This is the part
where you actually figure it out.
Twelve weeks. A real process. By the end, you know what you're chasing — and you've already started moving on it. Not someday. Now.
You're not stuck because you're broken. You're stuck because no one taught you how.
Everything before this was scaffolded. Classes had syllabi. School had semesters. There was always a next step laid out for you. Then it stops — and suddenly you're supposed to figure out the rest of your life with no map and a hundred opinions in your head.
That's not a you problem. That's a system problem. The good news: there's a method for this. The next 12 weeks are about giving you that method — and getting real momentum behind it.
- everyone else seems to have it figured out
- you keep starting things and losing steam
- online applications go into a black hole
- you don't even know what you're aiming for
- "just network" makes you want to disappear
- you actually know what energizes you
- 2–3 directions that genuinely fit who you are
- a resume + LinkedIn that don't get tossed
- real conversations with real hiring managers
- a plan you actually want to execute
Three phases. One direction.
This isn't open-ended therapy. It's a structured arc — discover who you are, narrow what fits, then go execute. By week twelve, you're not still wondering. You're already in motion.
Discover
Real assessments — not a vibes-based personality quiz. We map what energizes you, what drains you, what you're actually good at, and what kinds of work fit who you are. The goal: you stop guessing.
- MBTI, CliftonStrengths, Strong Interest Inventory
- Core values + life-design work — what you actually want a life to look like
- Honest conversations about what's worked and what hasn't
Strategize
From "everything's open" to 2–3 real directions. We pressure-test each one against who you are and what's actually out there, then build a 90-day roadmap so you stop wondering what to do this Monday.
- 2–3 aligned career paths — not "what looks good on paper"
- A 90-day plan with real milestones, not vibes
- What skills, experience, and conversations to prioritize first
Execute
This is the part that's different. Most coaching ends with a plan. We end with action. Many sessions are working sessions — we draft the outreach together, send it on the call, refine the resume in real time.
- Resume + LinkedIn that get reads instead of crickets
- Direct outreach to hiring managers — bypass the black hole
- Interview practice with live feedback so you sound like yourself
What this is — and what it isn't.
What it is
A structured 12-week process built around how you're actually wired. Mostly working sessions, not pep talks. We make real things together — resume, outreach, conversations — on the call.
Treated like an adult. Honest feedback. A coach who's actually been the hiring manager on the other side of the table for 15+ years.
What it isn't
Therapy. Open-ended "let's see where this goes" coaching. A motivational speech. Someone telling you what you're supposed to want.
Also not your parents pushing you into something. This works because you actually want it. If you don't, that's fine — but this isn't the right time.
Stuff you'll use for years.
I was completely lost after college. I didn't know what I wanted, and applying online wasn't going anywhere. Working with Jeff gave me a way to actually figure out what I'm good at — and the steps to go after it. I left with a plan I actually believed in.

I've spent my career building and leading teams at Target, Apple, LendingClub, and Upgrade. I've sat in the chair you're trying to get in front of. I know what gets a resume tossed in 10 seconds vs. what actually gets someone hired.
I've also been fired and laid off. I know what it feels like to rebuild from the inside out. I'm not here to give you a pep talk — I'm here to help you build something real.
Want to actually do this?
Next step is a free 60-minute call — no pitch, no pressure, just a real conversation about where you are and whether this is the right move.
