What Makes This Program Different?
NOT FOCUSED ON ASSESSMENTS
Assessments don't get to the heart of why you do what you do. This program uses your childhood as the doorway to understand what makes you feel alive and truly MOTIVATES you in your career.
A TARGETED JOB SEARCH
You'll get crystal clear on whether you want to change your job, career, employer, industry, or start a business. You'll learn strategies to build your network, tap the hidden job market, and design a roadmap of your next steps.
A THERAPEUTIC APPROACH+ ACCOUNTABLITY COACHING
We pride ourselves on integrating psychology and career development in our approach — a unique combination of reflection, strategy, and cheerleading to help you make meaningful changes.
HONORS YOUR REALITY
This coaching program will not promise you your dream job because it might not be realistic in the job market. This program will promise to help you find something much better that honors your needs and circumstances.

Danielle's approach to helping me figure out my best path as I transitioned careers was right-on. Danielle is a great and wise listener. Additionally, my networking skills went through the roof as a result of my time working with Danielle.

Reconnect with your Inner Self and Identify Your True Calling
For a while now, I've been looking for a fulfilling career, rather than just a job. I have also been sidetracked by seeing what my friends and colleagues have moved on to do and that narrowed my vision on what I thought I should be doing. Working with Danielle, however, helped me understand my narrative - what the circumstances were that drove me to find satisfaction in my previous careers. With a better understanding of myself and what intrinsically drives me, I've been able to identify a career that I believe I will find fulfilling.

A better understanding of myself and what drives me
"I LOVED the process of working Danielle. I went into the process looking for some clarity on where I wanted to take my career. I knew I wanted to do something different, but didn't know WHAT. I really enjoyed that Danielle had a really specific approach to our exercises, and a concrete process to get to a conclusion. I love where ended up. and I'm SO excited to move forward and chase my (much clearer) now career path!"

Work With a Licensed Coach
*Please be aware that licensed coaches operate as distinct entities separate from Inner Compass Coach, LLC.
At the heart of my work is a simple but deeply personal motivation: helping people find their voice—and a place in the workplace where that voice is valued. I came to career coaching naturally. As a child, I often felt I had no voice of my own, growing up in a community that valued conformity. Early in my career, I found expression—and felt the most free—through improv. I transitioned into acting full time and later moved into roles where I was often speaking up for others across human resources, banking, sales, marketing, and finance. Those experiences taught me how to tread lightly while still having a voice, and how to help others do the same: finding ways to belong at work without losing themselves.
I began my private coaching practice in 2011 after realizing how naturally I was drawn to helping people make sense of their career questions and transitions. I met Danielle in 2023, completed the Inner Compass Process in 2024, and trained in the methodology throughout 2025. That work helped me articulate what I had long sensed—that clarity, confidence, and fulfillment emerge when people understand what motivates them at a deeper level, not just what they’re “good at” on paper.
My coaching style is thoughtful and reflective. I listen closely to what is said—and what isn’t—and help clients identify patterns, strengths, and long-held assumptions that may no longer serve them. Using the Inner Compass Process, I support clients in moving toward work that aligns with who they are, rather than who they’ve been told they should be.
If you’re navigating a career transition, questioning your place at work, or longing to feel more fully expressed in what you do, I invite you to reach out so we can explore whether working together feels like the right fit. Your voice matters—and it deserves a place where it can be heard.
-
I help people make sense of career transitions at a deeper level. With training in career transition and narrative coaching, and through the Inner Compass Process, I help clients understand what’s been shaping their work lives and decisions—so they can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-trust.
-
I bridge inner clarity with practical career action. I support clients not only in understanding what motivates them, but in communicating that clearly through interviews, compensation conversations, resumes, and online profiles—so insight turns into job offers.
-
I coach with thoughtfulness, care, and presence. As a master-level, certified coach experienced in individual and group work, I listen carefully to what’s said and what’s left unsaid, helping clients recognize patterns, challenge assumptions, and step into work where their voice is genuinely heard.

- Who do you typically work with? I specialize in working with introspective, action-oriented mid-career to executive-level professionals who feel stalled in their careers. They experience dissatisfaction despite being comfortable with their current income and are eager to pivot or make a change but lack clarity on their next steps. My clients are open to diverse activities, including play, introspection on past experiences, and proactive networking, all aimed at gaining the clarity and direction they seek.
- What does the coaching process entail? My coaching typically involves bi-monthly meetings over a three-month period. Upon registering for coaching, you gain access to comprehensive course materials. While I provide recommendations on the pace of completing the content based on your goals, you have the flexibility to navigate the program at your own speed.
- If I aim to identify my career direction within three months, how much time per week is needed for coaching? To identify a new career direction within three months, you'll need to dedicate 3 hours per week during the first month. The time commitment tends to increase in months two and three as you progress with your job search or business startup. However, this program is flexible and can be adjusted to match your preferred pace, whether faster or slower, to accommodate your schedule.
- I'm undecided between changing my career or starting a business. Can you assist with both? Absolutely! Our coaching can encompass a dual focus to address both career change and business startup aspirations.
- What are your coaching fees? I have a materials fee of $125 and I charge $235 per 60-minute session. The average client works with me for about six 60-minute sessions.
- Do you provide refunds? No, refunds are not offered. However, you have the flexibility to discontinue services at any point.
- Do you offer a sliding scale for fees? No, I strongly believe in empowering clients to realize their true worth and assist them in confidently negotiating salaries. My work revolves around not only helping clients discover more fulfilling career paths but also providing support during salary negotiations. As a result of our collaboration, many have effectively negotiated higher salaries or better benefits, often surpassing the cost of my services.
- Can you point me in the direction of lower-cost services? You can explore my book for an accessible resource. Additionally, I've provided details of referral partners on this page. Feel free to contact them directly to discuss their fees. For those in need of even more budget-friendly or pro-bono coaching, I suggest reaching out to your local workforce development center. Alternatively, consider connecting with your alumni career services, often available through your college or university.
