Are you ready to get unstuck and design a meaningful career?

Do any of these sound familiar?

You want to be intentional about your career but keep spinning your wheels trying to figure it out.

You give time and attention to everyone else’s needs but haven’t focused on your own aspirations.

You know what you don’t want in your next role or company but you’re about as clear as a foggy mirror in figuring out what you do want. 

You’ve got a sneaky voice in your head that tells you it’s not possible to get all the things on your checklist with the salary you want. 

You’re in the right place.
You can get a job that brings you meaning
and checks all your boxes.

Now imagine…

You are brimming with ideas in the shower because you’ve never felt this enthusiastic about your job.

When you introduce yourself at social events, a genuine smile lights up your face because you’re proud to tell people what you do and how you’re making an impact.

At bedtime, you write in your journal how grateful you are to be surrounded by colleagues who support you signing off early to make your child’s piano recital instead of making you feel guilty.

My program is designed to make that happen for you.

Here’s what we’ll do together

Strengthen your mindset

We start by doing a mental detox. We identify your limiting beliefs and the negative chatter in your head that’s no longer serving you. This gets you in the right frame of mind to expand your idea of what’s possible, helps you see yourself in a new and empowering way, and sets you up to begin your journey from a position of strength and resilience.

Get clear on what you want

Together, we align your next career move with your values, strengths, and what you uniquely have to offer the world. You’ll get clear not only on what you want in your next role, but what you want out of life. Your career is just one element of what makes you a holistic and enriched individual.

Develop the plan

We map out the approach for how you’re going to land your amazing new job. You’ll use new and existing relationships to find the hidden jobs and unexpected opportunities. You’ll feel confident knowing you’re moving in a purposeful and planned direction and have the tools and systems to keep you organized and on track.

Communicate with confidence

Once we know what you’re after, then we focus on highlighting your relevant skills and expertise. You’ll understand how to succinctly and clearly communicate your value, ensure your resume and LinkedIn profile are showcasing you in the best light, and gain the tactics to powerfully show up when networking and interviewing.

Negotiate and seal the deal 

I’ll support you with scripts on how to handle compensation discussions throughout the interview process and we’ll get you comfortable countering your offer. You will get lifetime access to me for any and all salary negotiations. When you negotiate, you’re doing your part to reduce the gender pay gap. So put your big girl pants on and get ready to rock this (with me at your side).

What’s included

  • 9 coaching sessions via Zoom. Our first session is 90 minutes to align on your goals and co-create how we want to work together. All other sessions are 60 minutes. 

  • Exercises and resources to support all phases of your job search process

  • Unlimited, lifetime access to strategize with me for future salary negotiations

  • Access to my network and connections to advance your job search

  • Email support between sessions

Investment

This program is a $3,000 investment to get you a career that checks all your boxes. I also offer a payment plan of five monthly payments of $650. 

Just the one session where we strategize about your negotiation will allow you to earn your investment back – and then some.  

Now think about what lifetime negotiation access means. Not to mention the value of having a coach to guide you through the inevitable ups and downs that are part of the job search process.

My guarantee

I’m confident that coaching works and that I can help you. If you ever feel that our relationship isn’t helping you, I’ll credit you for any sessions we haven’t yet used. 

Don’t let another year go by on autopilot. Take control of your career and build it with intentionality.

What clients have to say

  • “One of the best decisions I've made”

    Working with Ava is one of the best decisions I have made in my career.

    I was looking for someone who could help me to find clarity and direction in what I wanted to do next, and Ava provided the resources, coaching, and support I needed.

    With her help, I was able to honestly explore my passions and skill set and make a plan for the future that makes me excited and hopeful.

    Ava helped me to reclaim my confidence and showed me what was possible.

    -Becky F.

  • “She’s 100% here for all of it”

    After parting ways with my last employer, my confidence was shot. I was exhausted and had lost sight of what I wanted to do and where I excelled.

    Ava offers a structured, yet flexible approach to career exploration. I now have a clear personal impact statement, a resume that actually tells a story, a short- and long-term professional plan, and best of all - I’ve rediscovered my spark.

    Our work together helped me land multiple interviews, and led me to a job I’m excited about. Her negotiation coaching is SO necessary in starting off a new role feeling confident and valued.

    I would highly recommend reaching out to Ava. There’s no need to go it alone, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner.

    -Jenni D

  • “Save yourself time and angst”

    I'm so glad I teamed up with Ava. I, too, thought that I had a great approach - until I met Ava and realized all the ways I can be positioning and preparing myself better. I'm already experiencing tons more success with my search, only after 3 weeks of working with Ava.

    Every mid- to late-career professional will go through major shifts in job role or industry. And never go through those shifts alone. Use a professional like Ava - you'll save yourself the time and angst of learning things the hard way.

    -Hardik S.

  • “Working with Ava revitalized me”

    I'd been wanting a new job but I was inconsistent with the job search process. My challenge was uncertainty about what I wanted to do.

    My gut reaction to trust Ava was spot on. She helped me uncover thinking patterns that were holding me back. Her approach was structured and it made the job search process feel manageable and less overwhelming.

    Ava’s coaching gave me concrete tools to help with the technical aspects of job searching and nurtured the "soul searching" required to understand what I wanted. Don't second-guess working with Ava; I am sure she'll be life-changing for you, too!

    -T. S.

  • “Everyone should have an Ava in their life”

    After 8 months of searching, I was really frustrated and lost and didn't know what I could do to move forward. I needed help.

    Ava gave me a different perspective that it's okay to want more and to want different things. She helped me evaluate what I need and who I am. It’s hard to describe yourself and what you do well so having those words and putting my story together was huge.

    I feel more confident about my own abilities and skills and I am less fearful and more fearless. She’s been a great decision for me. Everyone should have an Ava in their life!

    -Aimee A.

  • “It led me to the final round of interviews”

    After 10 successful years of running an agency, I was ready for a new challenge, to lead within a larger team, and increase my salary.

    The coaching sessions with Ava helped me realize I am ready for a much larger role than I was applying for. I learned how to frame my experiences and success and I gained confidence in myself.

    Ava will support your career goals with practical advice including how to manage and stand out in the interview process, reframe your experience for every role, and build confidence.

    -Julie F

  • "Ava's dedication to her clients is unmatched"

    From the very beginning of our relationship, Ava demonstrated an extraordinary ability to understand my unique circumstances and tailor her approach to meet my specific needs.

    One of the most significant breakthroughs I experienced under Ava's guidance was a shift in my mindset regarding the concept of success. She helped me very clearly define my priorities and values, which is already leading to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life.

    Working with Ava has had a profound impact on my relationships, my career trajectory, and my overall happiness.

    -C.M.

  • "I feel confident in taking the next step in my career journey"

    Ava is an empathetic and knowledgeable career coach. She created a safe space for me to be open and vulnerable, for example, actively listening and affirming my thoughts and feelings.

    Her use of probing questions to encourage me to see things from a new perspective was masterful. She also equipped me with tactical next steps.

    After my session with Ava, I feel confident in taking the next step in my career journey.

    -Tori C.
