The Authentic Job Search Group Coaching

Searching for a job doesn't have to suck.

Join our job seeker support group for mid-career tech and product professionals and experience The Authentic Job Search.

You’ve established yourself in your career. You’ve climbed the ladder. You drank the Kool-Aid. You’ve done everything “right”.

But perhaps you’ve found yourself in a company whose values (or complete lack thereof) don’t align with yours. Perhaps you’re feeling burnt out. Maybe you’re questioning what it is exactly that you’ve been working so hard for. Or maybe you’ve just been laid off and you’re feeling less like a human being and more like a number on a spreadsheet.

One thing’s for sure – you know you need to find a new job. But this task seems daunting – the job market sucks right now, and where you used to feel like it was easy to job hop, now all of a sudden it feels like a completely different ball game. Maybe after a few rejections, your confidence is at an all-time low. Your sense of self-worth has taken a hit.

That’s why I’ve created The Authentic Job Search support group for job seekers – to provide you with a support system and the resources you need to get your mojo back and build an authentic and sustainable job search so that you can find a job where you can bring your authentic self to work every day.

The Authentic Job Search

I believe that while we may need to work to live, we shouldn’t live to work. Work is a huge part of our life, but it’s not the most important thing. You are so much more than your job. Your worth is not based on only what you can provide to a company.

My coaching approach is to take a holistic view of the self. Although we may feel like we’re a different person as an employee, we’re still the same person who returns to our family and friends when we close our laptops for the day. My coaching explores our different identities and finds ways to merge them into one holistic person. In this way, we can feel that we’re being our authentic self whether we’re in a job interview or at dinner with a friend.

Searching for jobs takes time and energy, and while my greatest hope is that you come out of our time together with the job of your dreams, realistically I want you walk away from our time together with more confidence in yourself and strategies that will help you get what you want from your job, which ultimately impacts your happiness in life.

Who is The Authentic Job Search for?

Whether you’re just starting your job search or you’ve been plugging away for months; whether you currently have a job or you don’t; our job search group is designed with you in mind.

Whether you’ve worked for several companies already over your career, or you spent most of your time at one company – this is for mid-career professionals looking to make a shift.

The most recent cohort was a diverse group based in the U.S. and Europe with careers in Tech and Product ranging from Engineering to UX Design.

What does the Authentic Job Search program look like?

Once a week for 10 weeks, we’ll meet as a group to work on our challenges and support each other on our job search journeys.

During our first session, we’ll explore our challenges together and decide collectively which ones are most important to address over the coming weeks. For the most recent cohort, these themes were building confidence and navigating imposter syndrome, remaining positive and resilient, and clearly communicating value.

Then, in the following weeks I’ll bring resources and coaching exercises tailored to the needs of the group in order to address our challenges and build a sustainable job search.

During our 10 weeks together we will:

Explore our challenges as a group and find solutions together
Learn strategies for bringing our authentic selves to the entire job search process
Gain confidence and trust in our own abilities and resources
Build a sustainable job search through self-compassion
Celebrate our wins in a supportive community

Reviews of The Authentic Job Search

Kelly's job search group helped me learn how to approach my own job search with a new and powerful mindset. Instead of concentrating on little job application tricks, like other groups do, this group helped me revise my entire approach to the job search by reframing how I present myself to potential employers. The other participants each had valuable suggestions to make, and Kelly kept the conversation dynamic so that everybody could both contribute and benefit. The program was well structured with a clear progression between sessions, so that I could see improvements along the way. I found the entire experience beneficial and would highly recommend it to others currently exploring a change in career, difficulty in their job search or otherwise needing a way to expand how they think about their search.

Being part of The Authentic Job Search Group was an amazing experience to become connected and confident in my job search. In what feels like a chaotic time, Kelly created a supportive and manageable learning space. Before joining Kelly's job search group, to clarify my “value” felt overwhelming. She provided tools to help me navigate, uncover and realize the true value that I bring. She has a welcoming presence and made space for us to show-up as our authentic selves. I walked away with a much more grounded presence and a clearer vision forward.

About me

Hi! I’m Kelly. I’m no stranger to career ups and downs. During my 18-year career, I’ve shifted from marketing to data analytics, worked in industries ranging from entertainment to tech, became a manager, was laid off (twice), and pivoted careers to become a coach. I didn’t have someone to help guide me through all of this, and I wish I had.

That’s why I’m here to help you to navigate your career. As your coach, I’ll help to shine a light and walk beside you as you navigate the path toward your next chapter. You’ll emerge from the fog with more clarity, confidence, and a feeling of momentum.

I’m an ICF ACC-certified Career Coach. My coaching methodology is solutions-focused and grounded in identity and values exploration in order to connect actions to what’s most meaningful.
