PREVIEW:

Build Your Core Career Model

Not sure how to talk about what you actually do? 
Whether you're on the job hunt, exploring consulting, or trying to describe your value more clearly... this preview helps you get to the root of your professional story. You’ll learn how to connect the dots between your strengths, patterns, and potential, so you can speak confidently about your work (without rambling). 

PREVIEW:

Narrow In Your Job Search

Feeling stuck in your job search? You’re not alone. 
You'll learn why applying to everything isn't working, and how to get focused, fast. You'll hear how narrowing your job search to a few strategic lanes can actually increase your opportunities, not limit them. Kate helps you think differently about what you want, and shares tips about how to go after it. If you’re tired of hearing crickets after hitting “submit,” this is where things start to shift.

PREVIEW:

Your Story, On a Page

Build trust with your reputation, before the interview.
You can use your cover letter (or any written intro!) to elevate your personal brand, without sounding robotic or redundant. Distill your story into something that feels sharp, confident, and clear. Whether you're applying for a dream job or pitching yourself for a new opportunity, this preview will help you get intentional about the how behind your written presence.
