Transform Your Career with a Seasoned Leader and Trusted Advisor

If your work environment is draining your energy, undermining your confidence, or making you question your own judgment, the problem may not be you. Research consistently shows that toxic workplace dynamics are structural and systemic. They are driven by leadership behavior, social norms, and work design, not by individual deficiency. This coaching package helps you do three things: name what is happening with precision, protect your well-being using evidence-based strategies, and build a concrete plan to stay and adapt, negotiate change, or transition out on your terms. Over four to six hours of coaching, we will work through a systematic pivot framework designed to help you: -Assess your environment using research-based frameworks -Distinguish between systemic dysfunction and your own performance so you stop internalizing problems that belong to the organization -Identify and interrupt patterns of self-doubt, isolation, and silence that toxic environments produce -Build a documentation and evidence strategy that creates clarity and agency -Strengthen your external network and professional positioning -Develop a decision framework for your next move, grounded in your values, your resources, and your timeline Rather than trying to “think your way” to the perfect answer, this program emphasizes disciplined experimentation and structured decision-making, a method shown to produce better outcomes when navigating toxic work environments.
A realistic and actionable roadmap for navigating a toxic workplace culture
Coaching delivered via live sessions and .
Our sessions will be live and synchronous, with clients completing "homework" assignments in between our meetings that are designed to give clients an opportunity to reflect and to test ideas.
We work as partners in the coaching process, and clients are expected to work between sessions to ensure both the coach and the client get the most out of the live coaching sessions. Clients are expected to provide at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a coaching session. Sessions cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged in full and deducted from the coaching package. I understand unexpected circumstances occasionally arise, and will always do my best to be accommodating in those situations.

Transform Your Career with a Seasoned Leader and Trusted Advisor
Over the two decades of my career, I have counseled numerous students, alumni, and colleagues as they navigated job searches, careers, transitions, and pivot points. I know from my own experience that having someone available to discuss options and strategies can always be helpful. I also firmly believe in negotiating for what you are worth and have advised and mentored others as they have weighed and negotiated job offers in various sectors. Finally, a passion for me is advising those from historically excluded backgrounds in their industries (first generation, people of color, etc.) on navigating bias and uninclusive professional environments. Whether you are prepping for a job interview, seeking clarity about whether to pivot, navigating impostor phenomenon, or wondering how best to engage a diverse team or resolve team conflicts, I am here to support you on your career journey. **Please don't let the rates deter you. I encourage you to contact me if you have concerns about the affordability of coaching, as I am always happy to offer discounts or design custom packages for those with less readily available financial resources.
