Sam Powell — Co-Founder
It’s 9AM on a Monday. You’re fully caffeinated and ready to get sh*t done — but one look at your calendar, and your energy drains faster than your coffee cup until you finally look around think, "How did I even get here?" If that’s you, hey 👋 I’m Sam — a career and leadership coach helping mid-career professionals navigate their next move without the overwhelm and finally feel in control of their career (maybe for the first time ever). Because if you’ve spent your career saying yes to every next opportunity that came your way… of course you’re stuck now. You’re overdue for a move that’s actually yours. At mid-career, the game changes. It’s not about doing more. It’s about leading better — and learning how to express that leadership so the market responds accordingly. ⭐ Here's the thing so many of us miss: When you have 13+ years of experience, people making decisions about your career aren’t just evaluating what you can DO — they’re evaluating how you think, prioritize, influence, and drive results. That shift shows up in how you frame impact. How you talk about decisions. How you position outcomes. How you show ownership. So whether you need a resume that lands interviews, a LinkedIn profile that gets found, a job search plan that actually works, or interview prep that doesn’t leave you guessing — I’m in your corner. Here’s how I help mid-career folks make their next move with confidence: 1. 🧭 Figure out what you actually want next 2. ✍️ Build a story-driven resume + brand that earns interviews 3. 🤝 Activate a modern job search + networking strategy that doesn’t feel random or awkward 4. 🎤 Prepare for interviews with confidence and your best stories ready 5. 🎯 Land the right next role — one that fits who you’ve become If you’re: ▪️ Pivoting careers ▪️ Escaping a toxic job ▪️ Stepping into leadership ▪️ Coming back from a layoff ▪️ Or choosing yourself for the first time… I’ll guide you through the steps, the strategy, and the mindset to navigate your next move — not just survive it. 🏆 Because legacy isn’t later. It’s built in how you lead yourself today. ______________________________________________________ 👑 WANT TO SHOW UP LIKE A LEADER IN YOUR CAREER? → Start with how you describe your work. → In 5 minutes you can reframe one story so you look like the leader you are. 👉 https://leadthegame.newzenler.com/f/the-5-minute-resume-bullet-fix ______________________________________________________ Let’s get you back in the game.
