Job Change Midnight Worries
🌙Where do I start? I feel overwhelmed.
🌙How can I stand out with all the competition?
🌙How do I deal with this stress?
If you shook your head "yes" to any of these questions, I've got you covered.
Career transitions are hard (particularly if unexpected).
You'll be on a rollercoaster for a spell - so having a wingman like me along for while to help you handle the stress and strategy is a good investment.
I bring a supportive and strategic eye in dusting off resumes, building LinkedIn profiles, polishing interviewing skills, eradicating imposter syndrome, and all the other pieces necessary to put your most brilliant foot forward.
I make the process quick & energizing.
My approach is straightforward, practical and even (gasp!) fun, time-tested over the last 20+ years with the myriads of lawyers and other professionals I've coached.
Let's do this together. 🫶

MEET THE EXPERT
Hi, I'm Marianne —
I help lawyers get what they want.
I know the unique challenges of being a busy lawyer, because I was one too.
After handling high-profile litigation for 14 years, I changed course and became an entrepreneur, coach, and business development expert. I still work in a law firm - now as its Chief Marketing & Business Development Officer - with lawyers I deeply admire.
I'm also a career and job navigation expert.
So if you are a lawyer in the middle of a job transition, or thinking about what might be next if your career, let me help you navigate those waves. No matter how many years you've practiced, what your area of law may be, or who you work for (Big Law or at a small firm, in-house, with the government, at a nonprofit, or transitioning back into the workforce after time away), the tools I use work immediately.
I'm always in your corner with ideas, support, & inspiration.
If you're ready to get nto action, below are five steps I recommend you start doing right now as a sample of what it's like to work with me.
Like these tips? I invite you to learn more on this site, sign up for the BFF Mailing List, or schedule a consult if you're ready to invest in a valuable coaching program (limited availability, evenings & weekends only)
