Navigate a Career First
What exactly is a ‘career first’?
It’s when you transition into a new phase of your career.
Breaking up with your career to pursue something new.
Gaining direct responsibility for managing a team.
Scaling your team as an early stage founder.
Starting your own consulting or coaching practice as a solopreneur.
Regardless of what your career ‘first’ is
The experience is similar...
You spent a lot of time on Google and can’t find what you’re looking for.
You don’t have anyone to talk to who understands what you’re going through.
You keep starting and stopping. Land in the same spot each time.
You wish you had practical resources and expertise to guide you.
You need an accountability partner.
This is where you and I meet.
“I am a first time…”
What I do for my clients in a nutshell

Patterns
Every career has a history and pattern. I can help you see and understand common themes in your career path. Use this information to guide yourself towards your next step and develop your personal brand story.

Recipes
Sure you can Google your way through it, but you don’t have that kinda time to waste? I cut through the noise and provide customized coaching, feedback, and practical tools that’s relevant to your unique situation.

Whatever is not working today, I can help you fill in the gaps to help you see progress. This may include being your accountability partner, confidant, safe space, and/or helping you set up systems to promote good habits.

regarding "failing as an entrepreneur". She was able to meet me exactly where I was at and challenged me to think differently.

Leang is amazing, flexible and incredibly skilled at coaching and I am beyond appreciative of her support."
