Additional details
Coaching delivered via live sessions.
Live, via Leland or phone - based on preference. YOU are in the driver seat. I am your guide (sitting in the passenger seat) :). I have a lot of different maps - and you get to choose which direction we go and which map(s) we use. Sounds like an adventure, huh? I always start our conversation asking for a quick update on your current state, followed by a question like, "What would you like to work on today?" or "After our time today, what do you want to have accomplished?" If you're not sure what the answer is the first time I ask this question - I'm happy to provide some suggestions. Over time, I find clients get the most benefit when they come prepared with a few different "action items" to discuss or work on - and/or a list of questions. Ultimately, only YOU know what you need. I can provide tactical guidance when it comes to concrete things and defined processes like resumes or appropriate outreach to a new networking contact. I can’t tell you what will be a good long term career fit for you. The truth is - you will likely do MANY different things over the course of your career. That’s ok. That’s the new normal. The question isn’t necessarily, “What do you want to do forever?” It’s, “What makes the most sense to pursue right now?” One place I can be very helpful - if you know the types of projects or work that you enjoy doing - but aren't sure where those types of responsibilities live, I can likely point you in a few directions or suggest particular job titles you might want to explore. My goal is for you to build the skills and confidence you need to navigate any major pivot from here on out. I want you to learn how to evaluate your own performance honestly (and compassionately) after an interview, or feel empowered to ask your boss what you need to do to reach your next promotion. My students and past clients describe me as: an excellent listener someone who cares about them - not just their job search a resume wizard someone who provides insightful and actionable feedback, especially about behavioral interviews a source of encouragement and accountability I am reachable by phone, text and email during regular business hours. I sometimes respond outside of these times - especially if there is a time sensitive offer pending, etc., that we've discussed in advance. Always feel free to reach out - I will respond as I am able. Always within 48 hours (though I try my best to make it 24 hours).
All sessions to be used within 6 months of purchase.

Ex-Disney Recruiter | H1B/STEM OPT savvy | Vet Supporter | Interview Coach+
WHY should you hire me as your coach? BLUF (Bottom Line, Up Front). Quick bulleted list and story form both provided below, based on how you learn/read best. The Short List: -Former Recruiter for the Walt Disney Studios and Lucasfilm. I know what it takes to get into rooms and to walk out as the "candidate to beat" in a lineup of interviewees. -10+ Years experience coaching professionally (full-time) for students and experienced professionals, including top business schools like the USC Marshall School of Business (UG, MS, MBA). - Helped clients land roles in: corporate finance, CPG, entertainment (business side, marketing, finance, etc), internal consulting/strategy, supply chain/ops, pharma/medical, tech, automotive, IB and management consulting (undergrad only), brand management and product management, to name a few. - Consistently called out by clients as being the best when it comes to mock interviews (behavioral) and resume notes/edits. - Expert copy writer. - Lived and worked in Los Angeles for 22 years. I survived the Great Recession (2008), multiple SAG and WGA entertainment strikes and almost strikes, changing industries and job functions multiple times, and have landed roles with some of the most competitive companies in the world (Disney, DreamWorks, USC). Story Version: One of the best reviews on my page is from a former MBA student (and Military Vet). He said, "Kira is an incredible career coach and an even better human." This is what matters. Yes - that I am a knowledgeable and experienced coach. But more than that - I care about my clients and their overall well being. Job searching, grad school, transitioning from the Military and career switching are all incredibly stressful - a lot of times, more stressful than I think people anticipate. I love seeing people walk through these challenges and come out the other side, literally transformed. Often achieving more than they themselves thought possible! I have helped first gen, international students, recently separated military vets, and other non-traditional students (or clients) break into new industries and build a career path that they are excited about. When I graduated from undergrad, I graduated off cycle in December, because I kept changing my major and had to take extra classes. I landed my first job as a Production Assistant at DreamWorks Animation by February. In April, at graduation, all my friends were freaking out. Those I'd worked with in production on campus asked how I got my job and if I could teach them how to land jobs like the one I had. In addition to working with friends individually, I referred 5 people to the studio where I worked. Within 12 months, 4 of them were hired and the person who wasn't was an artistic prodigy and now works at Netflix. This has always been something I've loved doing. It just took me a while to realize it was an actual job :). My main goal in any conversation is to help YOU get clear about your next step - and to identify what you need to do in order to reach your short and long term career (and life!) goals. I'm typically a good fit and have a lot of experience working with people who: - Are MBAs recruiting for internships or full-time for all role types (Corporate Finance, Marketing/Brand, non-tech PM, PMM, Leadership Programs, Supply Chain/Ops, Business Intelligence, Sales, Startups) outside of IB and Management Consulting. I have experience working with clients and students in IB and Consulting - but there are a lot of folks on the platform who have more hands on experience here. I will say - I do a mean behavioral interview - and have had folks with a bent towards IB and Consulting remark that they have benefitted from my approach to the behavioral portion of the interview process, while working with other coaches on the technical/case portion. - Are making a significant career pivot (to a different job function, industry, or both - or out of Military service). - Are neurodiverse (ADHD, etc) and need help with productivity hacks and finding work streams that work for them. - Are students at any level (undergrad to graduate) and searching for an internship or full-time job - Are early/mid career professionals looking for a new career direction and need some help shaping and managing their career search/exploration process. - Are international students struggling with networking best practices in the US and understanding the basics of H1B and STEM OPT. I have worked with programs where 70-90% of the students were from outside the US. That said, I am not an immigration professional and cannot provide legal advice. - Are interested in careers in the entertainment space (film, TV, streaming, etc.) OR who are wanting to transition out of entertainment into a more "traditional" corporate role.
