WORK BY DESIGN, LIFE BY DESIGN
A 3-month framework to build a career and lifestyle that are Balanced, Meaningful, and Sustainable — without sacrificing your energy, focus, or well-being.

You’ve achieved a lot in your career — by almost any measure, you’re successful.

And yet… something still feels off. The long hours, the constant pressure, the never-ending expectations — they’re draining more than your energy. They’re clouding your clarity, limiting your focus, and leaving you wondering if the life you’ve built is really the one you want.

You’re stuck between what looks impressive on paper and what truly matters to you. You keep hoping things will shift, but the perfect time never comes, and the right moment doesn’t exist.

You don’t need to work harder. You need a way forward that’s intentional, sustainable, and designed for you — a path that reconnects your career with your life, step by step.

Imagine having the clarity, focus, and confidence to create a career and life that actually feel right — one that brings you balance, meaning, and lasting satisfaction.

WHAT IF YOU COULD CREATE A CAREER YOU LOVE AND A LIFE YOU ACTUALLY ENJOY?

This 1:1 program helps you break free from self-doubt, pressure, and uncertainty so you can set clear boundaries, build confidence, and gain the tools to move forward boldly—Whether your goal is advancing in your career, launching a side business, making a big career shift, or finally writing that book you have been dreaming about, this program equips you to get there faster and with less stress.

THE TIME FRAMEWORK

NOW: Strong Foundations – We start by finding focus, setting boundaries that stick, and reclaiming your energy so you can channel it into what matters today.

FAQ

1. How soon will I see results?

Once we start working together, most clients who take consistent action begin to see changes within the first 2-4 weeks. By the end of the program, you'll have tackled your most pressing goals and made significant progress in your journey. You'll also develop practical strategies to keep advancing.

2. Who is this program most suited for?

I work with senior leaders, founders, and high-achieving professionals at a turning point in their careers. They’re looking for more clarity, impact, or a new direction: not just in their work, but in their lives as a whole. The main difference lies in the size of the goals and challenges they’re facing.

This is not a career coaching program. It’s not about reviewing your resume or job applications. Instead, I help you define how to work better now and what’s next, aligning your work and life with what truly matters and taking action toward meaningful progress.

3. How can I contact you if I still have questions?

 I recommend booking a quick chat to explore if this program is the best fit for you at this moment. There's no pressure, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know people. If it feels like the right fit, great. If not, I’m happy to point you toward other helpful resources.
