Kori Burkholder:
Your Dedicated Career Transition Coach
“Your career is a journey, not a final destination. Appreciate where you are, gain as much knowledge as possible, and carry it into the next chapter of your life’s adventure.”

Hi! I'm Kori Burkholder
A certified Career and Life Coach with a unique blend of corporate and creative industry experience. I’ve navigated the fast-paced, glamorous world of TV and the structured stability of corporate life—and back again. My non-linear career path has taught me firsthand the challenges of pivoting and the importance of finding your way through the inevitable roadblocks. After over twenty years in the entertainment industry, I’ve successfully transitioned my passion for empowering others’ career dreams into a thriving coaching practice. My experiences make me uniquely qualified to guide you through your career transition.

Who I Am
Beyond coaching, I’m a passionate side hustler, artist, and avid traveler who thrives on creativity and adventure. My experiences—whether on the tennis court or exploring new cultures—fuel my innovative approach to coaching. I believe in the power of mindfulness and creativity to spark inspiration. I’ve developed workshops like Paint Your Wildest Dreams and the Wild Dreaming Creative Deck to help others tap into their dreams and full potential.
How I Empower You
My coaching philosophy centers on the belief that continuous learning, growth, and adaptability are essential for success.
I empower individuals to:
- Break Free from the “I Hate My Job” Cycle: Discover your unique strengths, passions, and values to design a career that excites you.
- Gain Career Clarity: Whether you lack ideas or are overwhelmed by too many, I’ll help you find a purposeful and profitable career path.
- Develop and Capitalize on In-Demand Skills: Craft a magnetic personal brand to attract your ideal opportunities.
- Land Your Dream Job: Master the art of interviewing and confidently negotiate competitive salaries and work arrangements.
- Make a Difference: Explore purpose-driven career paths that allow you to contribute to causes, products, or services you care about.
Wins as a Career Coach

Over the past eight years, my coaching has empowered early to mid-career professionals across diverse industries—from entertainment and finance to law, PR, and beyond—to achieve remarkable results. My clients have landed dream jobs at Fortune 500 companies, secured significant raises and promotions, and transformed side hustles into thriving full-time careers. Together, we’ve turned career aspirations into tangible successes, helping them transform their lives and reach new heights.
