CLIENTS FOUND ROLES AT:
ARE YOU RE-ENTERING WORK?
I work with many clients who have been parenting or caregiving and are ready to re-enter the paid workforce. If that's you, career coaching can help ease overwhelm and provide guidance in this season of transition.
“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
“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
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.
“Brandy helped me find a much needed balance in my job search.”

CAREER GROWTH
I'M HERE TO HELP.
You have goals for your career. You want more growth, more fulfillment, more tapping your potential, more opportunity, more impact.
We can partner to define what type of professional, manager, or leader you seek to become. We'll then get strategic to get you there.
If You Want To:
IMPROVE WORK RELATIONSHIPS
You want to form connections, build a network of allies and advocates, or perhaps set the tone for relationships in a new job.
GROW IN LEADERSHIP CAPACITY
You want to lead with confidence, define your unique management style, or troubleshoot feedback you've received.
MAKE AN IMPACT
You want to tap your potential - to feel like you're making an impact or that your work matters. You want to leverage your strengths.
I can help
with that.
I partner with 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.
I'VE BEEN THERE, TOO
As a former attorney, I've navigated competitive and demanding work environments. Now as a coach, I help clients across industries grow in their chosen profession and design work on their terms.

LET'S EXPLORE HOW COACHING CAN HELP.
You have a multi-faceted life: career, family, friends, wellness, passions. A well-designed life requires that these pieces fit together with intention.
Modern life creates many demands on our time. If you've struggled to strike the balance, feeling like you're always behind or dropping the ball, you're not alone. But there's a better way.
Get clear on what's essential to you - create a plan for your time that embraces what matters most.
If you're a working parent, define clear boundaries with work and home life so you can thrive in both.
Learn approaches to negotiate and communicate with your employer.
Have a strategic plan for managing demanding times at work without over- compromising.
Create a task management system that helps you feel on top of it all.
Learn techniques to effectively address burnout and prevent future burnout.

Through skillful questioning, compassionate curiosity, and authentic relationship building, Brandy co-creates a safe space where clients are encouraged to dream big and "try on" other perspectives. Brandy helps me see beyond my self-imposed limitations to imagine the life I want to live and the impact I want to have in the world.

Brandy 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 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.

For anyone in between jobs, looking for a career shift or just trying to stay centered to achieve one’s future goals, I cannot recommend Brandy enough. She is thoughtful, organized and incorporates useful and measurable frameworks.

I have gained confidence, clarity, motivation, and a new found drive for my future that has subsequently affected every area of my life.

WE'LL TAKE AN AN ESSENTIALIST APPROACH:
“Essentialism is not about how to get more things done; it’s about how to get the right things done. It doesn’t mean just doing less for the sake of less either. It is about making the wisest possible investment of your time and energy in order to operate at our highest point of contribution by doing only what is essential.”
