Your Personal Strategist
My Story
Hello friends and visitors....
I’m so glad you’re here. If you’ve landed on my site, chances are you’re stuck in the job search grind, or feeling like you’re in a career rut or basically feeling overlooked, underappreciated, or overwhelmed by office drama and politics.
I’ve been there, too, as someone who’s had to navigate toxic, ego-driven coworkers, ecclectic, hard to please bosses, and survive team conflict with the endless pressure to “do it all” as a working mom.
Just like you, I know what it’s like to wrestle with procrastination, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome while trying to get ahead without burning out or selling your soul. I've learned what works and sadly what doesn't.
Further, In my roles I supported employees, management and executives align their careers around coportate goals. But, I'm here to say (confess) that formal processes weren't nearly as important as the informal ones; what's said behind glass walls typically meant more than meeting KPI's. That's why everyone should have 2 career strategies, one that's official and one that climbs the 'hidden corporate ladder' lol. I can help with both; and the following is what my clients are experiencing now from working with me...
Landing meaningful work that lights you up
Dealing with toxic dynamics and personalities
Navigating office politics without losing your integrity
Getting noticed, promoted, and growing with confidence
And yes — along the way, you’ll also build a stronger relationship with yourself. Because thriving at work starts from within and self awareness.
I’m your personal strategist — part career whisperer, part workplace truth-teller — here to help you cut through the noise, own your worth, and move forward with clarity (and maybe a few laughs, too).
​
where I’ve been (and what that means for you...)
I started out as a therapist, untangling people's inner worlds. Eventually, I brought that knack into the business world — becoming a Certified Human Resources Professional and working with some of the biggest corporate players out there.
I've done the rounds: labour negotiations, executive coaching, recruitment, salary planning, succession planning, M&As, company-wide downsizing (fun times). I've walked factory floors and sat at boardroom tables.
So what does that mean for you?
It means I know how workplaces really work — not the polished brochure version, but the behind-the-scenes, who-gets-promoted-and-why version. I’ve been the one designing and applying the processes, sitting in on the decision-making rooms, and seeing who gets 'the nods' and who do not (and why). My years of inside information means that I don’t just guess at how the game is played — I helped write the rules.
My formula for winning at the “career game” is Psychological. From what I witnessed, there aren't workplace issues but rather personal issues at the workplace; human needs playing out in professional spaces — insecurities, egos, fears, people-pleasing, power games, and everything in between. Once you see this, you can't unsee the game board and learn to play it — without losing your soul in the process.
Whether you’re trying to outmaneuver a cutthroat coworker, survive your boss’s mood swings, or break into the cliques (the golf crew, the craft beer bros, or whatever it is these days) — we've got this!
My coaching is not typical. It’s a blend of neuro-psychology with real life straight talk and a pinch of humour — so you'll feel at ease working on getting what it is you want and go where you’re meant to go.
If this sounds like the help you need, write to me and we'll set up a time to chat.
