Navigating Your
First Time as a
Career
Changer
You spent a good chunk of your career just going with the flow.
That was working for a while. Until one day, you realized…
You lost a lot of time doing something you no longer enjoy (or never did).
You fell into (insert profession here) and it paid the bills.
You’re bored and want to do something new.
You have to wait until someone leaves in order to get promoted. And no one wants to leave.
You spent months on Google to find resources, but all it did was made you feel overwhelmed.
Everyone you know seems to be doing well and you want the same for yourself.
You wish you had someone to talk to but no one in your friend circle will understand.
You need help to make this career change happen and don’t want to wait another day.
This is where you and I meet.
Lessons learned
from a serial career changer
After completing 18+ career changes since graduating from college and coaching hundreds of clients through their own career change process, I understand them well.
The events that prompt the change.
The feelings that lead to the sense of urgency to do something right now.
The excitement that occurs when you envision future you.
The vulnerability of putting yourself in unfamiliar spaces.
I also know the feelings that follow when you achieve your career goals. The overwhelming joy you feel when you get the job offer. The sense of accomplishment that comes with landing your first paid client as independent consultant. The happiness that develops when you announce on LinkedIn that you’re doing something new.
The road that connects the before and after isn’t complicated, but it will test you. Some people keep at it while others might find themselves discouraged and quit. That’s why it’s so important to get the right system in place that will enable you to succeed.
Solution
The right system includes a career change framework, resources, actions to take
that are relevant to you, feedback, and an accountability partner. It’s what I offer through personalized, one-on-one coaching for first time career changers.
Testimonials

Senior Consultant
First-time Company Changer
I was very lucky to have her as my career coach during a time where I needed that additional guidance and support.
Leang consistently challenged my old ways of thinking and posed powerful questions. She offered practical, meaningful support and advice.

First-time Career Changer (from Entrepreneurship)
Leang is an amazing coach! I learned how to approach networking in a fun and authentic way.
I also learned what makes me stand out as a professional. She makes sure we have all the tools and confidence to put things into motion. Networking is not only about meeting people, it’s about having insights about yourself! Because of everything I learned with Leang, I realized that I didn't want to pursue a role in a company, rather focus on my business.

First-time Intentional Networker
I learned that I am worthy to want to reach out to someone and that I am confident in doing so. Leang has really opened my eyes. I've not networked properly prior to these sessions.
Thank you so much, Leang. I feel in the short time (x4 sessions) I've grown more confident!
