    WORKS is the premier career management agency, championing leading professional women who want to increase their profile, reach their full earning potential, and expand their influence. Our agile approach to careers helps women go further faster than they could on their own. Whether pursuing a new direction or preparing for a comeback moment, our clients are equipped to navigate rooms, conversations, and situations on their terms.The WORKS brand has been inspiring, educating, and energizing professionals long before career development was a standalone industry. I’ve consulted with Fortune 500 companies, including Ford Motor Company, Google, The Limited, Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, and Ally Bank on hiring, retention, and marketing programs and have been featured as a nationally recognized career spokesperson by The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, TODAY, Good Morning America, and CNN. As the author of three bestselling books, I offer career as the lens through which we see life, making work edgy, entertaining, and inspiring.
