Career coaching is focused on your next move — finding the right role, navigating a transition, landing the job, or earning the promotion. It’s practical, strategic, and often time-sensitive. Leadership coaching goes deeper. It’s about how you show up as a leader — your presence, your communication, your self-awareness, and the culture you create around you. The two often overlap, and many clients find that the inner work of leadership coaching changes how they approach their career entirely.

That’s exactly what a free discovery conversation is for. We spend 30 minutes together — you share where you are, I share what I see, and we figure out together whether coaching is the right fit and which program makes the most sense. There is no pressure and no pitch. Just a conversation.

Both. Most of my coaching and group sessions are virtual, which means I work with clients across the US and beyond. For workshops and speaking engagements in the Chicago area, in-person is available. Reach out and we’ll find what works best.

Group coaching programs run for 10 sessions — typically over three to four months. Individual leadership coaching is tailored to the person and the goal, and usually runs for three to six months. Mock interview sessions are a single session. The right length always depends on what you’re working on.

We begin with stillness — a brief mindfulness practice to ground us before we do any other work. Then we get into it: where you are, where you want to go, and what’s getting in the way. Most clients leave the first session with more clarity than they expected — and a question they hadn’t thought to ask themselves.
