If your everyday life is feeling a little too ordinary, I’m here to help you take back control and get excited about the many possibilities just waiting for you to leverage them.
 
Using the lessons I’ve learned from more than a decade of professional experience in marketing, psychology and executive leadership, I’ll help you avoid the most common mistakes that so many young professionals make. Together, we’ll develop your personal brand and create a compelling story that will impress business leaders and get you promoted – fast. I’ve sat on the other side of the hiring table, so I’ll give you the inside scoop on what bosses are looking for when hiring and promoting.
 
My coaching has helped clients climb out of career ruts to get noticed and promoted faster than they ever thought possible, make career pivots to land rewarding new jobs that inspire them to leap out of bed in the morning, and negotiate 3x their salaries.
 
If you’re feeling a million miles away from anything like that – I hear you. You are in the right place!
 
My journey started as an anxious 20-something year old with a perfect college transcript and no idea what to do with my life. I worked as a guidance counselor for at-risk youth. I backpacked around the world for a year, hoping to have an Eat, Pray, Love-style epiphany on top of a mountain that would magically deliver instant clarity on my life’s purpose and a roadmap for my next steps.
 
It didn’t happen. I came home with a lifetime of memories and stunning photos, but no epiphanies.
 
Eventually, I found my way, by getting crystal clear clarity on that little diamond at the intersection of what I was good at, what skills workplaces would pay top dollar for and what I liked enough to do all day, every day, for many years.

Today, I’m a nonprofit executive, working on the best cause there is – helping others achieve their dreams. I regularly share my business expertise with major media outlets (most recently Forbes and CNBC) and Congress. I wake up every day feeling alive with growth and possibilities.
 
It’s time for you to find your purpose, too. If the past couple of years have shown us anything, it’s that tomorrow is not guaranteed, and the world needs your unique talents right now. Don’t wait one more day to level up.
 
When your career is in alignment with your purpose, you’ll feel completely confident that you’re heading in the right direction. Opportunities will fall into place naturally – because you’ll be ready for them. You’ll crank out your work like Hamilton writing his way out, (work will flow with ease?) because you’ll be channeling your unique passion and talents to make a real impact in the world. You’ll feel appreciated by your boss, colleagues and clients. And you’ll be paid well, so you feel safe knowing you can take good care of yourself and your family.
 
If you’re ready to clarify your vision, uncover hidden gems of opportunity and pivot to the next right thing, I’m here to help you, every step of the way. You don’t have to do this alone.

Jennifer, MBAAdvisory Consultant & Small Business CEO, Washington D.C.

Chase has been instrumental to my success in pivoting from journalism to Big Four consulting. It was my dream to work at an elite consulting firm - and here I am! Chase believed in me, and together, we designed a plan to make it happen. He taught me keys to success that I didn't learn elsewhere!

Chase challenged me to think beyond just “the job search” and focus more on finding roles that capitalized on my passions and strengths, and fulfilled my values. He worked with me through the entire job funnel - targeted search and networking, line-by-line resume and cover letter editing, interview prep and salary/benefits negotiation. Throughout the process, Chase's uplifting, encouraging, and fun personality kept me motivated. I know that Chase always has my back, and I continue to work with him to strategically grow in my current consulting role.

NamithaSenior Advisory Consultant, Washington D.C.

Chase helped me wade through my many thoughts on my career goals to find a clear purpose and direction that was hard to pinpoint on my own. I worked closely with him for a year and was inspired by his empathy and genuine desire to help those around him. He empowers you to question your assumptions and uncover your passions so that you can take meaningful steps in your career. He is part strategist, part thought-provoker, and part enthusiastic coach - his positive energy is absolutely contagious, and makes you want to start moving on your long-held ideas.

Because Chase was invested in my growth, he recognized when I was ready for a leadership growth opportunity in Big Four consulting - before I even realized it! I now lead a high-performing team that consistently outperforms teams twice our size. We are a ‘gold star’ team that other projects consult for guidance. Chase's "future-oriented" mindset has also encouraged me to look into ways to continuously improve myself as a leader and enhance my technical skills through certifications, so that I am constantly growing in my career.

JasmineCyber Risk Consultant, Washington D.C.

I've learned so much from Chase: How to analyze client motivations, navigate leadership challenges, execute influence without authority, and build a high-performing team. Chase’s coaching and mentorship supported me during a pivotal point in my Big Four consulting career. I was in a junior role and looking to lead more client-facing interactions. Chase helped me identify attainable career milestones, which increased my confidence to lead. I started running lower-level client meetings, and progressed to lead meetings with executive clients. A year later, I now manage my own team of five high-performing workers and regularly interact with C-level executives. With Chase’s guidance, I’ve learned key communication skills to synthesize my ideas and present them to drive solutions.
