Pivot your career. On purpose.
Hi, I'm Leigh

CAREER MOVES ARE HARD
Whether you're changing roles, you've been laid off, or you're going after something completely different, it's a hit to your confidence. And most of us are out of practice. We only do it when we absolutely have to.
I've seen hiring from every side.
I'm an Australian who's spent 20 + years in talent, recruiting and leadership across Australia, the UK and the US. I've screened candidates, advised the executives who make hiring decisions, and trained the recruiting teams who decide who gets through. I've also watched round after round of tech layoffs, and seen how hard it is for talented people to get noticed, even with a strong track record.
Then I made a pivot of my own. I spent five years building my coaching practice alongside my corporate career before going all in.
Now I'm in your corner.
I bring a recruiter's inside view of how hiring really works, and a coach's training for the confidence, doubt and decisions that come with any career move. You don't have to navigate this alone. Together, we'll make sure you show up at your best and land the outcome you want.
So, what does a
Career Strategist & Coach actually do?
The strategy is the plan: how to position yourself, where to focus, and what to do next, whether that's landing your next role or figuring out what that role should be.
The coaching is everything else. When doubt, overthinking or a string of rejections starts to wear you down, we work through it, so it doesn't hold you back.
And the accountability keeps you moving, so your next step actually happens.
Because a career move isn't just a strategy problem.
It's a human one.
The experience behind the strategy
I know careers from both sides of the table.
As a career strategist, I bring 20+ years of experience as a recruiter and advisor to talent leaders and executives, giving me an inside understanding of how companies hire, assess talent and make decisions. I also understand how technology is reshaping recruiting, and why getting noticed in today's hiring market is harder than ever.
As a professionally trained coach, I know that making a career change isn't just about having the right strategy. It can challenge your confidence, your identity and everything you've assumed about what comes next.
And I believe AI can be one of the most powerful tools in your career, when you know how to use it.
It's an incredible thinking partner. It's a terrible accountability partner.
That's why I combine real-world career expertise, smart tools and human coaching to help you figure out what comes next and actually move toward it.
