My Story

One of the reasons I chose to do this work is because I’m passionate about supporting women in the workplace.  You deserve to thrive in your career, not just survive. 

I’ve spent years in the human resources field, thriving in top HR roles at companies like Google and Grammarly, supporting Senior leaders, growing teams, and checking all the boxes of success. But something felt off. I saw how many women were struggling—brilliant, capable women, and despite having immense potential, often feel held back, whether by structural challenges or by self-doubt. And I felt called to do more.

But I kept pushing, working long hours and constantly managing new challenges until a personal loss made me pause. I realized my work had started to take a toll on both my health and sense of balance. So I took time off to heal. To reflect. Spent time with my family.  I returned to practicing yoga, taking long walks in nature with my dog, and having honest conversations, which helped me reconnect with what truly mattered. In February, I left the corporate world after 25 years and started my own coaching business. Scary? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.   

With coaching, clarity, and a powerful process, I now support women in navigating change and building careers that truly bring them fulfillment.

Why do I do this work?

I’m passionate about helping women like you break through barriers. After all, I’ve walked that same road and understand the pressures firsthand. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to go through that alone.

I’ve taken the leap to focus on coaching because I want to help you navigate those tough career transitions. Whether you’re feeling burned out, stuck, or unsure about your next move, I’m here to help you gain clarity and create a career that truly aligns with your values and passions.

Along the way, I’ve learned that real transformation happens when we reconnect with what matters most to us. I’ve seen firsthand how taking the time to listen to yourself can unlock new levels of fulfillment and success—and I’m excited to help you get there. 

VITAL Framework

I designed VITAL when I realized I couldn’t keep going at the pace I was working (12-15-hour days), and every day was a new emergency.  As soon as I finished one big project, another one landed a week later.  My days were back-to-back Zoom meetings until about 4 pm, when my real day of work started. I spent my weekends recovering, only to start the cycle again on Monday! Sound familiar?  So I sat down and figured out what worked for me, and now I use it as a high-level framework in my coaching practice.

VITAL helps you understand what truly drives you—and using that, you can shape a career you actually want!.

So how will you get there?

  • Using my 5-step VITAL framework, we uncover what really matters to you—so you can make smart decisions and build a career that feels aligned and meaningful.
  • Through coaching, we’ll explore whether an internal move or a fresh start elsewhere could help you feel more fulfilled, less burnt out, and back in the driver’s seat.
  • I’ve found that 5 simple steps can help you go from stuck to thriving in your career.
  • Those steps are Career Values, Career Identity, Career Trust, Career Abilities, and Career Legacy.  I myself have made the shift from corporate to running my own business, so I’m proof it works!

Working with Claire was a turning point for me during a career transition after getting moving on from my company where I’d been for 8+ years.
