Feel stuck in a career that doesn’t light you up...
but not sure exactly what you want next?
You're in the right place.
We see you: you're talented but under-fulfilled, and secretly (or not so secretly) not 100% engaged in your work right now. To your boss and colleagues, you’re still doing a great job, but you feel like you’re leaving potential on the table. You've outgrown your current position, and are craving the next challenge, and have started to worry that it might not be at this company... or in this field.
You recognize you’re not as happy as you want to be… but you feel like you *should* try to suck it up and just be grateful for what you have. (Except sucking it up and gritting your teeth isn't working anymore.)
You feel like your professional confidence has been shaken up, and you want to get your energy and momentum back just as much as you want to find your next growth opportunity.
You're looking for both short- and long-term solutions: immediate triage (because you’re unhappy right now and want to fix it) and a visionary big-picture strategic plan to build a career and legacy that bring more fulfillment to your life.
And you definitely want to manage risk well. You want an iterative approach with baby steps to help you make a radical change in the safest way possible.

If so, you might be ready for the private 1-on-1 Clarity coaching program.

“It amazes me how Lisa is able to combine big thinking creativity with practical problem solving to help people navigate complex career questions and crossroads. It’s easy to find one or the other but rare to find a coach like Lisa that integrates both the meaningful and the practical, seamlessly. She’s super sharp and will challenge you to bring forth your full potential while being genuinely warm and supportive as you take each step forward – no matter how big or how small.”
How does One-on-One Clarity Coaching Work?
We invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into undergraduate and graduate education thinking it will help us have a great career. Not only does college fail to equip you with the tools you need to succeed in the working world, they don't teach you the strategic framework to create your own fulfilling career trajectory, either. It's time you finally learned the proven method to keep from feeling like you're becoming Goldilocks and bouncing from one "not quite right" opportunity to the next for the next 20-30 years:
The Career Clarity methodology has three core phases we’ll walk you through in an individualized and custom way, depending on where you personally need to start:
In Phase 1, we re-calibrate your internal GPS so you'll be able to figure out where you want to go and what you want to do — instead of what other people want you to do.
We thoroughly map out your personal 4 Pillars of Career Satisfaction, and determine your unique needs (and wants). We use that information to create your Ideal Career Scorecard to grade and assess future opportunities. Then, we’ll talk about creating a compelling, juicy career vision and getting creative to use what’s working for you to map out hypotheses of what could be next.
That’s where we pivot to Phase 2. Once you have some strong ideas about what would feel like an amazing fit for your life, you’ll put on your scientist hat and run some small-scale career experiments to validate that concepts that seem great in theory feel great in reality.
Taking your new career idea for a Test Drive is the most important part of our entire process and yes, it does require effort. This phase is about creating strategic experiments that remove the scariness and risk from your career leap so that you will actually take action.
Once you find a direction you’re excited about, you’ll enter Phase 3. This is when we go all-in and all-out to help you land the next opportunity. We take everything you know about yourself and make sure that on paper (and in person), you look like the dream candidate for the job you want -- or, if you double down on entrepreneurship, we help you start telling your brand story and craft compelling and persuasive marketing messages about your work.
We’ll rework your professional branding and positioning so you’re telling your Soul Story in your resume, LinkedIn, and cover letters (or on the website for your new company). We also talk through interview and negotiation strategy, so by the time you’re talking to future employers or clients, you’re priming them to view you as a high-value hire so you’ll get opportunities that make you do a happy dance.

What’s our background?
Hi there! I’m Career Clarity founder Lisa Lewis Miller, and if there’s a job out there, I’ve probably done it. In the first decade of my career, I got opportunities to work for some of the world’s most coveted, sexy brands. I figured out the rules to the game to get interviews and offers from amazing companies, like:
- At Seventeen Magazine, I was playing with makeup all day and pitching stories to editors.
- At CBS Sports, I assisted with production for live sports broadcasts during March Madness.
- At Teen Vogue, I researched and reported articles about the fashion industry to publish daily on their website.
- At 2U, I ran multi-million dollar digital marketing to recruit students into online graduate programs.
Each of these experiences taught me how to reverse-engineer the formula to find roles that you'll LOVE -- which is the foundation of the Career Clarity methodology that I've taught to the incredible coaches on the Career Clarity team, as well as to almost 600 clients in the last 5 years.
The ability to dream up a career that’s unapologetically you — and go get it — is available to you right now. And, all the tactics I used to get interviews and jobs with these amazing companies are things we will teach you to do, too.

