Where Potential Meets Purpose

It takes talent and drive to reach an executive position. But for many, the journey has come to a standstill — unfinished or unsatisfying. Career coaching is about refining your purpose, re-engaging your potential, and crafting a career doing what you love to the best of your abilities.

We have helped thousands of professionals find jobs and careers that provide clarity, challenge, balance, and growth. Working in a one-on-one  setting with a resourceful and respected career coach, you’ll learn practical methods for achieving transformational results. And because we focus on senior-level executives, we understand the mindset and the marketplace for next stage success.

  • Michelle Godwin, SF Coalition of Essential Small Schools
    I knew what my overall mission was, but I didn't know how to get there. I wasn't confident about my skills, my experience, my future. Merideth talked me through it, helping me fill out her very comprehensive Career Compass tool to get a much clearer picture of my future career path.

    If I had to describe Merideth in two words, it would be perceptive and thoughtful. I worked with Merideth for two and a half years and boy what a difference that time made! Not only have I grown into a more thoughtful and insightful leader myself, but overall I feel I have become a better person as well.

  • I’ve had more interest in my career, and I’m being presented with more opportunities from recruiters and company execs, in the last 6-8 weeks than I’ve had in years. These are mostly unsolicited interactions.
  • Beth Budwig, UX Leader
    Celia is one of those rare people—she’s incisive and direct, yet warm and compassionate. This balance was key as I grappled with job search and then unemployment. She helped me play at a high level and I landed a fantastic job thanks to Celia's help with interview prep. She shifted my thinking and helped me show up as my best self.
