Career Change Coaching
Not a perfect job. Just a clearer, steadier way forward.
If you’ve outgrown your role — or you can’t find one at all — we turn that fog into a plan you can actually act on.
We’ll map your strengths, pressure-test options, and build momentum without forcing you into a brand-new identity overnight.

Return on investment
This isn’t about collecting advice. It’s focused work designed to reduce uncertainty, improve decision-making, and get you moving faster with fewer false starts.
What changes
- ✓Less mental noise about work when you’re off the clock.
- ✓A clear next step — even if the full plan isn’t finished.
- ✓More follow-through: decisions that turn into action.
- ✓More confidence using your voice — ask, negotiate, set boundaries, or walk away.
- ✓Less self-blame: you stop treating restlessness as a personal flaw.
- ✓A career direction that matches how you actually operate.
How it pays off
Clarify what’s actually stuck. So effort goes where it matters — not into more overthinking.
Define a direction you can act on. Not a five-year plan. A next move you can execute.
Build confidence through action. Small tests, real feedback, less second-guessing.
Leave more capable than you arrived. The goal isn’t one decision — it’s a repeatable way of navigating change.

Ways to get started
Start with the Starter — or start with clarity.
If you want a clear next step quickly, the Starter is the shortest path to momentum.
If you’d rather begin by mapping what matters and why, we can start there too.
How it works
This isn’t a rigid program. It’s focused, practical work designed to help you make sense of your experience — and translate it into something you can actually act on.
- We clarify what’s actually stuck — and why.
- We identify your strengths, patterns, and the kind of work that fits you.
- We translate that into clearer positioning — including how you communicate your value on your resume and LinkedIn.
- We define a realistic next step and hold you to following through.
This isn’t just insight. If you say you’re going to take a step, we treat it as real — and build momentum from there.

Common questions before getting started
What if I’m not sure what I want yet?
You don’t need a clear destination to start. The intro call and first few sessions are about exploring ideas, reducing noise, and getting clear on what’s actually driving the stuck feeling.
What does it cost to get started?
Getting started is $650 for five hours of coaching. Enough time to explore options, reduce uncertainty, and define a grounded next step—without committing to a long program.
How do we start?
We start with a complimentary intro call. We’ll talk through where you are, what’s not working, and whether coaching is the right lever right now.
What does the pace usually look like?
The work moves intentionally—enough time to think and act, not so much that momentum fades. Pace adapts to your situation, energy, and goals.
Do you help with résumé, LinkedIn, and interviews?
Yes—when those are the right tools. We focus first on direction and positioning, then use practical materials to support that direction.
Do my skills actually transfer?
In most cases, yes. The work is about translating what you already know how to do into roles that make sense for how you operate and what you want next.
What if I’m unemployed or burnt out?
There’s no better time for coaching. We’ll get you refreshed and refocused, set a realistic pace, and rebuild clarity before pushing hard.
Is this therapy?
No. This is coaching—practical, forward-looking, and focused on decisions and action rather than diagnosis.

ListenInsights and Advice from John
Scarcity in a Land of Plenty
The job market feels off. On one hand, we’re surrounded by opportunity—endless postings, smart technology, the promise of AI making everything easier. On the other, there’s a quiet sense of desperation: people struggling to find work, jobs staying open for months, and a disconnect between what’s needed and what’s available. How can both things be true?
