Thanks to Kerry and his coaching, I have launched my own business, published two books with a third on the way - I am helping the community and living my dreams!

As a career coach, I help fundraising professionals land their first or next nonprofit job, more effectively navigate the workplace on their terms, and start-off and maintain their freelance careers. Whether you’re breaking into the field for the first time or you’re an established professional, this package is designed for anyone looking to refresh their career and advance to their next stage.

I’ve worked one-on-one with dozens of nonprofit and fundraising professionals to get them hired, promoted, and respected at work. My goal is to help you build a career aligned to your needs that is fulfilling and creates the social impact you want to make.

A four-week coaching program customized to your professional circumstances and unique career goals. Each session will be focused on an aspect of positioning yourself successfully, whether we’re pinpointing your skill gaps, building out your resume, practicing your interview skills, improving your communication approach, or defining how you’ll articulate your personal brand.

These sessions often cover some of the professional development areas below, but will vary based on the coachee:

• Finding clarity by identifying the next career path you should consider in or out of fundraising.
• Developing a concise, distinctive, and compelling story about your career for yourself and others.
• Drafting an effective resume, cover letter, portfolio, and LinkedIn profile that generates interviews or leads.
• Recommendations on how to stand out from other candidates in a competitive job market.
• Determining whether you’re best suited to position yourself as specialist vs. a generalist.
• Interview preparation including identifying questions you’ll likely be asked and practicing with mock interviews.
• Ensuring you’re successful in a new role from the beginning.
• Improving your approach to collaborating with others on your team and across departments.
• Navigating and resolving conflict in the workplace.
• How to gain visibility in the workplace and confidently communicate your contributions.
• How to take ownership of your career to negotiate a higher salary or earn your next promotion.
• How to start and maintain a well-balanced career as a freelancer.
• Establishing a personal brand that reflects your skills, experience, and leadership style.

Each session is an hour long and we’ll meet weekly or biweekly depending on your availability. A major benefit of meeting for four sessions is more time to identify your roadblocks and take action to address these opportunities. Plus, more face time with me is an opportunity to get feedback on the changes you’re making so we can continue to finetune your approach.

 Upon completing the sessions, you’ll have a career road map to follow, a firm understanding of your strengths and gaps to address, the ability to communicate about your career internally and externally, and improved clarity on how to advance. 

As a coach, I help nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, and high potential employees transform their careers to better reflect their goals and find more fulfillment from their work. Whether exploring the next stage of your current career, pivoting to another industry, looking for a better work-life balance, or taking the leap into freelance, I can coach you through this transition.

I’ll work with you one-on-one to develop a custom strategy for navigating this significant career shift, empower you to take action based on your own decision-making, and help you stay accountable to driving tangible results for the long-term.

The goal of each session is incremental progress towards the substantial changes you’d like to make in your career, while saving you time and reducing the learning curve in the process.
