Career Transition Case Study: From Executive Assistant to Chief of Staff

“I dug myself out of business debt, secured a bridge job earning a great salary, later landing my dream job as Chief of Staff for a beverage start up company making my first 6-figure salary!” – Becky M, graduate of Purpose Driven Career program

Entering into the coaching program, I thought I would emerge with a clear picture of “yes, I am pursuing X job now at X salary” and I was worried things were going to be to vague and I wouldn’t see actionable results. 

That was not the case. I got organized. Kori helped me prioritize what matters and once I began working with her, things started falling into place because of the steps we were building on in my sessions.

I solved a lot of problems around closing my business, dug myself out of business debt, secured a bridge job earning a great salary, later landing my dream job as Chief of Staff for a beverage start up company making my first 6-figure salary! 

I see now after the process that I got a bigger picture result out of it. I gained clarity about my strengths and wants as a professional and was able to clearly see patterns emerge around both what I’m good at, and also around what I enjoy doing. This has helped tremendously in job searching but also in my current role. 

Before I felt like I was trying to adapt myself to job descriptions instead of knowing confidently what it was I really wanted in my next role. I now have a working blueprint of my skills and goals, which continues to help me make decisions. 

My mind shifted and I was able to focus on the steps knowing there was a genuinely positive person encouraging me and holding me accountable. The little steps each week made all the difference in getting me through the transition with more confidence, support and better tools at my disposal. 

Even one year after the program, I still use my blueprint which helps me quickly evaluate professional opportunities that come up and I feel so much more confident because I know what I have to offer and what I’m looking for which bolsters my communication when speaking to potential employers, recruiters and even my current boss.

The Career Clarity Method is approachable and a great way to evaluate where you are and where you want to go. Everyone can benefit from that at all stages and I can’t think of a better person to guide someone through the process. 

Kori is approachable, patient and positive. I’ve had other coaches that spend sessions lecturing or giving their advice, where I’ve left feeling unheard. Kori patiently listened to where I’m at with things, asked great questions, and at the end I felt like I had more insight about myself and my professional journey.

Your sessions with Kori will always be fruitful, but doing the work outside of your sessions leads to the most beneficial work in your sessions. If you’re looking for bells and whistles with a quick fix, then that’s a dime a dozen coach in NYC. But if you want someone who will listen, guide your process for real self-awareness with a plan for real change and reflection, then I can’t recommend Kori enough!
