Career Courage Coaching
Get clear on your next career move, confident in putting yourself out there, and make the leap to your meaningful and prosperous career
Hi there!
I know you do not want to stay in your current job situation for much longer.
It seemed promising at first, but it just does not inspire you in the way that you thought it might.
Sure, the job is stable and pays fairly well, but work has just been draining and unmotivating, which for a highly ambitious young professional like you, is not how you thought your career would start out.
Now you are stuck because you don’t want to stay in your current role, but you also don’t quite know what your next step is.
With that big question mark, somewhere in the back of your head, you’re thinking, “What if this is the best that it gets?”
You want to create a career that is truly meaningful & fulfilling!
You want a career where you feel proud of your professional accomplishments while also having opportunities to grow and develop skills that make you feel empowered & awesome.
You want a job that actually makes you excited for Monday to come around.
You want a role where you are happy to put in the extra hours (but only if absolutely necessary, of course!).
But whatever you have already done has not given you the answers you’re looking for
You have taken countless “What is your dream career?” quizzes online
You went on retreats to develop your professional skills and “find yourself”
You took a couple of mental health days off of work to get your life figured out, but you ultimately used that time to detox and disconnect from anything career-related.
You’ve asked your family for advice, even though their advice has been either to stay the course and it might get better or to just start your job search (which would be easier if you knew what you were searching for!).
As for your friends, while they have your best interest at heart, their go-to is to relate to what you are going through by talking about themselves, which while it is nice to not feel alone, doesn’t exactly get you moving forward.
I get it…
On paper, you are already embodying society’s definition of “success.”
Straying away from that can bring judgment from those closest to you.
You also don't quite know what your next step looks like.
So even though you know that you want to leave your current role, you don’t feel good about making the leap because your destination is not clear.
But, you don’t have the time or energy to focus on what you actually want in your career because you work full-time, and the last thing you want to think about outside of work IS WORK!
And here’s the thing: You probably would have stuck it out if it weren’t for the pandemic. For over a year, instead of having office happy hours & that long commute, you were at home, and you finally had the time to look real hard at your current situation & see so clearly that something had to change.
Listen, I am all for taking some time away from work, asking your support system for advice, and taking all those quizzes (that is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine!).
But the problem with these solutions is that none of those are going to give you the clarity or courage to actually identify & go for that career you love.
Why?
Because only YOU know what your next move will be and only YOU can actually make that move.
What you need is someone who can help you put all your past experiences, skills, and career goals into a compelling and empowering career story.
Once you have a story to tell, then it becomes much easier to:
Confidently identify your next career step,
Get underneath the surface to tackle all the fears and doubts you have about making that change,
And develop & follow an action plan to put yourself out there and finally move forward in a way that is fun and exciting.
That’s why I created Career Courage Coaching.
Hi, I’m Leya, and I help people who don’t feel inspired by work identify & make the leap to their meaningful & prosperous careers.
During the pandemic, when I felt lost in my career, I so wished I had someone who could help me figure out what meaningful work meant to me & how I could do that.
Now, I am a certified coach and trained corporate storyteller, both of which light me up!
I also made my own career changes from management consulting, to internal communications at a start up, to growth marketing at an even smaller start-up, to running a successful freelance marketing business.
It is so liberating to have a compelling story that can inspire those in your network to help you move forward.
“I was feeling frustrated about not knowing in which direction I want to take my career and finding a job. While working with Leya, I defined what types of jobs I was interested in using the best words, I gained the confidence to negotiate my salary, and I learned how to write a really good cover letter. The collaborative process Leya used resulted in a really amazing coaching experience! Overall, working with Leya was great and so beneficial!”
— Romi E.
"Leya is a compassionate, thoughtful, and clearsighted guide who listens carefully, asks insightful questions, and encourages you to confront what holds you back. I was stuck on thinking through a career pivot and weighing family obligations. While working with Leya, I confronted my fears by speaking them aloud and I gathered the courage to leave my previous project to pursue a new one. I especially appreciated our thought partnership and the way that we helped shape each session together. If you ever need help to get unstuck, then she's the one to call."

Here’s What the Program Covers
Setting the Foundations
In the first module, we set the foundation for what would be an awesome career for you. If these foundations are met in your career, you will have a baseline level of fulfillment already.
Career in Review
In the second module, we do a comprehensive review of all your past experiences, no matter how insignificant the experience may seem. Insights from this review + your foundations together will become your compass by which you can start exploring career options.
The Career Dream
This module is all about thinking through what could be. Together, we will explore what might be awesome work, especially as it relates to your day to day tasks, the environment you work in (you know, your team and company culture), and the larger purpose of your work.
Tackle the Blocks
At this point, some fears may begin to appear for you. This is natural, especially as the end goal becomes more and more clear. In this module, we will address anything that is stopping you from taking the leap.
Your Compelling Career Story
We will put together all the puzzle pieces into a neat career story for you to share with all the people in your life (including coworkers, recruiters & employers, your broader network, and friends & family).
Make the Leap!
Now all the pieces are in place. With your career story ready to go and the fears addressed, you are ready to start making moves towards your meaningful & prosperous career! This module is all about closing the loop so you can go forth confidently & empowered.

“I would definitely recommend working with Leya. She guides you into figuring out how to improve and also helps imbue confidence rather than taking it away. I got more responses from companies to reach the stage after initial application and I felt more personally confident in my job applications. I come away from meetings with Leya feeling positive about my next steps forward rather than feeling negative about steps I had taken prior.”
— Arun Gummer
“It was really fun working with Leya! Before working with Leya, I was struggling with being bold, and advocating for showing up as myself in multiple aspects of my life. While working with Leya, I really saw myself make great progress in terms of being bold in the workplace. And I created daily self care check-ins that have really helped me stay connected with my true self and remind me of my confidence and capability when I feel self doubt. I also really found it effective when we talked through clear actions and drew out timelines/roadmaps in our session. She is very organized, knowledgeable and overall a great coach!”
