I did not start out wanting to be a career coach. I started as the person doing the hiring. Over my career I made 300+ hiring decisions across industries, and I watched talented people talk themselves out of roles they were more than qualified for. It was rarely about credentials. More often it came down to presentation, confidence, and strategy.
That insider view followed me through corporate recruiting and into higher education, where I advised students at one of the country’s top ranked universities. I kept seeing the same gap: capable professionals who could not translate what they brought to the table. So I built the M.O.V.E. Method© to systematize what I had been doing for over a decade. The results followed. 400+ career moves supported, and most clients reaching their goal in about 90 days, twice as fast as the national average.
When my employer shut down unexpectedly, I had to start over. Paige built a plan around my experience, my values, and my community ties, and it worked. I received a job offer before the position was publicly posted, doing mission driven work walking distance from home.
As a first generation college student, doubt and imposter syndrome can easily creep in, but Paige helped me see that my experience was not some fluke and helped me believe in myself. I now work for a wonderful company that is exactly what I was looking for, and I could not have done it without her.
Paige helped me prepare for an interview for a manager position at GiveDirectly, where I had been working in a more junior role. Her interview prep materials and consulting sessions were invaluable, and I got the new role. Even after the promotion, I received compliments from interviewers.
I have known and worked with Paige for over five years. She does not offer generic advice; she considers each person’s strengths, experiences, and goals to build tailored strategies. I consistently leave our conversations with greater clarity, confidence, and next steps.
Paige has helped me through every challenge I have faced when starting my career. I feel at ease working with her knowing she has my best interest in mind. She is responsive and brings a lot of valuable perspective.
I have been Paige’s mentee for seven years and could not recommend her more highly. It is rare to find someone so refreshingly honest who uses her emotional intelligence to give meaningful, actionable feedback that has been instrumental to my success.
