Career
A career change is about redirecting your considerable expertise, wisdom, and energy toward work that feels more aligned, energizing, and true to who you are now. After decades in executive roles at organizations like Mass General Brigham, MIT Sloan, Fidelity, Harvard Business Publishing, L.L. Bean, and H.J. Heinz, I know firsthand how powerful—and sometimes intimidating—the decision to pivot can feel. Whether you're drawn to a new industry, a different role, part-time meaningful work, or even blending legacy skills with fresh passions, this transition deserves thoughtful, specialized support.
Similarly, if you've already made the jump and are now going through the challenge of embracing your new direction, the task has only just begun. You need to adjust to your new surroundings and develop plans to successfully make your contribution.
At the Center for Life Transition, I guide you through every layer of a career change with empathy, strategic clarity, and proven tools to help you move forward with confidence and genuine fulfillment. I'll help you identify roles that reignite their passion, create flexible work that supports their lifestyle, or find satisfaction in contributions that feel deeply meaningful.
If you're ready to take the next step in a career change that honors your past while opening an exciting, authentic future, I'm here to partner with you every step of the way. Let's begin with a complimentary consultation and map out the path that's right for you now.
