Corporate sustainability roles are being eliminated. Climate professionals are next. You've sent out dozens of applications - government contractors, multilaterals, climate tech companies. Maybe hundreds. Your inbox stays quiet. Recruiters reach out saying "I really like your profile" - then nothing. You don't see yourself reflected anymore. Your M&E experience, stakeholder management, data skills - they feel like they don't translate. I know this feeling. And I know the way out. I'm Megan. I help impact professionals navigate career transitions - from traditional development to climate tech, from corporate to mission-driven roles, or recovering from layoffs. After six years at Dalberg (Senegal, D.C.) and Kearney (Mexico), working across 10 countries with clients like USAID, Gates Foundation, and WRI, I learned: the professionals who land roles aren't the ones with the "perfect" background. They're the ones who position themselves strategically. Most people keep doing what isn't working: sending applications into the void, thinking "it's a numbers game." What actually works: Strategic positioning. Targeted networking. Applications that align with your values. You don't need 500 applications. You need strategic positioning for the right 20.

Everything above plus we execute together - mock interviews, application reviews, offer negotiation, ongoing accountability.
