About Lyssa
With over 12 years of coaching experience, I've landed roles at companies with less than 1% acceptance rates multiple times and helped clients do the same at Google, Meta, LinkedIn, HubSpot, and more. But it didn't start this way. I took a non-traditional path, working my way through academia and retail, always aiming for tech but never quite sure how to get there. As a first-generation college student and the first in my family to work in the corporate world, I figured things out without a built-in network or guidance. That's why I'm here now. Landing my first role in tech changed everything. A few years later, I reached one of my biggest career goals: joining LinkedIn. For over three years, I managed the LinkedIn InStruct program, teaching hundreds of thousands of professionals, from recent college graduates to Fortune 50 executives, how to get the most out of the platform. I'm best known for LinkedIn profile reviews. I know the inner workings of the platform and how to set your profile up for success, whether you want to land your next role, attract more recruiter outreach, or build your executive presence.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I love helping others realize their own potential and sharing the unwritten rules of career success — the kind you can't Google. I didn't have a roadmap when I started, so I built one for myself. In many ways, I've become the coach I wish I had at the beginning of my journey building a successful career in tech.
