Helping mid‑career professionals realign their careers with renewed purpose, confidence, and authentic leadership
Through The R.A.W. Method™
Hi, I'm Irene,
Welcome to my coaching, a space where you reconnect with yourself and realign your career with renewed purpose, confidence, and authentic leadership.
Whether you are tired of operating on autopilot, dreading Mondays, outgrowing your role, no longer feeling the fulfillment your career once gave you, stuck between staying and leaving, craving change but held back by fear, navigating a layoff, unsure of what you want, disconnected from your inner voice, or simply burned out, you are in the right place, and I am so glad you are here.
Using my R.A.W. Method™, you will move forward not through pressure or force, but through clarity and a deeper understanding of yourself. Together, we will explore what no longer fits, reconnect with your values, and uncover what you truly want. Through this process, you will come into alignment with your inner leadership identity, evolving and transforming your outer leadership as you walk forward with authenticity, confidence, and renewed purpose.
This work is not surface‑level. It is identity‑level, with transformative results.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you step into a renewed, intentional, and authentic leadership.
With appreciation,
Irene
Align Your Career With Your Evolving Identity
THE R.A.W. METHOD™
Realignment is the moment you stop moving through your career on autopilot and begin leading with intention. When you realign with who you are now, not who you used to be, not the identity shaped by past chapters, your clarity returns, your purpose renews, and your confidence becomes grounded and authentic.
Inner clarity is the understanding that comes from reconnecting with your inner being, the truest, most grounded version of yourself.
My R.A.W. Method™ is a clear, identity‑level framework that helps mid‑career professionals realign or reinvent their careers without staying stuck in soul‑draining roles or second‑guessing their next move.
My R.A.W. Method™ guides you through three transformative shifts: reconnecting with your values, self‑trust, and emotional intelligence; aligning your career with who you truly are and what you want now, not who you have been or expected to be; and walking forward with strategic action, clarity, confidence, and authentic leadership presence.

MY STORY
I am a mom, an entrepreneur, and a Certified Leadership Coach. I work with mid-career professionals who are burned out, stuck, or disconnected from their careers, and realigning their inner and outer leadership with renewed purpose, confidence, and authentic leadership through my R.A.W. Method™.
Before becoming an entrepreneur, I spent over 25 years in legal and client relations, navigating high-stakes environments that required calm leadership, sound judgment, and the ability to manage complex interpersonal dynamics and competing priorities under pressure. Those years strengthened my leadership skills.

Certified Leadership Coach
After years of pushing through, I eventually reached burnout. My mind and body were depleted, and I needed time and space to recover, to heal, to breathe. As I slowly began to feel mentally and physically better, I entered a painful but necessary journey of self‑discovery. Who was I at my core outside of being a legal professional? I walked a difficult but essential path to gain clarity, reconnect with myself, offer the compassion I had long withheld, and redefine my authentic identity.
Fear and doubt were constant companions, yet I kept moving forward, determined to come back into alignment with my true self. I launched my first coaching niche in wellness, partnering with a local clinic to support patients navigating their own challenges. At the time, wellness was the only path that made sense, my burnout symptoms were still significant, and although I was improving, I knew I was not fully myself yet.
As I continued to heal, I knew I could not return to the legal profession. I had been out of alignment for years, and what once served me no longer did. Reinvention was not optional, it was necessary. Transitioning into coaching was not just a change in direction; it was a long‑overdue return to alignment with my true self. Reinventing myself was not easy, but it was worth it. Stepping into work that reflects my values, vision, and authentic leadership has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.
This lived experience of burnout, healing, realignment, and reinvention fuels my passion for partnering with mid‑career professionals who are walking the same path I once did, feeling stuck, disconnected, burned out, and pulled toward something more authentic to who they are.
As my clarity deepened, I realized that the leadership experience I gained throughout my lengthy legal career combined with my own reinvention journey, naturally guided me to evolve my work beyond wellness into the leadership and career alignment coaching I offer today.
At the heart of my coaching is my R.A.W. Method™, helping mid‑career professionals reconnect with their values and desires, align their careers, and walk forward into confident, authentic leadership. My work is grounded in realignment, clarity, and identity‑level transformation, supporting clients as they step into leadership that feels true to who they are.
Alongside my private practice, I am also a coach with BetterUp, the largest global coaching platform, supporting professionals and leaders across diverse industries and cultures through company-sponsored professional development leadership programs. In this work, I partner with Fortune 500 companies and global organizations across tech, healthcare, energy, aviation, and more.
