The #1 Truth About Work...
We all want our careers to help us live healthy, happy, fulfilled lives.
Whether Happiness Means:
...we want work to help us live happier lives.
But it often does the opposite. Why?
Our parents and educators often project their values on us and encourage us to play it safe.
Our parents and teachers don’t always know how to help us figure out what we want out of our careers. In the interests of protecting us, they often just give us answers instead of encouraging us to ask questions.
They push us toward options they think are safe, high-status, lucrative, or obvious instead of the option that is most likely to make us happy. So we often develop a fear of the unfamiliar and a reflex for following the safe, obvious path.
Coaching helps you reconnect with your values and see them as worth fighting for.
American work culture demands compliance and self-sacrifice for the sake of the company.
We are inundated with cultural messages that pressure us to put work above everything else. We end up working as hard as we can and thinking we should be grateful for the opportunity. It makes us feel guilty for doing totally reasonable things like taking lunch, leaving on-time, or going on vacation.
But worse, it makes us afraid to ask for what we deserve, set boundaries, and stand up to mistreatment. It poisons our relationship with money, work, and our identities as professionals. And it traps us into making career decisions from a place of anxiety, insecurity, and fear.
Our primal fear of rejection and failure keeps us from taking risks to achieve our goals.
With so much pressure to perform and conform, it often feels too risky to take action on our goals. We're plagued by overwhelm, anxiety, paralysis, or pessimism and those difficult emotions drive us to extremes.
We do nothing, do everything, or get caught up looking for the "perfect" answer.
But all of these hold us back from betting on ourselves and taking the decisive, strategic actions that will move us forward. Coaching clears the mental clutter so you focus on taking bold, courageous action.
What does this mean for you?
You deserve a life you're proud and excited to live,
but building a career that gets you there often feels... so hard.
Prioritize your internal values over others' external values
Everyone has an opinion, but you are the only one who has to live with your choices. Start prioritizing you.
Learn to take action despite work-related anxiety
Anxiety is a normal human experience, but it doesn't have to in the driver's seat of your work life.
Develop a long-term mindset and a bias toward action
Get ahead by consistently investing in yourself to build momentum toward your professional goals.
"I just wanted to quickly update you on my interview and search to say that I was offered the housing org job this week and officially accepted. Thanks to your guidance I brought a different sensibility to the interview. And I must have done something different, because they offered me a higher level position than the one I initially applied for."

"Phoebe, you are simply the best. You empowered me to take charge over my work, validated my ideas, and emphasized the importance of rest. I benefited from your outspoken, pointed communication. It made me feel challenged sometimes, but I always knew you had my back. Working with you has been a wonderful, fulfilling experience that made it easier to focus and forge on, despite the chaos in the background at work. You made me a better worker and person."

"Negotiating compensation has always terrified me so much that I've never tried. Before working with you, I would simply take the first offer and end up feeling like I might have left money on the table. Because I have!
So, after working with you and getting more comfortable with the idea of negotiation I used your tips along with what I learned from your interview course and applied during my job search. The interview sandwich answer from your workshop TOTALLY WORKED! I was moved to the next level in the interviewing process. Within a short time span, I got an offer that increased my salary by 34%!
By giving better and more impactful answers during the interview process, I could see the hiring managers were close to yes. So when it was time to talk compensation, I felt empowered and didn't worry about asking for more once I received an offer. And guess what? The company matched my counteroffer! Thank you, Phoebe!"

"When I first came to Phoebe, I was looking for career clarity with a deep desire for better work-life balance.
Even though I've been in my field for a number of years, I had low professional confidence and a hard time seeing next steps. Through our work, I was able to vastly progress my understanding of the kinds of roles and jobs I'd like to pursue next AND I was able to move away from the job I was in that was no longer in alignment and land a new role as a critical stepping stone.
Phoebe has a wealth of tactical and strategic knowledge, and I came out of every conversation with new insights that helped inform my approach to everything I was facing, from difficult conversations in the workplace to interview prep.
Working with Phoebe was an amazing investment in myself, and worth every penny. I cannot recommend Phoebe highly enough, particularly if you've been unhappy with work and have an inkling that you need to create big changes for yourself."

Thinking back to where I was in my job searching journey several months ago, I feel like a completely different person. I now have a level of confidence and a set of strategies to use in future negotiations that I never had — and honestly, that no one really ever taught me. I really credit your knowledge and experience, as well as our work together, to getting me to this point. I can't thank you enough."

Build strong professional relationships:
"I can confidently say that I am a better worker because of Phoebe. During our coaching sessions, I learned how to better navigate difficult work conversations, effectively give upward feedback, and communicate more clearly to avoid friction later on.
As a woman in the workplace, my coaching sessions with Phoebe also helped me to feel more empowered to ask for more transparency, challenge assumptions, and to know my worth.
There were a number of times Phoebe made me realize that some phrases I was using were displaying my insecurities and she taught me to not only think differently, but communicate in a way that helped me better get across what I wanted.
Because of Phoebe I feel like I have a good foundation to become a great first-time manager in the future, and hope to share some of the lessons I learned from her with others."

"Phoebe's workshops and coaching helped me get unstuck during a particularly tough job search and helped me re-evaluate my long-term goals and approach to work.
Her resume and LinkedIn review sessions were crucial and gave me a framework to improve my resume and LinkedIn profile that I'll continue to use for years after.
More importantly, Phoebe took a whole-person and empathetic approach to my job search and long-term career development. I continue to use many of the lessons and tips I picked up from Phoebe in my own work but also when I mentor and advise younger colleagues and peers."
