Career Strategy Session - 60 Minutes
One call with a career coach = get unstuck fast.
Make your next career move strategically.
Are you ready to stop overthinking about your career? Get clear, actionable next steps in your career in a single session, led by a career coach with 14+ years of experience in recruiting, HR, and coaching.
In 60 or 90 minutes, we’ll cut through the noise and map out exactly what to do next - whether that’s negotiating an offer, making a pivot, or fixing what’s keeping you underpaid.
You know where you want to go. I’ll show you how.
This is not a casual coaching call.
This is a focused, high-impact strategy session designed to get you unstuck and moving… fast.
Most clients come in feeling:
- unsure what their next move should be
- stuck between options
- underpaid but not sure how to fix it
- overwhelmed by job searching or pivoting
You leave with:
- a clear direction
- a specific plan
- and the confidence to execute immediately
What we can tackle:
Bring your situation. We’ll solve for it.
As a recruiting professional, I’ve been on the other side of the table for hundreds of negotiations, hired over 1000 people, and interviewed countless people. I’ll bring my 14+ years of recruiting leadership, HR, and coaching to the table to help solve your career questions.
Common focuses include:
- Salary negotiation strategy (job offers, raises, internal promotions)
- Job search strategy (why it’s not working + how to fix it)
- Networking strategy
- Mock interview session
- Interview preparation + strategy
- Transferable skills
- Company culture navigation
- Goal-setting
- Getting unstuck when you’ve been overthinking for months
If it impacts your career trajectory, we’ll handle it.

Who This Is For:
- You’re ready for the next move in your career, and you want to feel empowered with tools, resources, and guidance
- You have a big career decision to make and you want support in the process
- You know you’re underpaid, stuck, or misaligned and ready to change it
- You’re done overthinking and want a clear plan
- You want accountability, support, even, cheerleading in the next steps of your career… but also know that the real magic of coaching happens in the actions that you take (with guidance) independently
- You’re comfortable being self-reflective and asking tough questions of yourself
- You’re ready to take “imperfect action” after your session, even if your full career clarity isn’t defined yet
- Any industry, any seniority level - I’ve worked with everyone from high school students to executives
- U.S. or Canada-based professionals
Who This Is NOT For:
- You need help with a a BIG change (but good news: I offer that support in a Career Transformation Program)
- You want feedback on your resume or LinkedIn (but good news: I offer that support in a Candidate Brand Audit)
- You’re not ready to take action. You’ll leave this session with a clear list of next steps to take.
- You’re not open to feedback. By nature, this service is very feedback-oriented.
- You’re expecting a VERY magic bullet. While I’m very confident in the advice and strategies offered, there are so many variables. Career coaching helps you create the best strategy and materials to tackle the job search, but because I do not have any relation to the roles you would apply for, job offer results are not guaranteed (although I’m proud of the results my clients land!).
Career Strategy Call - Case Studies:
Client C: Offer Negotiation and Relocation (+$20k)
When we met:
The client had received a job offer but was not enthusiastic about the pay, which made making a decision difficult.
What we did:
- Evaluated the offer - what they were satisfied with, and what they were not
- Built a negotiation strategy + scripts based on HR strategies
- Prepared for multiple response scenarios
Results:
Successfully negotiated the job offer to a role she was excited to accept, adding into their offer:
Successfully negotiated the job offer to a role she was excited to accept, adding into their offer:
👉 $20,000 annual salary increase
👉 Relocation bonus (in their dream city)
👉 Higher level title than originally offered
Same job. Completely different outcome.
Client D: Stuck Job Search » Offer in Target City (After 6+ Months Searching)
When we met:
The client felt stuck because they had been job searching for 6+ months with no traction. On top of that, they were coming off a role with a toxic manager, and it was starting to wear on their confidence.
The client felt stuck because they had been job searching for 6+ months with no traction. On top of that, they were coming off a role with a toxic manager, and it was starting to wear on their confidence.
They wanted to relocate to a specific city. However, it was looking discouraging because they were not getting interviews locally or in their target market.
At that point, it felt like nothing was working.
What we did:
- Clarified what actually mattered in her next role (no more toxic bosses!)
- Identified transferable skills she could use to expand her options
- Tightened her job search strategy
- Built a simple, realistic networking approach that felt like a good fit
- Talked through how to evaluate roles and company environments
She was already doing a lot right.
This was about refinement, direction, and confidence, not overhaul.
Results:
Within a few months, everything shifted.
Within a few months, everything shifted.
👉 Received a job offer in her target city
👉 Successfully transitioned into a new field using transferable skills
👉 Moved out of a stalled job search and into a role that aligned with her next chapter
After months of no movement, she was employed in the city she wanted to live in.
Career Strategy Call Pricing
As a believer of salary transparency, I’m also a believer in coaching pricing transparency.
- 60 minute call: $375
- 90 minute call: $500
In both calls, you’ll receive similar benefits. The 90 minute call was added by demand - once we start uncovering pieces of your career, there is A LOT to talk about! This is a great option if you want extra time for discussion or Q+A.
Clients regularly use this session to negotiate thousands more in their offers, clarify pivots, or finally make a move they’ve been putting off for months. Are you ready for your career move?

Nicole was able to coach me through a big career transition. I was hesitant and scared about taking a different path at a peak point in my career. She was able to help guide me through rediscovering talents that I wasn’t acknowledging.
It was empowering, and I ultimately was able to land a great job in a dream work place making the money that I deserve. ”
