High Impact Day

Master Interviewing and Know Your Worth

Don't let another opportunity slip away! When you have an interview quickly approaching and need support now, a high impact day is a great option.

Get ready for a virtual 1:1 high impact day designed to equip you with essential tools and proven strategies to ace your interviews and effectively showcase your career achievements.

Helping You Stand Out In a Crowded Sea of Talent

We’ll help you recognize the true value of your skills to employers, so you can present yourself with pride and conviction in any professional setting. Together, we'll transform self-doubt into self-assurance, enabling you to navigate your career with newfound confidence.

Boost Confidence

We think of interviewing as an opportunity to tell your story. We’ll help you identify key moments in your career where you excelled and made a significant impact, and help you to craft these experiences into compelling narratives.

Shape Your Story

We’ll share our proven interview framework that focuses on articulating how your past actions have positively influenced business outcomes. Showcasing the impact of your past contributions is crucial for demonstrating "what's in it for them”.

Proven Framework

We’ll conduct a mock interviewing session designed to help you practice and refine your interview skills in a supportive environment. We’ll guide you on what to say (and what not to) so you can be a winning candidate.

  • Landed Her Dream Job After 3 Attempts of Interviewing With the Same Company

    - Layla

  • Built Confidence and Preparedness for Multiple Rounds of Interviews

    "I knew I had the experience needed for the roles I was applying to, but needed a plan to structure my responses for multiple rounds of interviews. With Carrie's coaching, I was able to identify my most relevant examples and build my confidence. I am so glad I worked with her!"

    - Sarah

  • Successfully Negotiated a 30% Pay Increase

    "I was at complete burnout at my previous job. If I hadn’t worked with Carrie specifically on compensation negotiations for my new role, I would have missed out on so much money. I couldn’t have done it without her."

    - Elaine

  • Shows up Authentically and Communicates Business Impact

    “After a long search, I had done tons of interviews, but wasn’t getting past the last round. Carrie helped me approach it differently so that I felt more prepared, and built confidence to show up as my true self and talk about my work.”

    - Sam

  • Negotiated Her New Job Offer Salary and Landed the Job

    "After nine months of not working and interviewing, I was about to take the initial job offer. I had never negotiated pay before. Carrie encouraged me to share what I brought to the table and advocate for more. We prepped for the discussions, I made my ask and I got the offer I asked for! I would have just accepted a lower offer, leaving money on the table. I'm so glad I asked! Thank you for your help!"

    - Casey

  • Pivoted Into a More Fulfilling Role

    "I was working a full time job with a busy family, and couldn't even think about making a much-needed job move.

Working with her made a huge difference versus doing it by myself."

    - Lena

  • Negotiated Her Salary For the First Time and Got Her Desired Pay Increase

    "I had never negotiated salary before and didn't even know where to start. I worked with Carrie and we made a plan, and ran through scenarios. She helped me prepare and better understand my range so that I could go into these discussions confidently knowing my impact proposition. I got the compensation I asked for! I couldn't have done it without her preparation and guidance!"

    - Annie

  • Gained Clarity on Her Life and Career Goals and Took Aligned Action

    "I have benefitted so much from the self-reflective work that uncovered how I was approaching my life and career. Working with Carrie on getting to my why and taking action was a game-changer.
