Certified Career Coach in Denver, CO
Find work that fits. One-on-one coaching for mid-career professionals who are stuck, burned out or ready for a change — from figuring out what's next to negotiating the offer.
I Spent Twelve Years Hiring People. Now I Coach Them.
Before Tallbridge, I ran recruiting teams for two Denver tech companies and a regional hospital system. I read thousands of resumes and sat on the other side of hundreds of interviews — and I watched talented people undersell themselves over and over.
Since 2015 I've coached more than 700 professionals through career changes, layoffs, promotions and first-time negotiations. My job is to help you get clear on what you want, then give you a plan and the words to go get it.

Where to Start
Start with the piece you're stuck on, or bundle them into a package.
Career Coaching Is a Good Fit If…
You're good at your job and bored by it
The work is fine. You just can't picture ten more years of it.
You were laid off and need a plan fast
We'll triage your search in the first session so the weeks count.
You keep getting interviews, not offers
Usually it's the stories, not the resume. That's very fixable.
You want a raise or promotion this year
We'll build the case and rehearse the conversation.
You're changing fields after 10+ years
Your experience transfers further than you think — we'll translate it.
You're returning after time away
Caregiving, health or a sabbatical — we'll frame the gap with confidence.
Four Steps From Stuck to Signed
Get Clear
Assessments and honest conversation about what you want, what you're good at and what you won't do again.
Test It
Short informational interviews and small experiments before you commit to a new direction.
Tell the Story
A resume, LinkedIn profile and interview stories that make your next move make sense.
Land It
A focused search, interview practice and a negotiation plan for the offer.

Outplacement Coaching for Your Team
When a role is eliminated, how people leave matters. Denver companies bring me in to coach departing employees through their next step — one-on-one sessions, resume reviews and a job search plan, billed to the company.
It's a kinder exit for your people and a better story for your culture.
- ✓Individual coaching for each departing employee
- ✓Packages from one session to three months
- ✓Private — nothing reported back without the employee's consent

Questions Before You Book
Do you only work with people in Denver?
No — most sessions happen by video call with clients across the US. Denver clients can also meet in person at my LoDo office.
How is career coaching different from a recruiter?
A recruiter is paid by a company to fill a role. I'm paid by you, so the only goal is the right next move for you — including deciding to stay where you are.
Can you guarantee I'll get a job?
No honest coach can. What I can promise is a clear plan, stronger materials and a lot more confidence in the room. How long a search takes depends on your field and your market, and we'll set a realistic timeline together.
Do you write resumes from scratch?
We rewrite yours together, line by line. You'll understand every choice, which makes it far easier to talk about in interviews.
What if I'm not sure I want to leave my job?
That's what the Career Clarity Session is for. Plenty of clients decide to reshape the job they have instead.
Is coaching the same as therapy?
No. Coaching is forward-looking and practical. If something deeper comes up, I'll suggest you talk with a licensed therapist alongside or instead of coaching.
Let's Talk About What's Next
Send a note and I'll reply with times for a free 20-minute call. Sessions run Monday to Friday by appointment — by video call, or in person at my LoDo office.
