20+ Years in the Trenches

Why Smart People Get Stuck

Why Smart People Get Stuck

 I’ve spent more than two decades on both sides of the hiring table as a headhunter, HR leader, and career strategist.
I’ve worked with media brands, federal agencies, global contractors, and startups that went on to ring the NASDAQ bell or get acquired.


That experience gives me a close-up view of how hiring and leadership decisions are made and what separates people who move forward from those who get stuck.

The hiring process isn’t just about what you’ve achieved. It’s about how you frame it so others see it and act.


Even accomplished professionals undersell what makes them exceptional. They get caught in outdated advice or try to fit into templates that don’t reflect who they are.


Working with me is not theory or guesswork. It’s practical, direct, and shaped by years of seeing how hiring really works from both sides of the table.

What That Means for You

What That Means for You

What That Means for You

 I’ve helped senior leaders step into C-suite positions, guided government professionals through career transitions, coached mid-level managers into bigger roles, and supported students and early graduates launching strong careers.


Different stories, same result: talented people landing opportunities that fit their goals and ambition.


I stay active as a headhunter and consultant to leading companies, which means my coaching is grounded in what works today, not theory. 


Together, we sharpen what’s working, fix what’s not, and make sure your message lands. 

How I Coach

What That Means for You

What That Means for You

I notice the language that makes people lean in, the moments in conversation that change a room, and the cues that help decision-makers see fit and potential.  


We get clear on what you want, what’s in the way, and how your story is showing up on paper and in person.


I’ve seen what truly drives hiring and what causes strong candidates to get overlooked. 


My clients learn how to talk about work in ways that open doors, attract the right opportunities, and build momentum with strategies that hold up in the real world, guided by someone who works inside the hiring process every day.    


 Let’s talk about what’s next. Whether you’re leading, pivoting, or just exploring what’s ahead, we’ll find the next step that fits you.
