Career Coaching
You’re Smart. Your Career Path Should Be Too.
You’re not “too much.” You’re just not in the right place—yet.
Gifted adults often face a unique kind of career frustration. You think fast, feel deeply, and see possibilities others miss—yet you may feel stuck, bored, or misunderstood at work.
Whether you’re navigating a pivot, burning out in the wrong role, or unsure how to bring your full self to the professional world, traditional career advice doesn’t cut it.
You need a coach who gets it—who understands the complexity, nuance, and pressure that comes with a high-functioning brain.
