  • Create a compelling career narrative that demonstrates and crystallizes your unique value proposition.
  • Build an activated network to find, connect to, and collaborate with the colleagues, recruiters, mentors, and allies who can refer you to the right people and opportunities.

don't waste your time trying to fit into their agenda

  • Stop being a supplicant pleading for the chance to prove that you're worthy of their consideration.
  • Stand up for who you are, what you do, what you know, and your vision for how you can make a difference.
  • Present yourself as the perfect solution to the problems and challenges that you are trained and capable of delivering.
  • Track and pursue the opportunities that mesh with your value proposition.
  • Get referred to the opportunities that are already looking for someone with exactly the skills, experience, and vision that you offer.

how i can help you

three career stages

You have different needs and different perspectives at different stages of your career. I work with you to apply my program to particular requirements of career transition for the time and circumstance you are currently going through.

Mid-Career

If you've established yourself in your field, you'll be looking for opportunities either in your current role or company as well as outside it. 

Use the system to create a clear message around your value proposition in order to understand what your options are, where you currently fit, and how you can navigate to a new and more advantageous position.

Late-Career

As you enter into a peak performance stage, you will be looking for ways to preserve your momentum and leverage your experience while also differentiating yourself from your competition. Finding a greater sense of meaning and purpose in this stage is key to stepping into greater leadership and greater authenticity

Second-Act Career

Traditional retirement is no longer an aspirational goal for engaged, achievement-oriented professionals. The second-act career stage is a transition to a period of even greater meaning and purpose, coupled with a desire to mentor and share the wisdom of lessons learned.  This is a stage that the system was specifically designed to address.

why coaching works

  • You make your own plan and the coach helps you stay accountable to yourself.
  • Every session is an opportunity to reflect on your performance and improve your game.
  • Your coach is the one person in your career process who is 100% unconditionally in your corner.
  • It's a safe space to work through your fears, build your confidence, and perfect your pitch.
  • Coaching accelerates your career process by pushing you to focus, stay on point, and maximize every opportunity.

If you could shave 1 month off that average, how much would that be worth to you?

A special focus on the second act

This is where my coaching program began. 

As a boomer, I was struck by how unprepared my generation was (and is) to keep working beyond traditional retirement. With ageism and outdated thinking pushing older workers out of their jobs, I wanted to give them a practical system they could follow to remain in the workforce.

So I literally wrote the book on second-act careers to encourage boomers (initially) and anyone over 50 to stay in the game and continue to work, create a career they find enjoyable and meaningful, and continue to save for an eventual retirement.

After I published the book, I found many gen-x and millennials contacting me with the same message: "You may have written this book for boomers, but the system applies to me, too!"

"This inspiring and yet very practical book provides a step by step guide to tap into our second-act career."
