One-to-one coaching
You already know something has to change.
Coaching is how you decide before something decides for you, using evidence instead of a hunch about what you would probably be good at.
Forty five minutes, no charge, and no obligation afterwards.
Elysia came in from a contract role she loved and could not convert to full time, expecting help with her resume and her portfolio. What she describes getting was wider than that: exercises that named her skills and interests and lined them up against her values, direction on activating a professional network she had never worked before, and enough practice articulating her experience to do it with confidence when someone asked. The personalized support mattered too, because the emotional side of a job search is not a small thing to carry alone. Since finishing she has leveraged that network, landed interviews, negotiated salary, and taken a job that matches where she wants her career to go.
Context included. No shortcuts.

What career coaching is, and what it is not
A therapist
A therapist helps you understand why you feel how you feel.
A mentor
A mentor tells you what worked for them.
A coach
A coach works with you on a decision you have to make and holds you to the work it takes to make it well.
That means assessment you can evidence, research into real options, and a plan you can defend to yourself and to a hiring manager.
How it runs
What the work looks like
01
A complimentary call
Forty five minutes to work out what you are actually deciding, and whether coaching is the way to decide it.
02
Assessment you can evidence
Your strengths and motivators named specifically enough to be useful, using researched self-assessment tools rather than a personality quiz.
03
Options tested against reality
A decision matrix built from what actually motivates you, then real research and real conversations with people already doing the work.
04
A search you can run
Target roles, the hidden job market, and your narrative sharpened across resume, LinkedIn, cover letters, and interviews, through to negotiating the offer.

Stories of transformation
Allen worked with Your Career Strategy to make an international career transition that left him feeling like he was the one interviewing the companies that he chose to pursue. His journey took him from China to Malaysia to California and finally to London where he was able to secure work authorization and a job aligned with his values and ideal career path.
Jolene found herself in the midst of a career transition during the pandemic. She had grown her career over the last 20 years to become a leader in the events and conferences space. Through our work, she validated her fundamental strengths and values against her chosen direction, rebuilt her confidence, and in her own words, “became her best self.”
Nina was a transitioning teacher who couldn’t see herself in the classroom anymore. She wasn’t sure what she wanted next and that’s where the work with YCS came in. In 4 months she was able to land a new role in a totally new industry, Professional Services, with a 100% increase in base compensation.
Questions
What clients ask first
- What does coaching cost?
- Engagements are quoted per client, because the right shape depends on what you are deciding and how long it takes. The complimentary call is where that gets established, and there is no charge for it and no obligation after it.
- How long does coaching take?
- Six months is the average time clients take to gain clarity and transition into their ideal career path. The programs are built around that rather than around a fixed number of sessions.
- Which program is right for me?
- Four programs cover early career, leadership and performance, career transition, and work life balance. If you are between two of them, that is a good thing to bring to the call rather than something to resolve first.
- Who would I be working with?
- A team of career, life, and leadership coaches. Their backgrounds and specialisms are on the coaches page, and you meet the person you would work with on the call.
- Do you work with clients outside the United States?
- Yes. This practice has worked with clients across six continents, and coaching runs remotely as standard.
