CAREER COACHING

Who It's For

• Researchers ready to pivot into industry, government, or nonprofit sectors

• Scientists feeling stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed by the transition process

• Academics who want to translate their skills but aren't sure where to start

• Graduate students and postdocs exploring careers beyond academia

What You'll Gain

• Clarity on your transferable skills and how to articulate them

• Understanding of industry roles, cultures, and expectations

• A compelling career narrative that resonates with non-academic employers

• Confidence in networking, interviewing, and negotiating offers

• A realistic action plan tailored to your goals and timeline

My Approach

As someone who completed a PhD in Biology and successfully transitioned into learning and organizational development, I understand the unique challenges academics face—imposter syndrome, identity shifts, translating research into relatable skills, and navigating a job market that feels foreign.

I combine career coaching with psychometric assessments to help you understand your strengths, values, and motivators—so you can pursue opportunities that truly fit.

What we might explore together:

• What you want (and don't want) in your next chapter

• How to translate your academic experience into industry language

• Building your network and personal brand outside academia

• Targeting roles that align with your strengths and interests

• Preparing for interviews and evaluating offers

What's Included

Typical engagement (3–6 months):

• Initial discovery session to clarify your goals and starting point

• Optional: psychometric assessment(s) and debrief (Hogan, EQ-i 2.0, VIA)

• Regular coaching sessions (60 minutes, bi-weekly or monthly)

• Resume, LinkedIn, and narrative review

• Between-session support and accountability

• Resources and frameworks tailored to your transition

Shorter engagements for focused support (e.g., interview prep, resume review) are also available.
