Let's build your next chapter together
How to Decide if this is Right for You
this is for you if
- You’re in the market, actively job searching or preparing to move and want clarity, direction, and momentum.
- You’ve been through a shake-up (redundancy, restructure, rejection) and are ready to take back control.
- You’re ready to show up, do the work, invest in getting it right, and get expert support that makes it easier and more effective.
- You want someone who’ll challenge your thinking, help you tell your story, and sharpen your edge.
this is not for you if
- You’re hoping someone else will do the work for you, I work with you, not instead of you.
- You want quick wins without putting yourself into the process. This takes reflection, action, and momentum.
- You’re just casually exploring. This is for people who want to move forward with intention.
- You’re not ready to get honest about what you want or show up differently to get it.
What My Clients Are Saying
Real Results. Real People
The use of bots within GPT was transformative, it revealed aspects of my professional and personal strengths that I hadn’t recognized before, providing me with a deeper understanding of myself.
Your active listening and well-structured approach stood out as the most valuable aspects. You provided the direction I needed and helped me feel grounded during an overwhelming period. The actionable plans we created were especially helpful for navigating my new environment and building a strategy for success." When I first reached out, I was deep in a job search and struggling with confidence. The sessions helped me prepare methodically for interviews, pointing out blind spots I would have missed and giving me the tools to present my best self, and ultimately feel confident about it. As a result, I '"nailed" those interviews and landed the position. What meant the most was the ongoing genuine support, cheering me on, even after I received the offer. Your coaching sessions have been incredibly impactful. Honestly, before working with you, I felt a bit lost and unmotivated. I believed that my job search challenges were due to either not being good enough or doing something wrong. However, your guidance has completely shifted my perspective. From helping me refine my resume to improving my interview answers, you provided practical tools and actionable advice. Beyond that, our conversations gave me a fresh outlook on how to recognize and confidently present my strengths as a professional." The experience was not only transformative but also incredibly personal and supportive.
Having recently moved to the region and unfamiliar with the job market in Switzerland, I felt uncertain about how to approach my job search. Emily took the time to listen carefully, understand my needs, and guide me step by step through the process. Her warmth, combined with her extensive corporate experience, made the entire journey feel like a partnership." What You Might Be Wondering
I’m not actively job searching yet, is this still for me?
Yes. Many of my clients start when they know a change is coming, but aren’t sure what it looks like yet. The earlier you build clarity and positioning, the stronger and more strategic your next move will be.
I’m worried my age or background or career path will work against me.
This is more common than you think, and it’s exactly why this work matters. We’ll shape a narrative that reflects your strengths, experience, and credibility, no matter how non-linear your path has been.
What if I’m switching industries or functions?
Perfect. This program is designed to help you frame your transferable value and reposition your experience for a new direction. That’s what all the steps are about.
Can we customise the program?
Absolutely. While the full program includes 9 1:1 sessions across the five steps, we can tailor it based on where you are in your journey and what support you need most. The cost of the package will then be adjusted accordingly.
Is this just for women?
No, I work with professionals of all genders. That said, many of my clients are mid-career women navigating career transitions, and the support is shaped with empathy, directness, and strategy.
Can I do this if I’m already working full time?
Yes. Many clients do this alongside their current roles. Sessions are scheduled flexibly, and you’ll have support in between via WhatsApp and custom AI tools to keep you moving forward.
What if I live outside Switzerland?
No problem. My clients are based both inside Switzerland and beyond. While I offer in-person sessions in Zurich, most clients work with me online. I have worked extensively on a global platform during my professional corporate life, both physically and on-line, and always delighted to welcome anyone onboard from across the globe.
Do I need specific AI skills to work with the AI bots?
No. All training will be provided. The custom AI bots are powered by ChatGPT, and work best with the paid version of the model.
What languages do you work in?
The transformational program is conducted in English.
