Here are some examples of the most common requests we receive:
"I need help with thinking through a career transition to a new field. I don't want a career coach who just fixes up your LinkedIn and resume. I need to create a concrete, structured plan for networking for someone with autism and ADHD who sees it as a nebulous, ambiguous activity."
"I need a coach who can help me stay in my role for the long haul. I need support to strengthen my adaptability muscles, manage fragmented communication, navigate being the "only" in multiple intersectional identities, manage my time and stress response, and be purposeful about how I embody my leadership role."
“I’m looking for someone who is not just a coach and not just a therapist. I need someone who can help me navigate, heal, and move on from the trauma of serving in a role during an organizational restructuring that is uprooting all I've worked for."
"I'm looking for 'Olympic Athlete' level coaching: someone who can help me stay strategic, manage power dynamics and politics, and keep me sharp during a highly challenging time for our organization."
