Description

Succeeding in public policy requires more than searching for job openings. You need clarity about where you are going, an understanding of how your experience translates to the field, knowledge of where opportunities exist, and a strategy for building relationships that can move your career forward. The Public Policy Career Accelerator provides personalized 1-on-1 coaching for professionals building public policy careers. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience in government, advocacy, policy, community engagement, and politics, I will help you develop a strategic approach in a field where relationships, reputation, expertise, and judgment are as important as your résumé. Whether you are pursuing roles in government, government relations, consulting, or other policy sectors, I will tailor coaching to your specific goals. Together, we will clarify your objectives, address challenges, and develop a practical strategy so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. Depending on your individual needs, coaching may include: Navigating the Public Policy Landscape – Explore opportunities across government, nonprofits, government relations, consulting, and related sectors. Building Strategic Professional Relationships – Develop a targeted plan to identify and connect with key individuals, organizations, and institutions in the field. Mastering “The Ask” – Learn how to approach mentors, policy professionals, government leaders, and other key contacts with clear and thoughtful requests. The goal is for you to complete the Public Policy Career Accelerator with a clear direction, a strong understanding of your strengths, a targeted network, and a strategic plan to advance your career. Depending on your needs during this Session, you will take away some of the deliverables listed below:
