Pivot with Purpose
Your career isn’t just about what you do - it’s about who you are becoming. Whether you’re unsure of what’s next or you already know the direction you want to go but aren’t sure how to get there, this coaching package will guide you through your career pivot with clarity and confidence. Together, we’ll: * Clarify your vision - whether that’s discovering what you want or mapping out the path to get there * Identify your values, strengths, and transferable skills * Shape your career story so you can communicate it with confidence * Build an actionable, step-by-step plan for your pivot * Strengthen the mindset and habits that keep you moving forward with intention * Develop and grow skills needed in your future path This isn’t about making a leap just for the sake of change - it’s about aligning your work with what matters most to you and moving forward with purpose. You’ll walk away with a clear vision, a powerful narrative, and a confident strategy for your next career move.
What's included
As someone who has reimagined my own career several times, I would love to guide you on your journey! I bring an optimistic, problem-solving approach to my coaching - knowing that every challenge has a number of possible solutions. (I think this is my prior engineering background coming out!) My clients have shared that this approach provides them with a sense of calm, and helps to expand their thinking on possible ideas and ways forward. My coaching takes into account the whole person, knowing our professional and personal lives and goals are very intertwined, and I love helping my clients find practical and realistic ways to achieve their goals. I primarily work with my clients live via Zoom, typically meeting bi-weekly but can adjust accordingly based on client need. I am also available via email if a client needs support between sessions.

Melissa S.
ICF Certified Coach | 20+ Years in Career Coaching
Hi! I’m Melissa - an ICF certified coach, facilitator, and former talent development executive. I started my career in engineering and product roles, but spent most of the past 20+ years working in Talent Development at large multinational companies. My work has ranged from new employee recruitment and success to developing and facilitating programs for the company’s top leadership. I’ve worked in global roles the majority of my career, with the highlight being getting to live and work in Asia for 2 years. As a Coach & Co-Founder of Together We, my work today is focused on helping people at transition points feel less alone and more confident. I’m based in Seattle, Washington and have worked with clients from across the globe on both professional and personal goals. My clients include senior executives at both large corporations and start-ups, new front-line managers, technical leaders, parents returning to work from parental leave, and friends who are exploring career options, to name a few. I also have extensive experience developing and facilitating workshops aimed at building both skills and confidence in a range of topics including leadership, career development, and change management. When I’m not coaching, you can find me watching a movie or show with my family, driving my teenage kids to a theater rehearsal or sports practice, taking a walk with my husband and dog, going for coffee or wine with friends, doing some sort of at-home exercise program, or reading a book and quietly recharging.
