1:1 Career Alignment Coaching

Stop reacting to your career. Start authoring it.

A high-touch, 1:1 coaching experience for mid-career high achievers ready to stop executing corporate scripts, reclaim their authority, and write their next chapter on purpose.

Something has shifted — and you know it’s time to take back the pen.

Most of the people I work with aren't confused about their qualifications. They’ve built an impressive career, but somewhere along the way, they lost who they are inside of it.

They're asking: Who am I outside of this role? What actually matters to me in this next season? And how do I navigate my career so it reflects that?

Our work starts right there. This is your Authorship Awakening.

It’s the exact moment you stop reacting to your career and realize you’ve been running on a script that’s no longer yours. The tension you’re feeling is the signal that it's time to take the pen back.

The Shift from Passive Recipient to Active Author

The Authorship Awakening

You already know something isn't working. The question is: which story are you currently living?

THE OUTDATED SCRIPT

You’ve outgrown your career goals

You’re trying to govern your career using goals, definitions of success, and a blueprint written by a 22-year-old version of yourself that no longer fits who you are.

THE GHOSTWRITTEN STORY

You’re running on auto-pilot

Your career looks impressive on paper, but you’re going through the motions. You collect a paycheck and let corporate titles, managers, and golden handcuffs write the narrative for you.

THE HIJACKED CHAPTER

You’re dealing with corporate BS

You played by every corporate rule and stayed loyal, only to have an unexpected layoff, toxic restructure, or blocked promotion rewrite your story without your consent.

THE ABANDONED DRAFT

You’re diluting your true self

You buried your core talents, authentic voice, and natural strengths early on just to fit into a practical, standardized corporate box.

You don't need to burn your career down to fix this. You need to choose to author what’s next.

I help my clients step out of reactive execution and into intentional Career Authorship™, extracting who they actually are, positioning their signature value, and moving through every promotion, pivot, and workplace decision with unwavering authority.

Why Career Authorship™ works

Most career coaching starts with the resume or the job search. It’s tactical by design — built on the assumption that you already know who you are and what you want, and just need help executing.

In my experience, that assumption fails more often than it holds, especially for high-achieving professionals who’ve spent years optimizing for the wrong things.

So instead of starting with "What should your next job be?" — we start with:

"Who are you in your career, and what does that make possible?"

That shift changes everything downstream. The resume, the positioning narrative, the search strategy, the offer negotiations — all of it becomes more coherent, confident, and aligned when it’s built on a foundation of genuine self-knowledge rather than borrowed scripts.

Here is the framework that makes that transition possible:

Not every chapter starts in the same place.

How to work together

Every engagement is built on the Career Authorship™ Framework — the five-stage methodology that moves you from recognizing what’s been writing your career story to owning your next chapter.

How much of the Framework covered depends on where you’re starting and how far you want to go. Every client who does this work arrives somewhere different. Some are worn down by a role that keeps asking them to be someone they're not, some are mid-layoff, some are just tired of making decisions that were never really theirs. But the journey to an authored career follows the same arc.

Allyson Secured a Job in a New Industry with Long-Term Growth Potential

Allyson successfully transitioned from a job in the real estate industry to one in the tech industry, landing a job within 3 months of her coaching engagement and increasing her pay 36%. She also confidently negotiated an additional 7% increase in salary from the original offer. She has now been with her company 1.5 years and is on track for a promotion.

“I was able to pull past experiences and examples to make me more marketable for the job, even though it was a different industry. That helped to differentiate myself and show my current employer that I had the necessary qualifications to be able to succeed in the role.

I can’t express how happy I am! So much of what we identified as values, priorities, and targets for what I hoped to find in a job, I ended up finding.”

