Becca Carnahan

Career coach | Speaker | Author

Welcome! I am Becca Carnahan, Career Clarity Coach and mom of two. As the founder of Next Chapter Careers, I specialize in helping mid-career parents like you create careers and lives they love.

Career and life don’t exist in separate boxes – as a fellow parent, I get that! That’s why my coaching process is all about helping clients think about life and career holistically so we can find your career clarity and build a strategy to land or create a job you love that fits your life.

As a career and professional development coach, I’m a compassionate, curious, and creative connector of career dots! I want to know your story and help you write the next chapter. I’ve been doing this work for over 15 years, both at Harvard Business School and with Next Chapter Careers. Working with YOU is what lights me up!

Your time is too precious to spend another minute walking down a career path that doesn’t fit your life and light you up. Let’s make a plan to carve a new path together!
