WHAT’S YOUR NEXT?
Partnering with later‑career leaders (50+) to design next chapters and navigate career transitions
You’ve built a career you’re proud of. You’ve excelled under pressure and made amazing things happen for others. Whether you’re eyeing the future or actively transitioning now, you crave a meaningful next chapter.
Now what?
This moment feels different.
The emotional and practical stakes feel higher — for yourself, the organization you're exiting, and the people you've served. And you're guessing that the strategies and mindset that drove your past success may not translate here.
You need a clear path and deep guidance as tough questions surface.
What is my identity without my job title?
Who will I spend my days with?
How will I find purpose?
Do my skills and experience still count?
What about the needs of others and my organization?
My client-tested framework and proprietary suite of resources combine structured reflection with strategic action. Together, we cut through the clutter and land on what’s possible.
HELLO!
I’m Emily, and I’ve probably walked in your shoes.
I’ve changed careers and embraced new roles at organizations of all sizes and sectors. I’ve worn many hats as a corporate executive, nonprofit leader, educator, and now Certified Professional Coach (CPC).
My practice focuses on later-life leaders at big inflection points because I’ve been there. My unplanned “retirement” from Deloitte in my 50’s cued an intense emotional roller coaster that put me face-to-face with my own what now? Finding little useful guidance as I navigated unfamiliar fears, my own plot twists, and deep-felt aspirations, I channeled what I learned (along with serious research — nerd alert!) to formalize my coaching practice.
A Roadmap, Not a Straitjacket
My approach blends research, reflection, and real-world action. It’s structured enough to keep us focused, yet nimble enough to bend with whatever life throws your way.
Real Tools
My signature Design Your Next Chapter© framework and the resources behind it are built to get you unstuck in the near- and long-term.
