Blossom - FAQ
Seeking Clarity for Your Next Chapter?
Taking control of a major career transition or redefining your purpose requires support and structure. It’s natural to have questions about the coaching process, confidentiality, and how this investment translates into real-world change in an AI-driven landscape. I've compiled answers to the most common questions from professionals looking to find their clarity and confidently step into what's next.
Clarity & Credibility: Program Philosophy
Q: What is the 'Blossom' program, and how is it different from general career coaching?
A: 'Blossom' is a 1:1 strategic career coaching and mentoring program specifically designed for high-achieving women navigating significant career transitions (returning from a break, changing industries, or relocating). Unlike general coaching, I prioritize a Behavioral Deep Dive ("The Why") to ensure your next move is deeply value-aligned and sustainable. As a PhD in Organizational Behavior and a 12-year C-Suite veteran, I build a tactical, market-tested strategy for long-term success and satisfaction.
Q: Why do you focus on "The Why" and "Value Alignment" before resume work?
A: I believe short-term fixes lack long-term satisfaction. Our initial deep dive ensures that the goals we target are the absolute best fit for your values, skills, and current life stage. This is the foundation of a successful transition. We work on:
The WHY: Behavioral deep dive and value alignment.
The HOW: Strategy, career path, and sector identification.
The WHAT: Tactical execution (pitch, resume, LinkedIn, networking).
Q: I'm concerned about the job market in the AI era. How do you address that?
A: I am an AI-aware coach and strategist. I advise you not just on how to find a job, but on what employers are actively seeking in the evolving market. I guide you on upskilling with the right tools for your target roles and help you position your human, strategic skills as essential assets that work with AI, not against it.
Q: I have a long gap on my resume. Can you actually help me get back to a senior-level role?
A: Yes. I specialize in turning "gaps" into a powerful narrative of strategic, intentional growth and valuable life experience. I work with you to reframe the highly complex, transferable skills you acquired during your time away (e.g., logistics, crisis management, leadership) into corporate-ready language. Your experience is an asset; I show you how to market it as such.
The Coaching Process: Structure and Deliverables
Q: What is the format and investment for the 'Blossom' program?
A: I offer two main formats:
Single Strategy Session: A one-off session for targeted advice on an urgent issue for $275.
Ongoing Engagement (Most Popular): A strategic partnership of 6 sessions over 10 weeks for $1,200, allowing you to set your own pace and achieve a complete career transformation. I offer unlimited offline support during this engagement.
Q: How is the coaching structured, and what is the time commitment?
A: 'Blossom' is delivered through flexible 1:1 coaching sessions. The most effective format is a 6- or 8-session engagement over a 10- to 12-week window. Expect to dedicate approximately 3-5 hours per week outside of our sessions for homework, networking, and brand revisions.
Q: What tangible resources and network support do I receive?
A: My commitment to you goes beyond the 1:1 sessions:
The Transition Toolkit: A complete overhaul and optimization of your professional brand, including your resume, LinkedIn profile, professional pitch, and social media presence.
Exclusive Network Access: You gain access to my personal network for strategic introductions, and a private online community for peer support and accountability.
Workshops: Access to my targeted workshops to refine skills like negotiation, interviewing, or utilizing AI in your job search.
Q: How will this program help me with my network, especially if I'm new to a country or industry?
A: I use a strategic approach. I will:
Help you identify the key leaders and sectors you need to connect with.
Craft personalized outreach messages and teach you how to conduct informational interviews that convert to opportunities.
Give you access to my professional 'Gather' workshops and network to help you build local, strategic connections fast.
Q: Does the program include support for mock interviews, even if you are not an expert in my specific field?
A: Yes. While I personally provide the strategic and behavioral coaching, I can connect you with the right people in my network to practice technical or industry-specific mock interviews, ensuring you are fully prepared for the final stages of your job search.
Investment & Accountability: Trust and Next Steps
Q: What tangible results can I expect to achieve with the 'Blossom' program?
A: At the beginning of our engagement, we collaboratively set clear milestones and metrics based on what is most important to you—whether that is landing a job within a specific timeline, achieving a target salary increase, or successfully pivoting to a new industry.
Q: Where can I read testimonials and success stories from previous clients?
A: You can view client testimonials, success stories, and results directly on my dedicated page here.
Q: Does the coaching include support between sessions, and what about after the program ends?
A: Yes, ongoing support is included. During your 6- or 8-session program, I provide offline support via email or text between our scheduled meetings. After the main engagement concludes, you can extend the package for up to 30 days for a check-in session and continued offline support for a nominal add-on fee.
Q: Will you sign an NDA? How do you ensure confidentiality of my job search and personal information?
A: Every interaction is strictly confidential. I am highly comfortable and experienced in working with formal NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) to ensure complete privacy regarding your career plans, previous salary details, and corporate negotiations.
Q: Do you offer any guarantees?
A: I guarantee my proven process, expertise, and dedication to your success. While I can't guarantee a specific job offer, I am dedicated to helping you achieve clarity, confidence, and a fully market-optimized professional brand.
Q: How do I know if we're a good fit?
A: The best way to begin is by booking a complimentary Intro Call. This is a pressure-free 30-minute conversation where we discuss your unique challenge and ensure my strategic background and your goals align perfectly before you make any commitment.
