The most important lesson I’ve learned in my career—and one that shapes how I help others today—is the power of self-advocacy. It’s not always easy to recognize your value or speak up for yourself, but doing so can change everything.
A Pivotal Lesson in Advocacy
Early in my career, I was excelling in my role, taking on extra projects, and delivering meaningful results for the organization. But when it came time for promotions or recognition, I often found myself waiting for someone else to notice my contributions. One moment stands out: I had led a high-profile project that required collaboration across multiple departments. It was a resounding success, but when the final presentation was given, my name wasn’t mentioned.
I was disappointed, but then I asked myself a critical question: Have I been clear about the role I played? Have I articulated my value?
The truth was, I hadn’t. I had assumed my work would speak for itself, but I learned a vital lesson: advocating for yourself isn’t arrogance—it’s clarity. It’s about ensuring others see how your contributions align with shared goals and outcomes.
That experience changed the way I approached my career. I started articulating my impact, negotiating for what I deserved, and building relationships that fostered mutual growth. This shift not only transformed my own trajectory but also laid the foundation for the work I do today.
Finding My Purpose Through a Career Pivot
After nearly 20 years in corporate leadership roles, I hit a breaking point. I was working 10–12-hour days, completely burned out, and had lost sight of my values and goals. I knew something had to change.
I started writing resumes and coaching clients as a side hustle, tapping into my passion for helping others recognize their potential. What began as a small project quickly grew into something bigger. The more I leaned into this work, the more I realized this wasn’t just a stopgap—it was my calling.
Leaving the corporate world to build my own business wasn’t an easy decision, but it was the right one. It gave me the opportunity to align my work with my values, leverage my strengths, and make a real difference in people’s lives.
What I Do: Turning Ambition Into Achievement
Today, I help professionals take control of their careers by providing a full suite of services, including:
Customized Resumes: Documents tailored to showcase achievements and align with target roles.
Story-Driven LinkedIn Profiles: Profiles that highlight unique value and attract opportunities.
Career Coaching: Strategies for navigating transitions, negotiating offers, and building confidence.
Interview Preparation: Tools and frameworks to help clients articulate their value with clarity.
But my work isn’t just about polished documents or one-time coaching sessions. It’s about helping clients define what fulfillment means to them and creating actionable plans to achieve it.
The Philosophy Behind My Work
I approach every client with the belief that their career is one of the most personal and impactful parts of their life. Advocacy, grit, and positivity are at the heart of what I do. I teach clients to think of their careers like a product launch: Be clear on your strengths, communicate your value, and show why others should invest in you.
My clients leave not just with tools for success but with stronger self-advocacy skills, a clearer understanding of their worth, and the confidence to navigate their careers long-term.
Why I Do What I Do
The most rewarding part of my work is seeing my clients succeed—not just in landing new roles but in stepping into leadership positions, negotiating higher salaries, and finding opportunities that align with their values. Watching them grow into leaders, decision-makers, and advocates in their own lives is what drives me every day.
If you’re ready to take control of your career and turn ambition into achievement, let’s work together to create a strategy that aligns with your goals, values, and unique strengths.
