Meaningful Work Has Tangible Value:
Your work is inextricably
linked to the rest of your life.
Five Reasons to Invest in a Career Coach:
Heal Burnout.
What burnout can look like: leaving work each day exhausted, complaining constantly, and an inability to recharge despite self-care efforts and vacation days.
Resolve Boredom.
What boredom can look like: not feeling challenged, watching the clock (scheming ways to leave early undetected), scrolling incessantly, disengagement.
Pursue Growth.
What growth can look like: seeking a promotion, mastering a new success skill, expanding emotional intelligence, negotiating a pay raise, preparing and strategizing your next career step.
Create Clarity.
What clarity can look like: resolving uncertainty in current career trajectory, determining which career ladder is for you, deciding if it's time to quit your current job, and strategizing the next career move.
Redefine Success.
What recalibration can look like: a major life change (crisis, location change, kids, etc.) that has shifted your wants, needs and priorities. Wanting/needing a new definition of what success looks like and feels like.

Make a smooth transition from individual contributor to leader.
The skills required for leadership are different than the skills required to be a successful contributor (and different than the skills to get promoted). New leaders also benefit from support and mentorship for their new challenges.
Expand emotional intelligence and develop socio-emotional skills.
Many industries focus their curriculums primarily on technical skills, but focus very little on leadership training. Every manager should receive intensive, formal training on the unique dynamics of having people in their charge.
Make and negotiate difficult decisions with courage and clarity.
Leaders continually have big decisions on their plate that data alone can't solve. There are endless options, infinite spirals of nuance, and no way to make everyone happy. Get the tools to make clear decisions with confidence.
Develop excellent communication, connection and conflict skills.
Leaders must set clear roles, goals and expectations. If these are not in place, there will be uncertainty and confusion in your team. Uncertainty and confusion breed disconnection, leading to unproductive conflict and tension.
Navigate crisis, constant change or a major life shift with resilience.
Leadership is one of the most rewarding, but also one of the most challenging roles a human can hold. Leaders must be diligent to fill their own cup and get the support they need, especially in times of great change.

Work relationships are human relationships.
Genuine care, connection and support cannot be faked, only felt. How do you develop this? Empathy, emotional intelligence and consistent use of language that catalyzes connection.
Leadership is about people skills, not technical skills. You can only grow your team to the point you've grown yourself. Self-awareness can be a catalyst for connection with followers, or it can be a chasm. Connection boosts courage, meaning and purpose within a team.
I want...
to boost my team's brainpower, belonging and bottom line.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
"I’d been feeling hesitant, vulnerable, and embarrassed to share one of my career aspirations. When I told Whitney about my aspiration, she nodded, smiled, and said, “The world needs that.” In that moment, my dream didn’t feel like a vague “someday” anymore. It felt tangible. It felt meaningful."
LAUREN
"I'm thrilled to announce...I got a new job! It's an amazing culture, amazing benefits, it checks all my values boxes and I'm getting paid more! I have Whitney to thank for helping me manifest this in my life. She gave me the strength and guidance to put this out into the universe. Knowing more about myself and the way I operate through the Enneagram has truly been such a light."
JENNIFER
"Whitney’s coaching gave me so much clarity about the kind of career I want and the steps I need to take to get there. Coaching helped me think about things I never had before and gave me essential tools to achieve my goals."
ANNIE
"Coaching helped pull me out of an entrepreneurial standstill. Sometimes I still need someone to root for me and help me set new goals. Whitney is so good at all of that and more. I’ve really improved upon my ability to show up as my best self consistently since I started working with her and that feels so good."
