For Senior Professionals
Career strategy for senior ICs and technical professionals deciding whether to stay, leave, renegotiate, pivot, go for Staff or Principal or change how they operate inside the system.
For complicated work decisions
Clear decisions for complicated work.
I help capable people make clear decisions about careers, leadership and teams inside complicated work systems.
My clients include senior ICs, technical professionals, founders, EDs and leadership teams navigating questions that don’t have clean answers.
Three doors in.
Different rooms, same work: clearer decisions under pressure.
For Leaders
Coaching for founders, EDs and senior leaders navigating confidence, conflict, influence, role clarity, difficult rooms and decisions they can’t fully process inside their own organization.
For Organizations
Facilitation, People strategy and board advisory for organizations that need their leadership aligned and the room actually moving.
Common decisions I help with.
The questions people actually arrive with. If one of these is sitting on your mind, that’s a good place to start.
“Do I stay or do I leave?”
“Is it worth asking for a promotion here?”
“How do I stay effective when work gets political?”
“How do we get our leadership team unstuck?”
Proof, in their words.
Clients bring career questions, leadership pressure, team dynamics and decisions that matter.
“Sophie helped me move reflection into action. I developed new relationships, asked for what I needed at work and found a new path inside my company.”

“Sophie was instrumental in getting our organization unstuck. She brought structure, calm and clarity to a delicate transition.”
Vanessa B.Executive Director, Electrify DC
“In just two sessions, Sophie helped me find the confidence and clarity to make a decision I don’t think I would have taken without her support. She brought in perspectives I hadn’t yet seen.”

Personal, not platitudes.
A good session should leave people with more than feelings. It should create language, priorities, next moves and a cleaner read of the system they’re operating inside.
I work across 1:1 coaching, leadership conversations, workshops and facilitated rooms, from senior technical professionals making career decisions to organizations trying to get unstuck.
First, get a cleaner read.
Most people arrive with a question. The useful work is often figuring out whether it’s the real question.
1
Read the system.
Is this a person problem, role problem, manager problem, company problem, market problem or self-trust problem?
2
Name the real blocker.
Separate ambition, fear, loyalty, burnout, politics, incentives and actual evidence.
3
Choose the next move.
Stay better, ask for what you need, restructure the room, prepare to leave or pivot with a plan.
Quit Your Job Club
A practical workshop concept for people wondering whether to stay, leave, renegotiate or pivot at work. Not everyone needs to quit. Everyone should know their next move.

Bring me the decision you’re trying to make.
Career, leadership, team, board, founder or “I know something is off but I can’t name it yet.” That’s usually a useful place to start.
