What Happens In a Precision Intensive?
The Precision Intensive is a focused 90-minute session tailored to your unique results from the Pivot Precision Index™.
Here’s what we’ll do:
- Zoom in on the misalignments revealed in your PPI results
- Unpack key decisions, behaviors, or beliefs that may be holding you in place
- Identify where you’re ready for change — and what kind
- Map specific next steps that feel clear, personalized, and emotionally sustainable
You’ll leave with either a sharpened direction — or, if you’ve been spinning in ambiguity, a starting point that finally feels clear and actionable.
We can explore whatever challenge is most alive for you right now — from navigating workplace dynamics, to communication strategies, to tough decisions you’re turning over in your mind.
Is This for You?
If you’ve been quietly navigating career questions that don’t fit in a dropdown menu… this is for you.
This session is designed for high-functioning professionals who:
- Feel emotionally or intellectually misaligned with their current role, even if it “looks good on paper”
- Are constantly editing themselves at work — or not feeling seen for what they actually bring
- Have tried traditional career coaching and found it too simplistic or too “rah-rah”
- Know something needs to shift, but haven’t had the space (or language) to name what
- Want a clear, strategic conversation — not just a motivational pep talk
This isn’t “Rah-Rah You’ve Got This!” type of coaching.
That's toxic positivity — and you're smarter than that.
I do not offer mindset training or performance optimization. Instead, I lead a structured inquiry into where you’re out of alignment — emotionally, cognitively, and environmentally. My role is to help you examine patterns you’ve internalized, environments you’ve adapted to, and assumptions you’ve been operating under without realizing it. Some sessions are strategic: focused on decisions, pivots, or communication. Others are diagnostic: identifying the root of why something feels off or stuck.
Most coaches tend to stay within a single dimension — mindset, somatics, career strategy. I don’t. I track multiple dimensions at once: what you’re saying, how you’re feeling, what your body is signaling, and which systems or relationships are reinforcing the issue. This is why the work can move quickly — because we’re not isolating one piece of the puzzle. We’re working with the full context.
Unlike coaches loyal to organizational goals or trending frameworks, my allegiance is always to the individual.
I don’t nudge clients toward assimilation, compliance, or “best practices.” I help them recognize what’s true for them and what’s no longer tolerable—so they can move forward with bold clarity and without self-betrayal.
Often, clients feel a shift within the first session — not because anything is rushed, but because someone is finally asking the right questions in the right dimension.
Whether you’re facing a small pivot (a role change, a communication reset, a difficult conversation) or a big one (a reinvention, an exit, a redefinition of success), we’ll work at the level where your internal alignment meets external change — so your next move doesn’t cost you your integrity. The goal isn’t just to advance—it’s to do so without erasing yourself.
You do not need to redact yourself to be legible.

These reflections didn’t come from hype — or from clients trying to impress anyone.
They came from women who were finally asked the right questions—by someone who wasn’t trying to optimize them for a system.
