Tired of doing everything “right” and still feeling invisible in the green-jobs market?

From overlooked applicant to confident contender.

I help early- and mid-career professionals who want to transition into purpose-driven work on climate solutions.

No obligation.
We’ll talk about where you are now and whether the program is the right fit.

Take Control of Your Job Search

Most people trying to break into climate work apply and wait, apply and wait, apply and wait.
Together, we’ll turn that around.

Find Your North Star

Rather than continuing to fit yourself into job postings, I’ll help you get clear on the work you want to do, and why.

We’ll assess your known strengths and uncover the forgotten ones, the skills that come so naturally you overlook them.

We’ll surface any fears or self-limiting beliefs that may subconsciously be holding you back, so you can name your unique value with confidence.

Pick Organizations Worth Your Energy

Don’t let job postings set your direction. They can be outdated, already filled, or just an employer’s wish list.

I’ll help you identify the organizations doing impactful work that resonates with you, and articulate why your skills and experience make you a strong fit.

Think Like a Consultant, Not an Applicant

We’ll dig into each organization’s mission and challenges, and where your background and experience can make a difference, so you arrive with clarity and a point of view, not a plea for a job.

Create Visibility and Build Relationships

I’ll guide you through the process of setting yourself apart in a crowded job market by reaching out as a thought partner, asking insightful questions and offering fresh perspectives that demonstrate how you think, building a strategy to connect with the right people and land or create work you love.

What the twelve-week program looks like

A structured, one-to-one coaching program, not a course you watch alone, or just more résumé polishing.

It draws on neuroscience-informed practices that build your awareness, so you notice the thoughts and patterns holding you back and show up as the talented professional you are. Paired with practical networking and outreach, they help you land work you love.

The goal is simple. You’ll finish knowing three things:

What you do best
Which organizations need it
How to reach the right people

And you’ll be able to clearly articulate all three, in conversation and in writing.

What it’s like working with me

Rather than fixating on job descriptions, Lisa pushes you to identify organizations you genuinely want to work for and think like a consultant, asking what problems they have that your specific background can solve. This reframe alone was worth the eight weeks: instead of trying to squeeze yourself into someone else’s requirements, you’re walking in with a value proposition. Lisa also brings a deeply human dimension to the process, weaving in daily gratitude practices and career visioning exercises that help you stay grounded when the search gets discouraging. If you’re looking for someone who will help you optimize your resume, look elsewhere; if you want someone who will help you think bigger and search smarter, Lisa is the one.

If you’re on the fence about making a shift to climate work, let me just say … Lisa has a gift for helping people see their own experience in a completely new light. She helps you connect the dots between what you already do well and what’s possible as a next step.

Lisa is delightful to work with. She has great ideas for networking and outreach and gave me practical suggestions that helped me feel more confident connecting with people in the industry. I truly appreciate the time she took to research my areas of interest. She’s supportive, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping people find their place in climate work.

As someone that is new to the process of looking for a job, Lisa has provided a good structure of processes, tools, tidbits of knowledge and helpful resources to make the process not only less daunting but fun. She offers exercises that were helpful for me to have a starting place with inventorying my known and forgotten strengths and begin to explore a vision of what my next role would look and feel like. All of this with the intention of finding opportunities that align with me, my strengths and what I desire next.

Hi, I’m Lisa.

I’ve spent more than two decades in high-tech sales. With a lifelong interest in environmental justice and sustainability, I completed an MBA in Sustainable Enterprise.

My mission is to help the right people land the right jobs to advance climate solutions.

As a certified coach and career strategist who navigated the challenging green-jobs market myself, I created Green Career Shift, the program I wish I’d had.

I help you get clear on what you want to do and why, on the unique skills and experience you bring, and on the fears and self-limiting beliefs that may be holding you back.

Together we build a strategy for outreach that creates visibility in a crowded job market.

Change your thinking, change your results. When fears and old beliefs stop steering your decisions, you move forward with clarity, conviction, and confidence.
