Career transition coaching
The job is gone.
The uncertainty goes deeper than that.
You know you're capable of more. You've got the experience, the portfolio, the track record. But every application feels like shouting into a void - and underneath the job search, there's a harder question you haven't had space to sit with yet.
Who are you in this, without the title?
What this actually feels like
The market is brutal right now. That part is real. But the people who are landing - the ones getting calls, getting offers - aren't necessarily the most talented. They're the ones who are clear. Clear on what they want. Clear on who they are. Clear on the story they're telling.
A layoff strips away the structure you've been using to define yourself.
For a lot of the clients I work with, that's terrifying - because they realize they'd been defining themselves by the company, the title, the team.
Take those away and it's suddenly unclear who the story is even about. The job search tactics matter. Resume, LinkedIn, portfolio, outreach - we'll do all of that. But if you're searching from a place of uncertainty, every application, every interview, every networking call costs you something. You're performing a version of yourself you're not sure you believe in.
That's the thing we fix first.
- Chris, Your Career Coach
Who this is for
You don't need to see yourself in all of these. One is enough.
- You're job searching but something feels off You're applying, you're networking - but it feels hollow. You're not sure what you're even searching for.
- You've been at this for a while The market is hard, you know that. But part of you wonders if you're the variable too.
- You're questioning the whole direction Maybe this is the moment to do something different - but you don't have the clarity yet to know what that is.
- You had your identity tied up in that role The company, the team, the title gave you a sense of who you were. Now you're rebuilding that from scratch.
- You're ready to do it right this time Not just land any job - land the right one. And you know that takes more than an optimized LinkedIn.
If even one of these landed - that's worth a conversation.
How we work together
Two kinds of work.
The Inner Work
This is coaching
The identity question a layoff forces you to reckon with: who are you, outside of the last role? We'll do values work, untangle your sense of self from the job that's gone, and build the clarity you need to search - and interview - from a place you actually trust.
The Outer Work
This is strategy
Once the inside is solid, we make the outside match. Resume, LinkedIn, portfolio - all of it rebuilt to tell the story of where you're going, not just where you've been. Interview prep that comes from self-trust, not memorized answers.
What 6 sessions look like
Sessions 1 & 2
Get Clear
Who are you, outside of the last role - and where do you actually want to go next?
- Values work: what the last role gave you, what it took from you
- Untangle your identity from the company, title, and team that are gone
- Define what you're actually moving toward, not just escaping from
Sessions 3 & 4
Go Deeper
Build the self-trust to search - and show up - from a place you believe in.
- Surface the voices telling you you're not enough, not current, not hireable
- Reconnect to the version of yourself that knows what it brings
- Build the inner stability to navigate a difficult market without it breaking you
Sessions 5 & 6
Navigate What's Next
Close the gap between who you are and how you're showing up in the search.
- Resume, LinkedIn, and portfolio that tell a coherent forward-looking story
- How to talk about the layoff - clearly, without over-explaining
- Interview prep that sounds like you, not a rehearsed script
This is what changes
When you stop searching from uncertainty and start moving from clarity, the whole process shifts. Not just the materials - you. The way you show up in a room. The way you talk about yourself. The way you make decisions about what to pursue and what to pass on.
That's the work. That's what this is.
