“Everyone on Earth has a treasure that awaits them. We, people's hearts, seldom say much about those treasures, because people no longer want to go in search of them. We speak of them only to children. Later, we simply let life proceed, in its own direction, toward its own fate. But, unfortunately, very few follow the path laid out for them - the path to their Personal Legends, and to happiness.”
Paulo Coelho | The Alchemist
My dream is to help people pivot in their career by enhancing their current situation, or creating a new one. Career transitions are not always easy. Sometimes they happen unexpectedly and are a time of crisis. Sometimes people are burned out and unhappy in their job, but feel too tired or short on time to tackle the job search process. Sometimes people are overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. I meet each client wherever they are in their own unique journey and provide guidance and tools for obtaining a more rewarding career.
Career guidance services include reflecting on personal strengths and values, developing goals, networking, formulating career action plans, creating quality resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles, crafting strategies for research, job searches, personal branding, and promotions, and preparing for interviews.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
DR. EMMA SARRO
I have always had a difficult time making decisions, especially those that impact my professional life. I found myself remaining in stagnant careers for too long. Kathryn was able to understand my point of view and provide advice in a way that was tangible, individualized, and compassionate. Her ability to understand my goals and help guide me to them has made me a stronger and happier person with a new career in a different professional arena, with unending opportunities.
Kathryn is AMAZING! She guided me with enhancing my resume and cover letter in a way that was impactful and in line with all the latest trends. Updating my resume seemed daunting, I was so thankful to have Kathryn supporting me every step of the way. In addition to advising on structure, she also helped with syntax, verbiage, and format. Truly a one-stop-shop! I couldn't be more proud of the resume Kathryn and I created.
