get interview-ready!

Whether you're recovering from a job loss, itching to make a move to a better position, or looking to re-invent your current position and provide more value, my six-session program will get you ready.

Stop being a job seeker. become a job magnet

Stop chasing open positions and start chasing relationships. With 85% of positions hired through referrals, not resume submissions, you need to focus on your network. Reconnect with past contacts and start connecting with new ones.

Craft a compelling career narrative

Eloquently express the purpose and the value of what you do best. Share your experience and wisdom - not for its own sake, but because of the transformation you can offer prospective employers, clients, investors, partners, and allies.

Circumvent Ageism

Age discrimination is happening to workers as young as 40 - in tech, often younger. 

Stand tall in who you are and what you've learned. You are a "digital founder." By being your most authentic self, and by providing clarity around your value proposition, age will no longer be the issue.

Build Your Professional Brand

Stand up for what you stand for in the work that you do.

Articulate the unique value that you provide.

Qualify and quantify your ROI.

Express your professional POV to build credibility and trust.

It's time to write your next act!

3 reasons to work with a coach

  1. Build a consistent set of habits and practices to support your career - up to, but also beyond getting a job or transitioning to a second-act career.
  2. Benefit from a trusted advisor to help you hold yourself accountable to your own goals.
  3. Recognize the value of moving beyond your comfort zone to more fully achieve your true potential.

Forget what you think you know about getting a job or starting a business over 50.


The recruiting/hiring process in the 21st century is broken. Recruiters and hiring managers are swamped. They'll spend no more than 6-7 seconds skimming your resume to funnel you through their process.


To combat this new reality, and get the offers you want to do work you're best suited for, you have to be pro-active, clear about what you do and the value you provide.

  • You wind up going to work with people who understand you, who appreciate who for who you are, are grateful for what you do for them, and who feel lucky to be going to work with you every day.
  • You'll draw employers to you because your eloquent branding, profile, and value proposition describe what they need.
  • Colleagues will refer you to new contacts and the right opportunities.
  • You'll regain your confidence and be proud of the value you provide.You'll build new strategic connections and find your "tribe."
