Ace Your Interview!
This package is designed for professionals who want clear, practical guidance from someone who has been on the hiring side. I bring years of experience in executive search, C-suite and senior management recruitment, and nearly 1,000 interviews conducted at Amazon, where I worked in senior Talent Acquisition roles. The package includes a detailed CV review and targeted interview preparation focused on how hiring managers actually evaluate candidates. We’ll work on clarifying your narrative, strengthening how you communicate your experience, and preparing for common and role-specific interview questions. The goal is not to rehearse scripts, but to help you present yourself with confidence, clarity, and credibility — and to perform well under real interview conditions.
What's included
I work with clients in a focused, practical, and supportive way. Sessions are structured and goal-oriented, while still allowing space to think clearly and address what’s getting in the way. I draw heavily on my experience from the hiring side — including executive search and senior Talent Acquisition — so preparation is grounded in how interviews actually work, not theory. We start by clarifying the role, the decision-makers, and what success looks like from their perspective. From there, we refine CVs, develop a clear interview narrative, and practise responses in a way that builds confidence without sounding scripted. I also help clients manage nerves and pressure so they can perform well in real interview conditions. My style is warm, direct, and honest. Clients often value the combination of clear structure, insider perspective, and calm presence, which helps them show up authentically and effectively.

Ace Your Next Interview | Ex-Amazon Talent Acquisition Leader
I began my career as a lawyer and later moved into senior leadership and HR roles at Amazon. I know high-pressure environments intimately — billable hours, constant responsiveness, complex stakeholder demands. I also know how easy it is to live almost entirely in your head. I was very good at rationalising decisions, pushing through stress, and performing at a high level — even when my body was signalling burnout. Eventually, stress showed up physically: fatigue, TMJ, and a level of depletion that logic alone couldn’t solve. Wellness practices — coaching, meditation, yoga, energy work — weren’t indulgences. They were how I returned to myself. They restored clarity, steadiness, and discernment. That experience changed how I understand performance and leadership. I’m a certified executive coach (Henley Business School), a certified ADHD coach, a Reiki Master Teacher, and a trained yoga and meditation teacher. My work blends rigorous thinking with nervous system awareness. We focus on one issue at a time, but we never ignore the whole person. I work primarily with high-capacity professionals navigating growth, transition, or burnout — lawyers, executives, founders, engineers, and neurodivergent leaders who are capable, thoughtful, and often carrying more than they show. Many have achieved success but feel misaligned, overstretched, or at a decision point. Through Reunion Wellness Studio, I offer grounded, structured coaching that integrates clarity, regulation, and action. The goal isn’t to escape ambition. It’s to pursue it without abandoning yourself.
