They pulled a leadership throughline out of my chaos. The story finally made sense to hiring managers, and every interview felt cleaner.
Netflix
Clarity coaching felt like a reset. We turned scattered projects into one clear narrative, and the feedback in interviews changed immediately.

Amazon
Negotiation stopped being awkward. We mapped my leverage, rehearsed the ask, and the offer jumped. I walked away confident and respected.

I negotiated a level up because I could finally defend my value. That confidence changed everything.
