Bridging the Gap Between Candidates and Hiring Teams

For over two decades, I have been at the center of hiring decisions, working closely with executives to shape teams and identify what truly distinguishes a candidate. I have been in the rooms where careers were decided, reviewed thousands of resumes, and witnessed the defining moments that make the hiring team remember you.

They don’t remember skills; they remember your story.

I know precisely why some candidates move forward while others fall short. More importantly, I understand the hidden factors influencing hiring decisions, the unspoken priorities, the subtle cues, and the behind-the-scenes discussions. I use that insider knowledge to help my clients stand out and position themselves as the top choice at every stage.

Why I Started Career Coaching with Mia

Throughout my career in talent acquisition, I have seen brilliant professionals being overlooked—not because they lacked experience, but because they couldn’t clearly articulate the value behind that experience.

I watched talented, capable people walk into interviews unsure of how to tell their story or advocate for their worth. Their resumes were acceptable, and their presence was professional. But their message? It didn’t land.

So I made a shift.

I stepped away from a rewarding corporate path to launch Career Coaching with Mia (CCWM)—a space where smart, mission-driven professionals could access the same insider insight companies use to make hiring decisions.

Now, I help people like you close the gap between what you’ve done and how it's perceived by crafting a straightforward, compelling narrative that resonates with the people sitting across the table.

What struck me most over the years wasn’t just the hiring mechanics, but how many talented professionals struggled to tell their stories. I saw brilliant, capable individuals being passed over, not because they lacked skills but because they weren’t positioned effectively. Their experience was strong, but their story lacked compelling elements.

That was when I decided to step away from a rewarding career in talent acquisition and launch Career Coaching with Mia (CCWM) to follow my passion and shed light on the hiring process.

This work is personal to me because I’ve seen how powerful the right message can be. Whether you're navigating change, building your leadership brand, or preparing for what’s next, I’m here to help you do it with clarity, confidence, and presence.

“You don’t need to be louder—you just need to be clearer.”
