Significant growth in your paycheck (10-20%) is the dream most are looking for in this economy.
When you want to make such a big leap (outside of the average of 3-8%) you need some real inertia in your approach to your career. That's why most of look for mentorship. Because we know mentorship can propel us forward.
BUT not all mentorship leads to growth.
In my latest episode, I break down the 4 types of “good” mentors who might be keeping you comfortable… but not helping you move forward.
Because good mentorship gives you motivation.Great mentorship gives you momentum.
You’ll learn what separates good mentorship from great mentorship — and how to recognize when it’s time to level up your support system.

You ever had a mentor you thought would change your career… and instead, you ended up stuck, second-guessing yourself, or realizing you outgrew their advice?
That’s exactly what I’m breaking down in this week’s podcast episode — 3 Times HR Mentorship Failed Me (and What I Did About It).
I’m sharing the moments I learned the hard way that:
Not all “expert” advice applies to your career goals
Your manager might not be the best mentor for your growth
One mentor is never enough
If you’ve ever wondered why mentorship hasn’t moved the needle for you, this one’s going to hit home.
🎧 Listen to the episode now — and then join me at the HR Mentorship Summit on Nov 10 to learn how to build the kind of mentorship relationships that actually grow your career (without the mistakes I made).
One of the fastest ways to stop getting ghosted?
Stop relying only on applications.
Applying should only be 25% of your job search strategy.
Another 25%? Building and expanding your network — intentionally.
That’s exactly what my client Baridilo did.
She went from being ghosted for nearly a year…
to landing a new HR role with a $15K salary increase while pivoting industries and HR roles.

Jessica was stuck wondering, “How can I pivot when my last role wasn’t even the one I want next?”
She knew she wanted to move into an industry that felt more exciting—something that blended her full range of interests. But the job descriptions were intimidating: they all asked for a certification she didn’t have.
To make things more complicated, she was also navigating a messy organizational change at work—full of uncertainty and internal interviews that went nowhere.
In this episode, you’ll hear how Jessica:
Landed interviews at 13 different companies across several industries
Built credibility without a certification
Moved past the fear of not having “the perfect background”
Positioned herself powerfully, even while things were crumbling at work
If you’ve ever felt boxed in by your resume or unsure how to pivot when nothing aligns perfectly—this episode is for you.

Join the HR Pivot Resume MasterclassPivot in 30 days like Shaneeta
Shaneeta is a mom of three—including a one-year-old—who was ready to stop putting herself on the back burner. After feeling like she bombed a past interview, she knew something had to change. She dreamed of a role that allowed her to take vacations and create new memories with her family.
She already had a polished resume and a standout LinkedIn profile—but interviews left her feeling disconnected, second-guessing herself, and wondering if she’d ever land a role in Learning & Development.
She already had resources like therapy, but we worked on the missing pieces and she landed a great high paying, remote, HR role as an individual contributor.
