I’ve always loved helping others define their careers.
It kills me to see people stagnate, shy away from opportunities, and let work take over their lives. Too often, talented people feel the need to play by others’ nonsensical rules—or take themselves out of the game entirely.
Let’s make your own rules.
I love
turning big, bold career ideas into actionable strategies
Prior to becoming a career coach, I had a successful corporate career leading organizations through transformational change.
I started my career in Organizational Change Management at Accenture, then moved to Citibank, where I rose through the ranks to become a Director.
(I threw in a brief yet impactful semester at Parsons School of Design to keep things interesting.)
I’m an INTJ. We see possibilities everywhere, make connections between seemingly disparate things, and break big ideas and into implementable steps. Any of this sound like what you need?!
I’ve always wanted to go many places and do many things in my life and career, so I tend to attract people who want to do the same.
I've made quite a few career pivots
• Getting paid corporate money to write full-time.
• Finding a start-up environment in a giant corporate bureaucracy.
• Negotiating a year-long job transition, which allowed me to take a sabbatical, find a new role, and start my coach certification training.
• Turning a dead-end job into a Director-level position so I could run my business on the side.
• Quitting my corporate job to run my business full-time!
I’m a naturally risk-averse person who believes in taking calculated risks. My biggest leaps have been the most rewarding BY FAR.
And my best career moves began with telling people what I wanted.
“I know your official title is ‘career coach,’ but you do so much more…
I think really you are this leader who guides people on their roadmap to happiness.
And maybe that’s a new career, maybe that’s shedding different things in their life, maybe it’s a change in relationships.
You are amazing at helping people to find those pieces of happiness, which creates a happier life, which is the magic of what you do.
You help them take steps that seem daunting, unreachable, or out of scope for them.
And when people do it, that’s where they find the happiness and the joy and the momentum to move forward.”

My Mission & Vision
My mission is to change the world one fulfilling career at a time, challenging the status quo along the way.
My vision is to create a community of inspiring leaders who meaningfully contribute to a kind, healthy, equitable, and inclusive world.
My Philosophy
A fulfilling career is one important piece of the larger puzzle. Life shouldn’t be crammed in around the edges.
We are all leaders. Leadership is not about titles or rank; it’s about having a code…and the courage to uphold it.
We all rise together. There is strength in the collective power of community, connection, and relationships.
You have the ability to create everything you want.
The first step is being honest with yourself about what that is.
My Approach
I’ll help you think beyond the obvious moves to career options you couldn’t have imagined.
We’ll combine your strengths and interests in new ways—and connect them to real opportunities.
You’ll develop as a powerful leader and begin taking control of your career Day 1.
The best careers are the ones that align with who you are at your best.
Life is too precious to stay in a job that doesn't work for you
For much of my career, I settled.
I chose the path of least resistance out of fear, uncertainty, lack of confidence, rationalization, you name it.
My career looked great on paper. But the idea of continuing down an unfulfilling path for another 20+ years scared the crap out of me.
I knew I was meant for something more.
I wanted to be a leader—truly lead—on my own terms. And I wanted to live a big life centered around the activities that brought me the most joy.
Once I committed to approaching my career differently, my whole life changed for the better.
This is what I want for you.

This was my first time committing to career coaching (I was holding some cynicism about whether it was ‘for me’) and I can describe my coaching experience as life-changing.
Caroline has a rare mix of deep industry experience and laser-like emotional intelligence. She is highly present, insightful, not afraid to go deep, excellent on follow through, and works her butt off to get you where you want to go. I highly recommend her (and coaching in general - yep, I’m a convert). Wishing you all a year of growth and saying yes to what you really want.
