get you to a place in your career where you can say: "I'm exactly where I want to be." I've seen the transformation that happens in people when they become happy at work.
YOU CAN HAVE IT, TOO.
If you're looking for:
MORE GROWTH + FULFILLMENT
You want to tap your potential - to feel like you're making an impact or that your work matters. You want joy in your work.
GREATER WORK / LIFE ALIGNMENT
You want work that allows for quality of life, with ample flexibility and freedom to enjoy the things and the people that matter to you.
THE RIGHT FIT
You want to feel like you're leveraging your strengths and that your work suits you - like it was tailor-made for you.
I can help
with that.
I've helped hundreds of clients get to where they want to be in their careers. You don't have to have it all figured out - most of my clients are still getting clear about what they want. Wherever you are, that's where we'll begin.
All we've got to do is get started.
MAKE MOVES
Career Transition
You know it’s time to move on, but you want to know how. I have expertise that can help.
INTENTIONAL GROWTH
Career Development
You want to grow, make an impact, and maybe get unstuck. We’ll create a plan and see it through.
THE BALANCING ACT
Parents in Transition
When our home lives become more demanding or more important, our work may need to evolve.
Career Transition
Maybe you're ready for a career transition. Perhaps work feels like exchanging the hours of your life for a paycheck. Maybe you want to get unstuck, find fulfillment, and grow. I serve as a strategic partner to help you make moves in your career.
Perhaps the challenge is that you aren't sure what you want, professionally. Together, we can cultivate options and map your options against who you are and what you want to discern the best path forward. We'll utilize data science tools, assessments, and design thinking to help us with this work.
Once you know what you want, we'll get strategic to help you realize your vision.
This can include developing a job search strategy and articulating your value proposition via your resume, online profiles, cover letters, and interviews. Our work will help you develop clarity and confidence to act without anxiety and secure your next role.

CAREER TRANSITION COACHING CAN HELP YOU:
“Brandy was easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. She is whip smart and an excellent thought partner to help you navigate a career or job change.”
Brandy led me through a valuable career brainstorm and helped me narrow in on a role. She provided resources and guidance to build my personal brand, and tactical help on cleaning up my LinkedIn and resume. I highly recommend Brandy!
STEPHANIE LANDED AT GOOGLE
From Clients Who've Transitioned:
“After a couple months of working with Brandy, I landed a position with a company that I have always looked up to.”
I would not have been able to have the confidence to apply and interview without Brandy's support. I highly recommend Brandy to anyone who feels stuck and needs someone to guide them through the process of a career change.
SIMON INTERVIEWED WITH CONFIDENCE AND GOT THE OFFER
“Brandy helped me find a much needed balance in my job search.”
I spent way less time spinning on job sites and LinkedIn and prioritized my own wellness, which ultimately went a long way in getting me a job. I recommend Brandy if you need someone to help center you and guide you to think about what you really want out of your life, instead of just what seems possible career-wise.

Career Development
You have goals for your career - some may be defined, some may be rather undefined. But you know you want more - more growth, more fulfillment, more tapping your potential, more opportunity, more impact.
Maybe a radical transition - to another company, role, or industry - is not your aim. You just need a plan to develop yourself as a professional, expert, manager, or leader. You may need executive coaching, communication coaching, or presentation coaching.
The first step to reach beyond your current career circumstances is clarity about what you want next.
We can partner to define what type of professional, manager, or leader you hope to become. We'll then get strategic to determine how to get you there. We can work on effective communication, executive presence, and leadership skills. You may want to up-level your time and task management skills. Perhaps you need to develop the negotiation skills to change your role.
Whether your goals are defined or undefined, we'll get started moving you towards a better career. It's an investment in yourself, and your future self will thank you.

"Evolved my outlook on leadership, creativity, and teamwork."
Brandy introduced me to a wealth of materials and frameworks that quickly helped direct my job search and clarify a few urgent decisions. Brandy also directed me to a number of outside resources - our discussions about which evolved my outlook on leadership, creativity, and teamwork. This was an unexpected but super high-value outcome of our work together.
Brandy's style, as both a coach and thought partner, is a great balance of detail-oriented and organized but without being formulaic. I highly recommend working with her!

HOW coaching has helped parents:
"More at peace and confident."
I'm so glad I trusted Brandy and her practice. Brandy is professional, kind and has made me feel truly cared for in our sessions. She has helped me navigate my thoughts and feelings in all aspects of my life. From relationships, to being a new parent and now transitioning back into a career, she has listened to me and helped me find ways to cope and move forward in a positive way.
Once anxious and overwhelmed, I now feel more at peace and confident in my ability to address life's challenges and I owe SO much of this to Brandy! I have recommended Brandy to my family and all of my close friends and know that anyone who works with her would do the same.

"Allows me to see things from a different perspective."
I very much needed someone to help me navigate my own thoughts ... the decision to have her as my coach has been life changing! Brandy is an INCREDIBLE listener, who is patient, and has this gift of being able to change my mindset and help me realize what it is that I enjoy in life, both personally and professionally.
Each week I walk away with a sense of accomplishment and clarity. Brandy picks up on a tiniest hint of hesitation in my voice and is able to paraphrase my own words in a way that makes sense to me and allows me to see things from a different perspective. I can't recommend Brandy enough.

"A practical path."
It has been so helpful working with Brandy. She listens really well and helps the other person make connections among their various ideas, goals, and accomplishments. Brandy helps clarify a practical path toward bringing goals to fruition. She also draws on her own life experience and applies it where relevant.
Brandy seems to have an ability to articulate what the other person is trying to say in a way that moves a conversation forward, from exploring ideas, to having some concrete ideas for new approaches.
