Career Coaching Sessions

I provide premium one-on-one sessions virtually with creatives to get to the root of their issue.

I dig deep into your goals, strengths, and opportunities to build a creative career that excites, energizes, and ultimately rewards you. There's no catch, it's that simple.

These individual sessions cater to all.

Whether you're an author, writer, designer, director, business owner, or mentor — it’s safe to say I can help you because I've been around the block a few times. These premium sessions cater to the unique needs of each client. I work closely with my clients throughout these sessions to ensure their goals are met and they are off to succeed.

Here's a small list of some of the things I do during my tailored sessions:

  • Guided self-analysis and awareness frameworks for better career direction.
  • Candid discussions to help guide you down the right path.
  • Get expert feedback on your portfolio and/or website to enhance your competitiveness.
  • Boost your brainstorming and ideation skills with creativity strategies.
  • A freelancer's guide to managing finances.
  • The best presentation techniques for sharing your work with clients and colleagues.

So, invest in yourself!
