After years in corporate HR leadership, I saw too many talented people blindsided by layoffs and office politics with no one to guide them. In 2020, I left the corporate world to found The Job Doctor, a company built to translate insider HR knowledge into practical, accessible guidance for individuals navigating a career.
I built the company from scratch across multiple channels simultaneously: creating podcast-style videos for TikTok that broke down real career navigation tactics, launching a companion podcast to extend reach, and landing a book deal with Harper Collins, one of the top business book publishers in the nation—all while growing a consulting client base through referrals and speaking engagements. My thought thought leadership on the future of work was quoted in articles and media across the globe, and hands-on client work at the same time in the company's earliest, most resource-constrained days.
The results within two years were substantial: my TikTok following grew past 500,000, with my ad-hoc live sessions averaging 8,000–10,000 participants and ranking in the top 2% of similar creators. My book became a category bestseller and I built a six-figure consulting practice serving both individual clients and corporate teams. Fortune 500 HR departments now hire me to train their teams or coach individuals, and I have a robust keynote schedule. I was named one the Top Speakers to Watch in 2022 in USA Today. I've been featured as a career expert on NPR, NewsNation, Good Morning America and several other prominent media outlets, and I'm regularly quoted in articles for top tier publications like The Wall Street Journal .
Beyond the metrics, the impact shows up in the messages I receive from people around the world who tell me my advice directly helped them land their dream job, navigate a difficult career challenge, or finally break through to a long-sought promotion—proof that the mission behind The Job Doctor is reaching the people it was built for.
