Career Coaching for Impact-Driven High-Performers
Or scroll to learn more
You know you need a change, but every time you get close to deciding what's next, you freeze.Should I wait it out? Pivot careers? Start the side hustle?You know the pros and the cons. You've talked to your partner, your friends, your therapist. You've done the research.And you're still stuck.
So you stay in career limbo, exhausting yourself by running through every scenario, instead of making the damn decision and moving forward.

We believe that focusing on your personal growth directly impacts your professional development and your relationships.That's why we work with our clients one-on-one to tailor our program to their needs. We use a proven framework that helps our clients see what's actually holding them back and build systems that move them forward.Here's what that looks like:
DISCOVER & DEFINE - We ask targeted questions to get a full picture of who you are outside of your roles. This process reveals your blind spots: invisible patterns that hold you back and block clarity.
TEST & REFINE - We run mini-experiments to explore what aligns with your values and goals. We provide feedback and guidance as you experiment in real time, so you build momentum in the right direction.
INTEGRATE & SUSTAIN - We build a decision-making system that aligns with your values and priorities, so that you can stop sacrificing what's important to you. Because balance is bullshit.
Make career decisions aligned with your values, not just financial targets or what you think you're "supposed" to do
Develop a clear professional identity that positions you as a thought leader in your field
Build systems that support your growth in both personal and professional domains
.
Salary increases of $50,000 or more
Less stress and more confidence in decision-making
Career moves that felt like intentional growth, not random pivots
Built a reputation that extended beyond their job title so the right opportunities found them
Positioned themselves to build generational wealth while actually being present for their families (no tradeoffs needed)
While we can't guarantee these results for everyone, we believe that our clients gained these wins because of their commitment to the program and their growth.

You're a mid-career professional who's successful on paper but secretly unsatisfied (and feel guilty about it).
You're looking for guidance in the right direction, not the perfect answer.
You have multiple identities competing and you're feeling disjointed.
You're ready to invest in both your career and personal growth.
You're looking for therapy or counseling.
You're expecting guaranteed financial outcomes.
Your livelihood depends on finding a new job ASAP.
You want someone to tell you what to do or fix your problems for you.
You want quick tips and shortcuts rather than sustainable behavioral change.

Hey there! I'm Susan and I work exclusively with mid-career professionals who are successful on paper but stuck in practice.Before coaching, I spent over a decade navigating my own career transitions. I learned that the problem was never about needing more information or options. It was about understanding the invisible patterns that kept me paralyzed, even when I knew what I needed to do.That's what makes me different from other career coaches: I can clearly see your blind spot when you can't see it yourself.Together, we will pinpoint the specific pattern keeping you stuck and develop a personalized system to work through it that will continue to serve you after our time together.Things I often share with people I just met: I'm a teacher by trade, I'm the daughter of immigrants, I love to travel (over 40 countries so far), and I'm a hardcore introvert.

How much does this cost?
This is a 1:1 career coaching service for $5,000 USD.
Do you specialize in any particular industry?
Since my background is in education, non-profits, tech, and project management, I attract others in the same industries. You can learn more about my past lives here.All of my clients are full-time professionals in a manager-type of role. Some are building side hustles or nurturing a creative outlet to create more options for their future.🛡️ I’m also a former military spouse who maintained a career through multiple PCS moves (including OCONUS). I understand the unique lifestyle and challenges that our career military spouses and veterans face.
Do we meet in person or virtually?
I primarily offer virtual coaching sessions. I’m open to in-person sessions within the DC Metro Area (transportation costs may incur).🏝️ Fun fact: When I lived in Hawaii, I met one of my clients at the beach for our sessions!
Is there any work in between sessions?
Yes, when it makes sense. I don’t believe in giving out homework just for the sake of it. The work is a natural progression of your growth, not another thing to add to your to-do list.
Do you offer a guarantee?
I can't guarantee results like a new job, increased salary, or enhanced lifestyle because that would be dishonest. What I can tell you is that past and current clients have experienced these outcomes because they showed up, put in the work, and were ready to make a change.Coaching is transformative, but the transformation happens when you combine the right framework with your own commitment and timing. I provide the structure and guidance; you bring the willingness to do the work.
Do you offer refunds?
I don't offer refunds beause you can't "undo" a coaching service. Once you’re signed on as a client, the work begins immediately, even before the program starts.I don’t outsource my coaching and I limit the number of clients I work with at any given time. This allows me to provide my full focus and energy to each client.
