Becca Carnahan

Career coach | Speaker | Author

Welcome! I am Becca Carnahan, Career Clarity Coach and mom of two. I specialize in helping mid-career parents land fulfilling jobs they love without giving up the flexibility they need.

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 your dream job. (It’s out there – I see it happen daily and it’s the best part of my job.)

As a coach, I lead with expertise gained over a 15-year career in career and professional development at Harvard Business School, empathy so you feel truly seen and heard, and enthusiasm to make this process fun.

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!
