Just-in-time
mentoring.

Between sessions, he’s still there. Weekly sessions build your plan and your materials. The rest of the week is where the search actually happens, so that is where David stays reachable.

Text him before you hit send.

The email to the recruiter, the LinkedIn message, the reply to the offer. David reads it first.

Email him the offer you’re not sure about.

He reads it the way the other side wrote it, and tells you what to say back.

A quick call when something comes up.

Fifteen minutes to answer a couple of questions. Every session ends the same way: “Text me if you have any questions.”

I highly recommend David for career coaching. He helped me clarify my direction, identify transferable strengths, and prepare for interviews with practical, confidence-building guidance. He uses empathy, motivation, and structure to make the process both manageable and enjoyable. I'm now thriving in a new role, using skills I didn't fully recognize before. I'd recommend David to anyone considering a career pivot or wanting a clearer job-search and interview strategy.

“He helped me build a clear, actionable plan and provided an outstanding resume, practical strategies, and the mindset shift I needed to move forward with confidence.”

Working with David transformed my job search. He helped me build a clear, actionable plan and provided an outstanding resume, practical strategies, and the mindset shift I needed to move forward with confidence. Our work together led me to connect with a Branch Manager at JPMorgan Chase, and after completing the interview process, I received an offer to join the firm as an Associate Banker. This marks the end of a long and often discouraging three-year job search. David's guidance was invaluable. He helped me understand what I truly wanted from my career and what steps I needed to take to get there.

The questions
everyone asks first.

01

Am I guaranteed a job or a promotion?

What I guarantee is certainty in yourself, built on things you can hold: a resume and LinkedIn rebuilt point by point until they sound like you, honest feedback on why the applications you’ve already sent aren’t getting responses, interview prep for the actual company and role, and a review of the offer before you sign. Deadlines between sessions so the work gets done.

What I guarantee

  • A job or a promotion
  • Resume and LinkedIn rebuilt point by point
  • Honest feedback on your search so far
  • Interview prep for the real company and role
  • Scripts for who to message and what to say
  • Offer review before you sign
  • Deadlines, and a text away between sessions

02

I tried a coach, and didn’t get a good return on my investment.

I hear that a lot: someone sent you templates and disappeared. This isn’t a one-off session. We meet every week, there are deadlines between sessions, and I’m a text away when something comes up. Along the way we go over the milestones you’ve hit and what you’ve learned about your own worth, so the return is something you can point to.

Templates and gone

  • One session
  • Templates
  • Disappears

Weekly, with deadlines

  • Every week until you land
  • Built point by point with you
  • A text away between sessions

Milestones you can point to, every step of the way.

03

Why use this instead of AI?

Sure, AI will agree with you and hand you generic advice you may need. Working with me gets you three things it can’t: a relationship, authenticity, and accountability. I can read how you’re really doing, I’ll tell you the truth, and I’ve actually led people.

What does it cost?

Every program is $450 a month for four months, and your first month is discounted. Each week is one session of about an hour, and I’m a text away between them. Talk to me for the details. You can pause or stop any month.

05

Does what I tell you stay between us?

Yes. What you tell me stays with me. It never goes to your employer, your network, or anyone else. Be completely open about where you are, what your strengths are, and what’s in the way. That’s the only way I can actually guide you.

Who hears what you tell me

  • David
  • Your employer
  • Your network
  • Anyone else

This is your space.
