CAREER COACHING
When it's time to see your career from a different altitude.
Proactive Career Planning
Some of the best career moves are proactive ones. If you feel the pull toward more growth, clarity, and purpose in your work, this is where we start. We get clear on what success looks like at this stage and build a practical path toward it while the opportunity is yours to shape.
Planned Career Moves
You have made the decision. You are ready to move on and you want to do it right, on your terms, on your timeline, and toward something that genuinely fits who you are and where you want to go. This work helps you get clear on your target, build your strategy, and make the move with confidence.
Unplanned Career Moves
Business is personal. Especially when a layoff, a reorganization, or an unexpected change suddenly reshapes your path. The transition can affect more than your income — it can affect your identity, your confidence, and your sense of direction. This work helps you process what happened, get clear on what you want next, and move forward with a plan that turns an unwanted change into a deliberate one.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
A structured partnership for the road ahead
We work together in private sessions via Zoom, phone, or in person in Hood River. The pace and structure are built around where you are and what you need, whether you are ready to move quickly or want to take the time to reflect, recharge, and redirect before taking action.
Phase 1 — Career Vision We start by getting clear on what you want and why. Through conversation and targeted assessments, we define the roles, environments, and opportunities that align with who you are and the impact you want to make at this stage of your career.
Phase 2 — Action Plan From that clarity we build a targeted strategy, researching opportunities, activating your network, and positioning you effectively. We also work through any mindset or confidence blocks that might slow you down.
Phase 3 — Work the Plan We move from strategy to action, interviewing, negotiating your offer, and setting yourself up for a strong start. For senior leaders this includes executive compensation negotiation and a clear plan for the critical first 90 days.

“Dana has the unique ability to see the “ Bigger Picture.” This, in conjunction with her ability to assess someone’s leadership ability, makes Dana an extremely talented person to know, and I can’t thank her enough for supporting me in my career. ”
