Welcome back to my weekly newsletter where I help generalists like you build your career by design and navigate big transitions with clarity and confidence ✨ If you've been forwarded this, subscribe here I hear the same question at least 3x every week in different forms: “What jobs do you think I could be a fit for based on my background?” “I want to pivot into Product, is that even possible?” “Do I need to get an MBA first?” Behind each of these questions is a deeper one that we’re actually...

I was sitting at my laptop, reflecting on how the holiday season always marks the end of another year, when I caught myself doing something high achievers do all the time: Focusing on where I fell short while completely overlooking how far I've come. Like my client who landed the $150K role she'd been gunning for, only to immediately start worrying about if she was really ready for it. When you're in the messy middle of working toward your next career goal — that time in between where you are...

If you're anything like me, you have trouble slowing down to rest sometimes. Turns out it's just as easy to be "always on" when you love the work you do as when you have a needy boss sending 9PM pings... The job search is no different. At any given time during a career transition, you have a million thoughts going through your head: Where are all the good opportunities? Wait, what do I even want next? And how do I tell my story? Who do I need to network with? What's the best message to send...

Looking for a job in 2024 is like starting a business — especially if you’re a generalist. After building my coaching business for the last 18 months, I can tell you why this is painfully true (and what to do about it). Picture this: It’s February 2023, and I’m doing that thing where you say you’re starting a business but really you’re just… thinking about starting a business. I got sick of waiting for "the perfect time" and started taking action a few months later. After growing my business...

Change doesn’t magically appear. You can vote for it, sure. You can wait for it to happen to you. Or you can create it. You can make the changes you want. How? By choosing different actions today to align with the future you want. I spent a lot of time in my career waiting for the Perfect Time to make a change. I stayed loyal to companies long after my internal expiration date, hoping things would get better after I saw the next project through. Until I realized it was up to me to get out of...

Last week, I shared with you my favorite interview stories framework. But what happens once you land that dream company interview, you’ve done everything you can to stand out in the process, you’re in the final stages, and you’re realllllly hoping it will work out. You get overly attached. It consumes your thinking. This leaves you: Feeling nervously hopeful before the interview Overthinking what you said during it Anxiously checking your email for next steps Distracted from taking action on...

I know behavioral interviews can feel like an annoying lil dance. "Tell me about a time you [insert random situation]" How the hell do you sum up your amazing generalist experience in a 2 minute story?! The answer: Use a framework. I don’t like the typical STAR interview method, so I’ll give you an alternative. As a candidate, I always found STAR too vague. What should “the situation” include? What is the “task” if I proposed the project? What’s actually the best way to set up my story? It...
