The Five Things
They Don’t Teach You
About Starting a Career
A Introduction To Getting Ahead in the Corporate World
The Insider Advantage
Degrees open doors.
But thriving in Corporate America takes more than a diploma.
I coach senior executives at the top of their careers, and I mentor the ambitious who want to enter the workforce with the same insider confidence.
You’ve invested in education.
Ready for the workforce?
Why This Matters
Getting into the right school is a milestone. But it’s only the beginning.
What comes next is even harder: standing out in the workforce. Most schools focus on knowledge. Few prepare students for what managers actually look for in interns and new hires. That’s why so many talented graduates struggle to land their first job, or to make an impact once they’re in.
My mentorship bridges that gap. I translate 20+ years of corporate leadership experience into practical, real-world preparation for students stepping into their careers.
Who This Is For
This mentorship is designed for:
Students preparing for internships or their first professional role
Recent graduates launching into Corporate America
Achievers who want their investment in education to pay off with real-world career success
What You’ll Learn
My programs cover the skills schools don’t teach: the unspoken rules that separate good hires from great ones:
Decode the System: Learn how Corporate America really works and what managers pay attention to.
Resumes & Interviews: Build a results-driven resume and practice interview skills that create confidence.
The First 90 Days: Understand how to build trust quickly, make an impact, and avoid rookie mistakes.
Extended Mentorship: Develop networking strategies, personal brand skills, and a long-term career roadmap.
Get ahead by getting ready.
