What I liked about getting Covid
So Covid sucks, obviously. I had been lucky to avoid it for as long as I did but this last uptick got me. And while it is definitely not how I wanted to spend the last ten or so days I'm a learn-from-your-experience kind of gal. So here are a few of the things...
I want a promotion!
I started working with one of my clients who was a Sr. Director. They were running the show and really felt like what they were doing warranted a VP title and the salary that goes with it. Part of the problem was that the group had gone through a serious restructuring...

Let's just say I've spent more than a few years working on projects. And let's just say that working at agencies and in tech is not without its issues. So while my perfectionist tendencies always want to underpromise and over deliver my reality wasn't always so....
New job, now what?
One of my clients just got a new job, yay! And so we spent our last session talking about some of the upcoming things to think about. You want to set yourself up for success and also be cognizant of any first and second impressions. Beyond thinking about your...
How to get ahead (whatever that means)
A lot of clients come to me and they're focused on that next promotion. And we work through ways to get it. But it turns out the ways that we focus are good for almost anything they want. If they want to pivot. If they want better work/life balance. Or just...
