Our brand resonates with our clients because we were once in their shoes – we’ve been there – as career pivoters and returners! We believe if you can’t see it, you can’t be it, so we role model what success looks like for our clients and share what we learned from our own personal experiences and professional expertise.

Our ideal client is a woman exploring career transition in her 40s, 50s, or beyond. She’s either returning to the paid workforce after a break (she’s had professional success in the past and the credentials to show for it!) or she’s looking to make a change in her existing career.