Allyson L. | Sr. Partner Marketing Specialist | Tech Industry

Kelly Landed a Job in 2 Weeks That Aligned with Her Values

Kelly learned how to determine which roles were a fit based on her values and the growth she was seeking. Within two weeks of starting her coaching engagement, Kelly was able to land a job in her target industry, growing her salary by nearly 10%. Because of her interview preparation, she exuded confidence throughout the process, which also allowed her to negotiate her pay and start date

“Kelly helped me with multiple aspects of my career but most importantly, how to be confident in the workplace. I gained a mindset that I had the ability to choose my career and make it what I wanted it to be – instead of letting others decide for me.”

Kelly H. | Staff Writer & Journalist | Media Industry

Zoe Nabbed a Remote Position with a 33% Salary Increase 

Zoe landed a job in her target field within 3 months of her coaching engagement and increased her salary by 33%. She was also able to secure a remote work agreement with her company that only hires remote employees when there’s a specific business need. She has since been with the company for over two years and already received a promotion!

“Kelly gave me the confidence to not settle for anything less than what I wanted. She gave me the ability to admit to myself that I wanted to earn more money. Seems simple, sure. But ingrained in me somewhere was the belief that I shouldn’t care about making more money, and that wanting to earn more was greedy or immoral. She helped me untangle that belief and seek out opportunities that pay me according to the value I add.”

Zoe R. | Copywriter | Advertising Industry

Galen Negotiated a 5-Figure Salary Increase

Galen received a job offer in an elevated role in her target industry and increased her salary 27%. She stayed in tune with the value she offered and successfully negotiated an additional $10,000 in base pay and a $10,000 signing bonus.

“Overall, Kelly gave me the confidence to weigh my decisions to know what is right for me in my career. I developed a deep sense of my personal values and how to weigh those against career decisions.

Career moves are scary but through our conversations, I became confident in my skills and my worth to know when career moves made the most sense for me. I was able to use the tools and frameworks [I learned] to appropriately advocate for myself.”

Galen K. | Sr. Program Manager | Tech Industry

  • “If you are considering working with Kelly, I highly recommend it. She worked with me over several months to boost my confidence, improve my personal goal setting, and build an effective plan for next steps in my career. I walked away with concrete results and a connection that will last a lifetime.”

    - Elisabeth G.

  • "Coaching with Kelly will help you for years to come and provide long-term benefits. It can be hard to invest in yourself or to know if something like career coaching is a good investment. But I wish I could tell everyone thinking about it to just do it because the benefits that came from it were so, so valuable!"

    - Allyson L.

  • "I’m incredibly grateful I decided to work with a career coach, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Kelly. She’s honest, supportive, and reliable! When I started this coaching experience, I was at an all-time low, with no direction for my career and zero confidence to tackle my resume, LinkedIn, or portfolio. Kelly guided me through updating everything and gave me thoughtful, personalized advice that really applied to my situation—not just generic tips."

    - Maria B.

  • "Kelly’s personalized program is truly remarkable. I successfully navigated multiple job interviews, negotiated better compensation, and landed an amazing position. I highly recommend [her] to anyone seeking career coaching – it is a game-changer for professional growth."

    - Vanessa Q.

Is 1:1 coaching right for you?

✅   THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
  • You are a mid-career high achiever who feels disconnected from what you've built.

  • You realize that true career alignment starts with identity and you are ready to do the deeper work beneath the resume before jumping into execution.

  • You want a high-touch, strategic peer to help you reframe your narrative, navigate complex decisions, or launch a multi-stream portfolio.

  • You value agency, intention, and ownership over playing it safe inside a corporate script that no longer fits who you are.

❌   THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF: 
  • You are looking for an entry-level job hunt service or just want someone to blindly blast your resume to 100 job boards.

  • You want quick, superficial tactical hacks without being willing to examine your core drivers, strengths, and non-negotiables.

  • You expect someone to make your decisions for you rather than actively co-creating and authoring your next chapter.

  • You are completely unopen to feedback or reframing how you position your value in the modern job market.

The next chapter of your career is waiting to be written. Who’s holding the pen?

You’ve spent long enough reacting to your career. It’s time to author it.
