IT’S TIME TO
KNOW YOUR VALUE
and apply it to your contribution and service to the world
CAREER MENTORING
THAT CHALLENGES YOU INTO YOUR POWER
It’s not always easy for us to see our own value, especially when we’re caught up in the fast pace of the corporate world. It’s very common: even when we’re talented and successful, we often rely on others—bosses, colleagues, loved ones—to reflect our worth back to us. But that reliance is quite fragile, when based on external sources.
It’s alluring and easy to let work define your worth, finding comfort in a steady paycheck and the occasional small victory. It’s an understandable trade, but it comes with risks. When a job is lost—due to layoffs, restructuring, or forces beyond your control—the identity and value you built around your career can easily vanish with it. Rely on others to define your worth, and when they’re not around, you may be left questioning your worth altogether.
Job security is ultimately an illusion—we all know it deep inside, but find comfort in it nonetheless. Real security lies in finding a source of value that is both beyond and within your role—one that can’t be taken away. As a career mentor, I help you explore and strengthen that inner foundation, nurturing a sense of value that is enduring, meaningful, and truly your own. The people I help are able to clearly and confidently speak about themselves without feeling fake. They carve their role at work, bringing their talents to the table, no matter the job description or title on the cubicle. They hear what others find valuable in their contributions, but they don’t define themselves by them. These are the marks of true inner power.
HOW I CAN HELP
Discover Your Value Beyond the Job
Your worth is more than the role you hold or the company you work for. My mentoring helps you know and embody your unique strengths and passions beyond what anyone has told you, guiding yourself to see and source the security and strength we so often seek in others. As your career mentor, I will be with you on this path of self-discovery, and aiding you in stepping further into a fulfilling and thrilling working life.
Express Your Talents with Confidence
Career mentoring is a journey to uncover and express the talents that make you who you are. Whether you’re looking to advance in your field, switch paths, or simply find more fulfillment in your current role, mentoring gives you the tools to communicate your skills and passions clearly. This isn’t just about improving performance—it’s about feeling value, and confidence in knowing what you uniquely offer.
Build Inner Security and Resilience
Imagine having a foundation of self-belief that doesn’t waver with the fleeting changes in the corporate world. Through my career mentoring, you develop a deep sense of inner security that stays with you, regardless of external circumstances. Learn to trust your abilities, find loyalty in yourself, and cultivate a sense of stability that’s rooted within, not dependent on external tokens of recognition.

Together, we craft a professional life that is aligned with your personal value and sense of self, creating a career path that’s successful because it is fulfilling.
MY METHODS & BACKGROUND
After two decades of working and consulting within the corporate world, I saw enough of my colleagues – countless employees, with a few exceptions, of course, going through the motions imposed by others, their passion lying elsewhere, or deeply buried under the facade of their prescribed office culture – and I realized I could help them dig their way out, if I could get out of it myself.
The exceptions I mentioned, they lived and breathed their work, and seemed to carry their day with power and agency, making things happen that weren’t prescribed, taking pride in what they turned in, and actively seeking feedback – really for their own purposes, not someone else’s. It’s like they were living in the groove that they carved for themselves. They were the deepest work friends, the funnest, most engaging collaborators, and those quickest to rise in their careers. This didn’t seem to be relegated to one level in the hierarchy – I saw both types in all levels.
Because of my training in conscious awareness and relationship skills, I knew what I saw in action at work was a difference in what we’d call a “baseline.” Rather than some mindset you can talk yourself in and out of, I’m talking about the energetic starting point of your day – kind of like the surface of the water in the pool: you can dip down under it, and jump up out of it at different points, but it’s the level you end up floating at. This doesn’t just change with a secret self-help tool.
I had the keys to those skills inside, and for a time I was one of them, continuing to apply my passion and self-sourced value even though it was often unreciprocated, unappreciated, and exploited by the company I vowed my dedication and loyalty to. When my passions and working world shifted enough for me to choose a new path, I felt renewed interest in making that path the service I offer now.
what you can expect
we find your value
When you feel worthless – and hey, we all do sometimes – it’s comforting to hear what someone else sees. This is often where we start. I’m good at noticing the qualities of your character that you can count on. And then you can expect us to verify what we find in some personality tests like Strengths Finder, Enneagram, and in outreach to friends and colleagues. But we go beyond this external validation, into feeling a connection and inner knowing of these qualities.
WE IDENTIFY YOUR PATTERNS
Expect to go weeding in the garden. We all have unhealthy thought patterns, emotional blocks, and even self-destructive tendencies that show up just in time to mess up a good groove. I love finding these with you, because when you get rid of just one for a time, it’ll never come back with the same strength, and then you’re going to want to pull more of the weeds. It’s that liberating feeling I know you’re just going to love feeling.
We practice things out loud
I just love people who live out loud. Imagine being unapologetic about your power. This only comes with safe trial and practice – trying on words physically, and seeing how they feel; doing some stuff and seeing if it feels right. I’m not really shaping you into some ideal I see – It’s more that I’m there with you as you self-actualize, and guiding you into your own choices.
Expect some transformation
We’re changing all the time, and so is the world around us, even if we don’t notice it. Our work together is likely to result in additional awareness and agency around these changes. I can see that what happens, too, is that you start to welcome and embrace changes rather than feeling at the affect of them, or hoping they don’t happen. You’re not going to feel great all the time, like some facebook post of yourself – but you’ll be able to ride the waves as they come.
