Hi! I'm Derek.
I help individuals develop vision that enables them to achieve their full potential.
Does the following sound familiar?
You’re feeling somewhat lost on your career journey and searching for your “why.”
You don’t know how to stand out from the thousands of other applicants on the job search.
You’re looking to make your next career move but you don’t know where to start.
You want to be a successful, mission-driven leader that inspires others – but you aren’t getting the guidance and development that you need from your organization.
I’ve developed a tailored approach that’s designed to help leaders like you discover your “why,” define your career goals, and master your storytelling—both on LinkedIn and in how you pitch yourself.
Our coaching support helps you land more interviews and job offers for roles that are tailor-made for you.
