There are no quick answers to complex problems - including career problems.
It’s never - “You just have to update your resume” or something similar.
Also, there are no guarantees in life so why should we offer guarantees to you?
In this episode, I explain exactly why we don’t offer money-back guarantees (like so many other coaches are doing right now)...
…and more importantly, I explain why embracing your own agency - your own badass power - is the key to your career success.

It’s back-to-school time so let’s talk about books and online courses.
Let’s get serious about what they can and cannot do.
In this episode, I invite you to take an honest look at what you’re doing (and not doing) to intentionally create your dream tech career.
And ask yourself: Are those books and online courses REALLY helping?
Because they are NOT the key to career success.
In this episode, I talk about what that key is.
