Getting Started

Prior to booking, you’ll review the three steps that begin on this page.

• Step 1 of 3 lets you choose the path (project or program) that best describes your need state (one job target, multiple career paths, career curious).

• Step 2 of 3 lets you review package and program details, including timeline, pricing, methodologies, and tools.

• If it makes sense to talk about potentially working together, Step 3 of 3 lets you compare all three paths in grid form, and then book a New Client Orientation.

If you’re considering an investment of time and resources, I want you to be aware of what to expect and how we’ll work to achieve your goals.

That detail is nuanced, and it isn’t for everyone, so the details I provide on this site let you prepare thoughtfully for our initial call. Also, if you decide that my approach isn’t right for you, you’ll leave the spot open for someone else and be free to go search alternative resources.

• Zoom: I’ll share my screen via Zoom across your entire project, whether you’re next door or across the globe.

• Microsoft Word and Excel: No matter how much I love other tools by Google and Apple, the highly formatted work I do requires good ol’ Microsoft tools. This is true of some applicant tracking systems (ATS), too, which struggle to accurately populate their ATS fields when ingesting a Pages file (even when it’s been PDFd).

• Acuity Scheduling (now a Squarespace company): I’ve used four calendaring systems over the last decade, and Acuity is the winner for me, hands down.

• Stripe: Payment processing made easy. It’s also integrated with Acuity.

About twenty percent of my clients go into overtime; meaning they exceed the original project estimate and begin paying for my time on an appointment-by-appointment basis.

There are many reasons a client might go into overtime. Here are a few of the more common ones:

The client:

• needs to process their thoughts

• isn’t actually ready and needs coaching

• is undertaking a significant career transition, whether up, down, or laterally

• sees unexpected value in this unique process

• goes into their own state of self-examination, introspection, or iteration, and needs more time than expected

When booking any appointment, you’ll have the choice to be placed on my waitlist.

Here’s how that works:

When a client needs to reschedule an appointment, my assistant or I will email waitlist members to offer the newly opened spot. Everyone is BCC’d for confidentiality.

The first person to reply gets the spot.
