Your resume & LinkedIn profile is the foundation of managing your career;
they are the only places that will tell the story of your work history,
showcase your capabilities and most importantly, help you authentically stand out.
I call this your Professional Brand.
I can upgrade your Professional Brand for you.
Why your Professional Brand matters:
Your resume and LinkedIn profile is your gateway to new opportunities, no matter your job level. Yet, no one tells you how to use them to your benefit so they actually work. Instead, you're left guessing. Which results in trial and error, time wasted and most often, missed opportunities.
In my 16-years in HR, I saw hundreds and hundreds of examples of resumes that do not match the level of experience and professionalism a person has. What does that even mean? It means - most people have a resume that looks like everyone else's and looks like an entry-level professional threw it together last minute.
You're a VP? Oh, your resume tells the story of your experience at about the Manager level.
Looks matter. Content matters more. Using a modern day approach helps set you apart.
YOU are the one people want to know, except most resumes are so generic and sterile, they say nothing about WHO you are. If you want to be hired for who you are and what you do, your resume needs to tell that story. That's what stands out, not the generic tales of what anyone and everyone in your same job could have done.
Times are different and the way we seek jobs and hire people have changed.
Your Professional Brand needs to align with the present time.
I believe everyone has extraordinary experience and something unique to offer and by using firsthand experience and proven strategies, it is pure joy helping you stand out.

About Lesha...
I've spent the last 20 years in and around corporate America, including small to medium sized businesses to large corporations, through my career in Human Resources and coaching business. My HR career was spent in several industries and supporting organizations within various functions, including Technology, Sales, Retail, Marketing, Operations, Finance, and Human Resources.
With my professional branding clients, I use insider information and real-life techniques from my involvement in recruiting and being part of thousands of interviews and hiring decisions. I've also been through it all in my own career - changing jobs, changing companies, getting promoted, making lateral moves, getting fired, and getting laid off.
I believe every professional needs a strong professional brand that aligns with who they are and highlights their tremendous experience. I love bringing that to life for you.

A FEW COMPANIES WHERE MY CLIENTS HAVE LANDED NEW OPPORTUNITIES:
Client Success
Achieving the goals in your career is worth your investment in this program,
but it's only natural to wonder what happens with the people with whom I work!
Here's what previous clients have shared:
During interviews, executives thanking them for having a resume
that doesn't look like everyone else's.
80% of clients secured themselves a new job within four months.
Clients made more money in their next position.
Experiencing more enjoyment in their new company and positions.
While applying and interviewing for internal job opportunities,
client's resume stood out as "one of the best ever seen" by executives
and quickly became sought out by colleagues.
Felt their resumes and LinkedIn profiles were better aligned
to positions and companies that brought out the best in their work history.
Clients either up-leveled their position or made an intentional lateral move,
but did not down-level in their new position.
Feedback indicated they felt empowered to leave a negative work environment
or bad boss due to feeling much more confident.
Previous concerns about being passed over by competition
faded because their resume looked and felt different than any other and
truly highlights what they are capable of.
Many were brought to tears when looking at their new resume for the first time
because they had forgotten all the really great things they have done in their career.
