We work with individuals at any career stage and specialize in mid-career corporate workers in tech and tech-adjacent roles. We focus our coaching practice on these four areas:1. Corporate job search and career pivots with an emphasis on the actual “how-to” of job search, doing your resume, LinkedIn profile tuning, interview prep, and additional career services and counseling for you to get your tech career started or restarted. More than just career advice, we give you personalized attention and share how to do each step of the process.2. Corporate Leadership Coaching for working professionals focused on advanced communication skills and philosophy of management, especially early career and first-time managers in corporate settings. Move past Impostor Syndrome and develop soft skills that are seldom discussed in corporate training.3.
