Clarity over linearity.

Career Clarity & Strategy

You did everything right and you’re still stuck.

Career strategy for diaspora professionals in finance, consulting, tech, banking and public service. The problem usually isn’t your qualifications. It’s that nobody can tell what you’re capable of from the way it’s all written down.

“Most career advice tells you to try harder. I tell you what is actually misaligned, what is holding you back, and exactly what to do about it. This week.”

Who I Work With

For people who are done being overlooked.

Diaspora professionals in finance, consulting, tech, banking, and public service
People who feel undervalued, overlooked, or tired of code-switching to be heard
People ready to make a real move, who want a strategist in their corner
Anyone who knows they’re capable of more and is ready to move with strategy

How It Works:   1. Book your slot  →  2. Complete your career audit  →  3. Show up ready.

Three Ways In

Three different problems, three different ways I work.

The Clarity Session

One hour, one to one with me

For a decision you keep going back and forth on.

You come with what’s on your mind.

An offer on the table. A promotion that hasn’t happened and nobody will tell you why. A pivot you’ve been thinking about for a year. A conversation with your manager you don’t know how to start. Or you’re not sure where this career is even meant to go next, and you want help working out the direction before you spend another year guessing.

What You Get

  • A 60-minute call, and I tell you what I actually think.
  • A written action plan within 72 hours. Your next 3 to 5 moves, in the order to do them, starting with the one to do this week.
  • The recording, yours to keep.
  • One follow-up email within 7 days, once you’ve started acting on it.

Don’t book this if what you actually want is your material rewritten. That’s the Positioning Plan, and you’d be paying for this hour twice.

The Positioning Plan

One hour with me, then 7 working days of my writing

For when you’re applying and hearing nothing back.

I ask the questions, then I rewrite everything.

Start Your Plan
Read More

Recruiters keep bringing you roles a level below where you already were. You’re explaining your own background over and over because your resume isn’t doing it for you. Years of good work, and it reads flat on the page.

We Start With An Hour

  • A 60-minute working session where I ask the questions. What you actually did, not what the job title says. Why you left. What you were quietly responsible for that nobody ever wrote down. And what you’re not telling me because you assume it doesn’t count.
  • The things people underplay are almost always the things worth leading with. The team you ran that was never in your title. The system you rebuilt that everyone still uses. The client nobody else could handle. None of that comes out of a questionnaire, which is why we talk first.

Then I Write

  • A positioning statement, and what’s currently getting in its way. One sentence you can say out loud when someone asks what you do. Then the specific things your material is making people misread: the title that meant something different where you earned it, the employer nobody here recognises, the gap you’ve never explained, the sector move that reads as a step back when it wasn’t.
  • Your target roles, named. The actual job titles your experience already supports in this market, which one to go after first and why, and the one or two things you’d need to be credible for the level above that. You can put these titles straight into a search the same day.
  • Your resume rewritten in full. Every role rewritten around what you owned, what it was worth, and what changed because you were the one doing it. Not comments in the margin for you to action yourself, and not a light tidy-up.
  • Your LinkedIn rewritten to match. Headline, About section, the wording on every role, and your skills reordered so the right things surface when recruiters search. Same story as the resume, told the way LinkedIn actually gets read.
  • One round of revisions across all of it. You read everything, you tell me what doesn’t sound like you, and I change it. Your name goes on this, so it has to sound like you said it.

Everything back within 7 working days. Don’t buy this if you write well about yourself and just need pointing in the right direction. You’d get that from a Clarity Session for a good deal less.

The Six-Week Partnership

3 sessions across 6 weeks

For a move that’s live and runs over weeks.

I stay with you through it.

Book a Scoping Call
Read More

There’s a negotiation coming. There’s politics inside your own organization to handle. There are interviews you get one shot at. And somewhere in the middle there’ll be a week where you want to drop the whole thing.

What You Get

  • Everything in the Positioning Plan: the document, your resume and LinkedIn rewritten, and a revision round.
  • 3 sessions across 6 weeks while the move is actually happening. Week 1 is what you’re going after. Week 3 is the approach, once your materials are done. Week 6 is the ask.
  • A salary and market brief, so you know your number before you’re asked for it.
  • A 90-day plan at the end.
  • Recordings of all 3 sessions.

I take 2 of these at a time. Don’t buy this if what you need is documents. That’s the Positioning Plan, for less than half.

What I Won’t PromiseThe one thing I refuse to sell you, and what I guarantee instead.

I won’t promise you the job, or the promotion. Anybody telling you they can promise that isn’t being straight with you. I’m not in the room where those decisions get made, and most of the time your own manager isn’t either.

What I will do is tell you what’s actually going on, which is usually not what you think it is. I’ll give you the language and the plan to be understood properly. And when the decision does get made, I’ll make sure the case in front of them is a good one and that it still sounds like you.

If you finish anything you’ve paid me for and you haven’t got a plan you can act on, tell me and I’ll refund you.

Not sure which one is yours?

Email me and tell me what’s going on. I’ll tell you which one fits, and if the answer is none of them then I’ll tell you that too.
