You're not stuck.You're mispositioned.

This page lays out every way I work with leaders, from senior managers to VPs and emerging executives, so you can see what fits before we ever talk. When you're ready, the first conversation is 15 minutes, one on one, and free.

Where we'd start

    Talk this through with me

    The foundation of everything I do

    The Career Advancement Blueprint

    The Blueprint is my framework, and I customize it to wherever you are. Whether you need all of it or one piece, the work is built on it, so what you say, what you write, and what people find when they look you up all tell the same story.

    1. Clarify your value

      We name what you've actually done and what it's worth, in language a decision maker respects.

    2. Craft your career story

      One narrative that connects where you've been to where you're going.

    3. Revamp the resume

      Rebuilt around that story and the level you're targeting.

    4. Optimize LinkedIn

      Your profile says the same thing your resume does, before you're in the room.

    5. Tell it so it lands

      In interviews, in promotion conversations, in the meeting that matters.

    The work

    Everything I help with

    Available as a full engagement or as focused sessions on the piece you need most.

    Executive Coaching

    For leaders who need to be seen, heard, and trusted at a higher level. Privately, or sponsored by your company.

    What we work on

    Executive presence, how you communicate under pressure, how you frame decisions, and how you navigate the people above and around you.

    You walk away with

    An honest read on how you're perceived and a plan to change it on purpose.

    See executive coaching in detail

    Two ways to engage

    Private coaching

    You're investing in yourself. Confidential, one on one, built around your goals.

    Start a private inquiry
    Company-sponsored coaching

    Your organization invests in you or your leaders. Scoped with HR or L&D, with outcomes the business can see.

    Start a corporate inquiry

    Career Pivot and Shift

    For experienced professionals moving into a new role, function, or industry.

    What we work on

    What transfers, which roles to target, and how to explain the move so it makes sense to someone who has never met you.

    You walk away with

    A clear target, a story that connects your past to it, and materials that back it up.

    Promotion and Repositioning

    For when you're ready for the next level and it hasn't come.

    What we work on

    How leadership sees you today, who actually makes the decision, and what they need to see from you before the conversation happens.

    You walk away with

    Your promotion case and the visibility plan behind it.

    Workplace Strategy

    For the manager, the colleague, or the company that's making the work harder than it should be.

    What we work on

    We map the dynamic, decide what's yours to fix and what isn't, and prepare what you'll actually say.

    You walk away with

    A decision, and the words to act on it.

    Interview Prep and Training

    For when the interview is coming and you want to walk in certain.

    What we work on

    Answers built around one consistent career story, then practice with direct feedback until your delivery matches your experience.

    You walk away with

    A story that lands and the confidence of having already said it out loud.

    Career Story, Resume and LinkedIn

    For when your materials undersell who you are now.

    What we work on

    We craft your story inside the Blueprint, then rebuild your resume and LinkedIn profile around it.

    You walk away with

    A resume, a profile, and a spoken introduction that finally match each other and match your level.

    Terry Jones
    Corporate can make you forget what you're worth. Part of this work is remembering.

    Strategy matters. So does the person carrying it out. A lot of the people I work with have been worn down by years of being overlooked, reorganized, or talked over.

    So in every engagement, I'm also doing this: helping you see yourself clearly again, and giving you real reasons to expect more.

    Working together

    Two ways in

    The full engagement

    The complete Career Advancement Blueprint, customized to you, with coaching through the move itself.

    Best when the next move is a big one.

    Focused sessions

    One piece of the work, done well. Interview prep, a resume and LinkedIn rebuild, or a strategy session on a specific problem.

    Best when you know exactly what you need.

    Bringing coaching to your organization? If you lead HR, L&D, or a team and want coaching for your managers and leaders, I partner with your organization to design it.

    Questions people ask first

    Why don't you list prices?

    Because I don't sell a package off a shelf. As a former head of Learning and Development with a background in curriculum and instructional design, I build each engagement around the person in front of me: where you are, where you're going, and what's actually in the way. That custom design is what sets the investment. Full engagements are a four-figure investment, and focused sessions are less.

    Can I bring coaching to my company?

    Yes. If you're in HR, L&D, or leading a team and want coaching for the people in your organization, I design company-sponsored coaching with you, built around your leaders and the outcomes your business needs. Start a corporate inquiry.

    What happens on the 15-minute call?

    You tell me where you are and what you want next. I ask a few direct questions, then tell you what I'd recommend. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so.

    Can I work with you on just one thing?

    Yes. Interview prep, a resume and LinkedIn rebuild, or a single strategy session are all available on their own.

    My title isn't "executive." Is this for me?

    Yes. I work with senior managers, directors, VPs, and anyone who leads, because titles don't tell the whole story. Plenty of people carry a manager title and lead far beyond it. Much of this work is about being seen at the level you're already operating at, and the one you're heading toward.

    Is everything virtual?

    Yes. Sessions happen over video, so you can work with me from anywhere.

    Your next move should not be a guess.

    Fifteen minutes. One on one. You'll leave knowing what to do next, whether or not we work together.
