With over 15 years in the media and adtech space, I have experience building and leading teams at both large organizations, such as Disney and eBay, as well as smaller, early-stage startups. After years of people management in the corporate world, I channeled my passion for helping individuals grow their own careers into my own coaching business aimed at making managers more confident, efficient and effective.

Experienced consultant and people manager with a passion for asking empowering questions, disrupting constraining norms around staying quiet, and helping people navigate transitions. I work as a Career Development and Executive Functioning coach with young people, helping them cultivate adaptive skills for transitions and executive functioning capacities using research-backed strategies. My curriculum addresses both the behavioral changes (e.g., building new habits) and the mindset shifts needed to advance learners’ outcomes and orientations towards transitions, work, and learning. My curriculum teaches both the theory behind improving and ways to practice improving 1) memory and attention, 2) motivation, 3) organization and project management, 4) identifying change goals, and 5) designing progress plans for change. We will explore interconnected personal and professional development challenges. My approach incorporates established frameworks of human development, including Adaptive Leadership (Dr. Ronald Heifetz, Harvard Kennedy School), Immunity to Change (Drs. Bob Kegan & Lisa Lahey, Harvard University), and Ethics of Care (Dr. Carol Gilligan, Harvard University/NYU). My prior experience includes people and project management in consulting, research, quantitative analysis and modeling, political work, and nonprofit consulting.

Hello! I'm Shaaron and I love working with people to help them achieve their best potential. I bring 10+ years of experience in career coaching, career transition, leadership development & branding and executive presence. I coached over 300 professionals ranging from Managers to Executives. With experience working for prestigious, exciting and challenging Fortune 500 companies, such as Microsoft, Amazon, Expedia, Disney, T-Mobile, and now Salesforce, I bring a full range of corporate and personal coaching experience. I understand the challenging balance between corporate success and personal fulfillment, which is why I love coaching so much because it can help wonderful people like yourself find that balance in ways that work for you. Every individual have unique strengths and untapped potential waiting to be explored. My passion is to help you tap into your resourcefulness, and empower you to design a future aligned with your unique core values, with who you truly are and who you aspire to be.

I have mentored and coached hundreds of transitioning military service members, spouses, and executives through career and industry transitions. I have completed more than 7,000 professional resume reviews and have mentored and coached via a variety of platforms and programs. I have extensive expertise in career development, LinkedIn, resumes, interview preparation, offer negotiation, and just about any other career development topic. I have hired, trained, and mentored dozens of executives and have experience in international markets and organizations as well.

As a career development coach, I aid college students and early-career individuals in discovering their unique brilliance and leveraging this novel self-understanding to create careers uniquely suited to them. Throughout my career advising and mentorship experiences at the WashU Career Center, BlackRock’s Analyst Buddy Program, and Jewish Queer Youth (a nonprofit supporting LGBTQ+ Orthodox Jewish young adults), I have helped people: • Gain clarity on what makes them special: how their particular experiences, strengths, and traits shape them into one-of-a-kind individuals • Identify career goals that align with their passions, values, and desired lifestyles • Achieve their career goals by developing a unique personal brand and conveying this brand via application materials, professional communications, and interviews Getting accepted to BlackRock’s Analyst Program and then evaluating candidates for this program has given me firsthand insight into what’s required to stand out in competitive application processes and land amazing first roles. Moreover, my pivot from the financial industry into a clinical psychology doctoral program has equipped me to help clients navigate and execute fulfilling career changes. I have helped clients gain acceptance to selective internships, jobs, fellowships, and graduate schools, and have facilitated career transitions into Tech, consulting, and the nonprofit sector.

Balancing short-term goals with long-term vision can be overwhelming. I’ve been there - executing multiple career pivots to build a breadth of experience, juggling work and family while being mindful of self-care, and driving impact as a purposeful leader in the technology industry. With a rich background in leadership and career development, I bring over two decades of experience from top tech companies like Google, IBM, and Amazon. As the CEO and Founder of Pellucid Communications, I have coached senior leaders across various roles, helping them build strong team cultures, develop management skills, and navigate key career transitions. My coaching is informed by my work in strategic roles, such as Director of University Education and Workforce Development, where I align cross-functional teams to drive global skilling initiatives. I am a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and an International Coaching Federation Associate Certified Coach (ACC), dedicated to empowering individuals to reach their full potential. Let's connect to tailor a career development plan that aligns with your goals!

I spent 8 years trying to figure out how to climb the corporate ladder and "manage up"; early on in my career, I was unsuccessful. It wasn't until I started establishing relationships with a few helpful mentors, studying for my MBA, and when I volunteered as a Career mentor for undergrad students did I learn from mistakes and start to better understand what was needed to build a successful career. So, utilizing my personal failures and successes, including landing a role as a Sr. Consultant at a Consulting firm, despite applying off-season, and my natural ability to coach, I now help recent undergrads in career development. I particularly enjoy and excel working with recent undergrad students understanding that post graduation is an anxious time, especially for those unsure of their career. Besides providing support and advice, I coach my clients in understanding themselves and determining their goals so that they approach each role confidently and with a strong narrative. Clients of mine have been able to learn sustainable relationship and career building skills, allowing them to make a positive impact in their role and advance in their career.

As a strategic HR and recruiting leader and certified executive coach with over 15 years of experience, I specialize in partnering with high achievers to land their dream job and thrive in it. My career spans diverse industries and roles, including serving as a trusted advisor to startup CEOs and Fortune 500 leaders, recruiting top leadership talent to drive IPO success, and implementing people-focused strategies that deliver measurable results. Combining expertise in executive coaching, recruiting, management consulting, HR, and psychology, I help my clients navigate complex career challenges. Whether you’re making a career pivot, transitioning roles, or positioning yourself for a promotion, I provide actionable insights, accountability, practical tools, and personalized strategies to help you achieve your goals with confidence.

I want to make it easier and more predictable for others to figure out the strategies needed to get into "elite" institutions like the ones I attended - I had to stumble across these strategies myself, and want to take the guesswork out of the process for others! Most importantly: I'm passionate about helping folks figure out their unique Why - so that they can create a career rocket ship, and craft a compelling narrative for it. (This also involves reframing self-limiting beliefs that have kept you feeling stuck or overwhelmed.) I've worked with tons of clients on both sides of the coin - both those trying to get into the worlds I navigated, and those trying to rediscover a cohesive sense of self and tailored plan for growth, after years or even decades in the corporate world.

After landing a role in a corporate banking training program out of undergrad, I climbed the corporate ladder from analyst to associate and on to VP, ED and Market Executive. During that time, I utilized mentors, coaches and countless leadership development programs to discover my strengths, solidify my values and discover my true purpose. I pivoted to attend graduate school, explored the nonprofit sector and ultimately achieved my goal of transitioning to full-time coaching. I know what it takes to get noticed, lead with purpose, get promoted and make a career transition. My top strengths are Empathy, Harmony, Positivity, Communcation and Winning Others Over, and I can be your thinking partner while you strive towards this next phase.
