🟧 IT Talent: Your Career, Illuminated

For analysts, engineers, and support pros ready to be seen for more than just tickets closed or systems maintained.

You’re the one everyone calls when something breaks.

But when it comes to your own career… who supports you?

You’ve built your expertise solving high-stakes problems,
often in the background,
often under pressure.

And yet:

• You’re rarely recognized for the strategy behind your support

• You’re navigating burnout, budget cuts, or being seen as "overhead"

• You’ve watched roles get outsourced or automated — and you’re wondering if you’re next

• You’ve hit a ceiling — or you're stuck somewhere you don’t want to stay

• You’ve got the technical chops… but keep getting passed over for promotions or roles that seem “just out of reach”

All while holding up entire systems, teams, and people.

This can be lonely work.

But you’re not alone anymore.

I See You.
I’ve Hired You.
I Advocate for You.

Over the past 20+ years,
I’ve hired, coached, and supported IT professionals
across nearly every function:

• 🧰 Help Desk + Service Desk

• 🧑‍💻 Desktop Support + Field Techs

• 🔒 Network & Systems Engineering

• 🧠 Business Analysts + Implementation

• 🏢 Corporate IT + Infrastructure Leadership

I’ve worked on both sides —
from scrappy startups where you wear 10 hats,
to Fortune 500 giants with layers of process.
I know how organizations view your role,
the assumptions they make,
and the value they often overlook.

And I know how to help you claim your story,
your strength,
and your seat at the table —
without having to become someone you’re not.

Common Questions IT Professionals Ask Me:

• “I do a little bit of everything… how do I show my depth and my breadth?”

• “Why do roles always want experience in everything plus 10 tools I’ve never used?”

• “How do I get out of support and into strategy?”

• “I’m not great at selling myself — how do I talk about my work without jargon or feeling like I’m bragging?”

• “I’ve survived three layoffs. How do I talk about it without sounding unstable?”

• “What does it actually take to move into leadership?”
  
  

What Gets You Hired Isn’t Just Technical —
It’s Human

Yes, technical assessments matter.

But when it comes to being hired — and staying hired —
your emotional intelligence, communication skills,
and adaptability are what make the difference.

You already know how to:

• Stay calm in chaos

• Translate tech into people-speak

• Balance logic with empathy

• Support under pressure, even when you’re under-resourced

These aren’t just “soft” skills.
They are your differentiators.
And they’re deeply valuable —
in interviews, on teams, and in your next role.

You Don’t Need to Have it All Figured Out

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by job boards,
stuck in a role you’ve outgrown,
or just starting to imagine what more could look like —
I’m here to guide you, step by step.

You don’t have to explain or justify why this matters to you.
You don’t have to become someone else to grow.
And you don’t have to do it alone.
