Call me a glutton for punishment, but I love taking something that traditionally “sucks” (negotiating, networking, job search) and showing you how to use it for empowerment. Don’t worry, this isn’t some “just think positive!” BS. I genuinely believe that if done in the right way, it’s an opportunity for you to come out stronger. Here’s what I mean: Negotiate = Demonstrate your value to the company (and feel friggin’ proud of yourself!) Network = Forge authentic connections with a…

Have you ever paused in the middle of a work day and said to yourself: “Is this really what I want to be doing for a living?” So many of us spend our days staring at a screenFeeling a disconnect between our job and our aspirationsSometimes without even realizing we feel like something’s missing The sensation of unfulfillment at workThe nagging feeling that your talents aren’t being fully utilizedThe yearning for a career that lights a spark within youIt’s more common than you might think It’s…

“Can I just pay you to assign me to-do’s?” It was that comment from a private client of mine that sparked the idea of Ladies Get Hired. I’d been seeing a trend where my clients would have ah-ha moments during our sessions but by the next session, when I’d ask them if they followed through on them, the answer was usually no. Life was busy. They got overwhelmed. Sound familiar? I’ve learned a ton from the women I’m lucky to coach about navigating a career change. One of the most important…

Reader, you won’t believe what just happened. I wrote a really good email to you. It was an email I had meticulously planned out last week. I took a break, came back and… It was deleted. IT WAS DELETED!!!!!! After bursting into wailing sobs (in my defense, I am pregnant), and stomping around the house, I sat down to rewrite it. The email I rewrote was absolute crap. So I’m not sharing that with you. Then I realized I was having an extremely meta experience. My email to you was about how I…

Hey Reader, I’ve gotten a bunch emails from people asking if my Ladies Get Hired 90-Day Coaching Program is only for women who know what job they want next. It’s an great question, and the short answer: nope! This coaching cohort is for anyone who: Knows they want to pivot and need the tools, support, and accountability to do it Doesn’t like their current path, but isn’t sure what else is out there or how to navigate into it Feels overwhelmed by options and indecisions and needs help…

Hey Reader, I’ve been laid off 3 times in my career. The feeling of that waiting for that email from HR to find out if you’re safe … That unexpected 1:1 with your boss randomly added to your calendar … It’s all the worst. There will always be things you can’t control in your life. This is precisely why you should be proactive, and doing everything can to create your own safety net now. In other words, why wait for shit to hit the fan to get your shit together? Here are 5 things you can do…

Hey Reader, Tell me if this resonates. In the rollercoaster of my business and my life, it’s always the dips that teach me far more (though let’s be real, felt much worse.) I view job searching in the same way. All the wretched things about it – financial instability, loss of purpose, rejection, and self-doubt, feel so awful because they uncover the very things you’ve needed to address, but never prioritized. Why not? Life was good (or at least good enough), for you to keep ignoring. It’s not…

Holy moly, it’s 2024! Say WHAT. Where has the time gone?! You may have seen yesterday’s email, but given that you’ve registered (and hopefully attended!) one of our past Job Seeker Support Groups, I wanted to reach out directly to you. Almost 1,900 of you came through our meetups last year and I was blown away by the vulnerability with which you shared and the support you’ve shown one another. Having been laid off twice in my career, trust me when I say – I truly feel what you’re going…

No doubt you’ve seen the headlines. Thousands let go at one company after another. Job dissatisfaction is on the rise. Fights over return to work. Maybe those aren’t just headlines for you. Maybe it’s your reality. This past year, I met with 1,860 women and saw firsthand how anxious, uncertain, and overwhelmed they were as they struggled to look for a new job while keeping their spirits up and avoiding burnout. I didn’t just see it. I felt it…in my bones. Because looking for work doesn’t…
