Mini Career Glow Up

Mini Career Glow Up

$500

Are you in a career transition, unsure of how to bridge the gap between who you are today and the person you aspire to become? It's a common challenge, I have been there before. I was unmotivated, depressed, and desperately needing clarity and a re-alignment.

Common Challenges

Are you struggling to figure out your next best career move?

Are thinking about transitioning to the tech industry but are unsure of your transferable skills and how to start?

Are you trying to future proof your career and looking for guidance on Ai based skill building?

What Not to Do When You're in a Career Transition:

Don't Ignore Your Feelings: It's tempting to push aside feelings of dissatisfaction or frustration, but ignoring them won't make them go away. Acknowledge your emotions and use them as fuel for change.

Don't Settle for Mediocrity: Accepting the status quo may seem easier in the short term, but it will only prolong your sense of dissatisfaction. Dare to dream big and strive for excellence in your career.

Don't Compare Yourself to Others: Your journey is unique, and comparing yourself to others will only breed self-doubt and insecurity. Focus on your own growth and progress, and celebrate your achievements along the way.

My proven step-by-step approach WORKS and will ignite a fire within you GUARANTEED!

Embrace Your Messy Middle: Take time to reflect on what truly matters to you in your career. What's happening in your world? What boundaries do you need to set to ignite your soul? Everything I create is designed with positive intentions. I have been where you are right now and I wish I had these resources to help me. My Overcoming a Real Career Plot Twist journal uses thought-provoking prompts to get insights into your world, help you gain clarity, structure, and alignment to your future self.

Mini Career Glow up: Schedule your 1:1 coaching session with me and I will read over your journal if you send it to me 48 hours in advance of your appointment.

I will provide personalized recommendations based on the current challenges and opportunities I see based on the information you write in the journal.About Dr. Melissa James:

The moment I knew I needed a change

I was diagnosed with Vitiligo in 2022, an auto-immune disease that causes the loss of skin color in blotches. It’s the white patches you will see on my face. There is no cure, and it can flare up at any moment. This change caused extreme anxiety, depression, and I completely lost confidence in myself. The medication costs $2800 per tube and was not covered by my insurance. I desperately needed a wellness break to adapt to this life change when I asked for a break from my employer I was fired.

That's when I realized your health can change at any time, but your company will just move on and not even think twice about you.

I started Real Career Revolution to help people navigate career transitions and share authentic stories. This community makes it easy for me to get out of bed on my hardest days.

Leah B.

I found myself laid off for the first time in my 21 year career from a Boston-based tech company - and after struggling on my own for over a year - that I needed more help and support. I had previously vetted numerous career coaches, but wanted to prioritize someone who truly understood the systemic issues that women of color face navigating leadership positions across several industries, and was someone I could trust. As a result of my first meeting with Dr. Melissa James, I have (1) clarified my next steps inclusive of a short term and long term plan; and (2) figured out a “low hanging fruit” career pivot to start making an income ASAP. But most importantly, I received the validation that this whole experience isn’t 100% my fault and that my goals are 110% achievable. I am happy to report based on Melissa's suggestions. I now have an extra $25K at a time when I need it the most. I have already booked my next three sessions with her!! I can't wait!

I want in!
