Hi, I'm Erin, Career & Executive Coach/Consultant.
I help high-achieving professionals make smarter career moves.
My clients are often already successful. They’ve built strong careers, but they’ve reached a point where they want to be much more intentional about what comes next. They don’t want to make another move simply because an opportunity appears or because it seems like the logical next step.
Our work starts with figuring out where you actually want to go. Then we build the positioning, relationships, visibility and job-search strategy to get there.
My work pulls from 25 years of coaching professionals in and out of the workplace, leading organizational development, human resources, and leadership development, and studying behavioral science and positive psychology. I’ve been named a “Top Coach” by multiple publications, and a “50 under 50 Rising Entrepreneur and Executive."
Your career can look successful on paper and still be ready for an upgrade.
You’ve worked hard to get where you are. You’ve built experience, credibility, and a track record you’re proud of.
But maybe the work doesn’t challenge you anymore. You’re ready for more influence, more money, or a bigger scope. You want to pivot into something different. Or you simply know you don’t want to spend the next 5 years doing more of the same.
This is the point where a lot of successful professionals start looking at job postings.
But there's a better place to start.
Before deciding what jobs to pursue, we figure out what you actually want your career to look like next — the work, impact, environment, compensation, growth, and life you want it to support.
Then we build the strategy to make it happen.
The Career Upgrade Program
Make your next career move a strategic one.
Career Upgrade is my signature coaching program for experienced professionals and leaders who are ready to make a meaningful career move.
We start by getting clear on what you want next and where your experience can take you. From there, we sharpen how you position yourself, rebuild your resume and LinkedIn, develop a targeted networking and job-search strategy, prepare for interviews, and negotiate the strongest possible offer.
You’ll have a clear direction, a compelling professional brand, stronger access to the people and opportunities that matter, and a strategy for turning your experience into a role that gives you more of what you want from your career.
Career Upgrade takes you from figuring out what you actually want next to landing a role that delivers more of what matters to you — whether that’s greater impact, compensation, growth, flexibility, meaning, or something else entirely.
Here’s how we turn the roadmap into a clear, actionable strategy for your next move.
1. Clarify Your Direction
Define what you want next and the roles, organizations, and opportunities that fit your strengths, motivations, values, goals, and priorities.
2. Position Your Value
Build a compelling professional brand and career story, then bring it to life across your resume, LinkedIn, networking, outreach, and interviews.
3. Build Access & Visibility
Develop a targeted job-search and networking strategy that gets you in front of the right people and opportunities — including the ones you won’t find on a job board.
4. Land the Right Role
Interview with confidence, evaluate opportunities thoughtfully, negotiate your strongest offer, and choose the role that moves your career in the right direction.
And throughout it all, we build the confidence to pursue bigger opportunities, communicate your value, navigate the inevitable ups and downs of a job search, and make smart decisions about your career.