“Working with Lisa was one of the best career investments I have ever made. Prior to our work together, I felt as though I was being pulled in a million directions without a clue of the direction I actually wanted to forge for myself. Lisa helped me clarify the things I was looking for in work and life, identify my “north stars” and values that truly mattered to me, and prepare to launch into a new, amazing career in a field I am truly excited about! Throughout the process, Lisa’s relentless optimism and encouragement helped me lean into my strengths rather than focus on weaknesses. In addition, Lisa’s guidance helped me overcome my fears, stay accountable to my personal and professional growth, and ultimately find a career that aligns my passions, strengths, lifestyle, and goals. I would 100% recommend working with Lisa!”
When was the last time you invested in creating a
happier, more aligned career path?
For people who care about top performance and making an impact with their lives, you probably seek out help to make the gains and progress you want: therapists, chiropractors, yoga teachers, personal trainers, physical therapists, pastors, nutritionists, and more. In areas of your life that are crucial to your mental and emotional well-being, you make sure you've got the best tools and resources to live your happiest and healthiest life.
Yet in our careers, where we spend more waking hours each day than we spend with our friends or loved ones, we’re told that we should “figure it out by myself.” When you take on this mindset, you are far more likely to stay in a job or career path that isn’t serving you for months — or years — passed the expiration date. How long can you afford to wait on making a change? Chronic career frustration is often a sign you’re de-prioritizing your own happiness. It’s time you reclaim it.
We know we’re not the cheapest coaching program on the block. That’s on purpose. Over the past 5 years we’ve worked hard to create an incredible, step-by-step career transition framework that's better than any we've ever seen (and between the 6 of us, we've gotten training in a LOT of other people's modalities. We know where the blind spots and gaps are in their programs.) We've gone through intensive coaching and career development strategy training to ensure our clients are having deep breakthroughs about what they want…and then lovingly kicking their butts towards the results they’re craving. And we are SUPER proud of the results our clients consistently get.
We want you to get offers and opportunities, not just good feels, so we’ll work together to keep you moving towards clarity and commitment on the direction that lights you up again. What's it worth to you to have a brand new work opportunity that you love -- AND learn a new framework you can use to navigate any career challenge that comes your way for the rest of your life? (Not to mention being better equipped to help counsel and support your peers and direct reports through any of their own career crises?)
SUCCESS STORIES
What People Are Saying
Kevin, austin, tx
management consultant
“From working with Lisa, I was blessed to:
- Find a culture that fostered what I wanted – a ‘freedom to fail’ attitude, innovation, and revolutionary – at an exciting start-up.
- Receive a 45% raise from the salary I made at my old company.
- Find myself on the most optimal team size for me – 2-3 people.
- Find myself at a company supporting completely flexible work schedules.
- Find myself at a company with domestic and international travel opportunities.
Personally speaking, I am much more engaged and thorough with the work I am doing. As Lisa said, a happier you is a more productive you. I can’t thank Lisa enough for learning to understand who I am, and helping me map what my ideal legacy would look like.”
CJ, london, UK
Product Manager
When I met Lisa, I was looking through job posts as I found my work environment unsatisfying. I didn’t know what to apply to or which area I wanted.
The first thing Lisa did was help me get clarity. Suddenly I knew why certain words leapt out in a posting, and what environment I wanted. Right away, I could rule out 80% of those posts I had been saving. I felt focused and after researching more into the job posts, I revised my CV to showcase the skills they were looking for – which got me into interviews and then a brand new role – in a team that suits me to a tee.
I got more out of it than just a new job. Lisa helped me see where I was unnecessarily doubting myself and how opportunities outside of my 9-5 were drawing on the skills I loved using. I have a bolder vision going forward for how I can blend these skills with my side interests rather than telling myself I have to choose.
ROSS, LOS GATOS, CA
Professional Speaker
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for me this past year. The way you believed in me, helping to fuel my dreams, and always challenging me to take concrete steps to see them become a reality was a game changer.
I want you to know why you’ve had such a significant impact on my life…
One year ago when we crossed paths I didn’t know what was next for me at Apple and my future felt uncertain because I felt stuck and I had no clue what next looked like. Until I mustered the courage to mention my dream to you of becoming a professional speaker — wanting to be one of the best at motivating, encouraging, and bringing hope to others! It was your immediate belief and enthusiasm for this dream that made me take the possibility seriously for the first time. It might have forever changed my life.
Our time together where you would listen to me share, unpack my thoughts, learn from my experiences, and help me to identify next steps was invaluable.
Whether you realized it or not you were a big help protecting and building up my self esteem weekly through your encouragement and your unwavering belief in me.
Each session was like an adrenaline shot of motivation and fuel for me to keep going!
Our sessions were a sanctuary of time for me to reflect and learn more about myself all the while quickly expediting my personal & professional growth, self awareness, and ultimately the direction of my life in ways I could have never imagined!
Your recap notes that you send out after each conversation are a HUGE gift as I’m able to look back on these and remember the incredible breakthrough’s we had together. You can bet I’ll be referencing those often to provide myself helpful direction and needed reflection as I move forward.
I’m more clear today around who I am, what my unique God given talents are, and the specific ways I feel called to add value to our world and people around me because of you so THANK YOU.”
Questions and Answers
You've got questions, we've got answers.
Q: What happens after I fill out my application?
A: We want to make sure we’re a great fit working together, so you’ll achieve the results you want. We only work with clients where it is a "Hell Yes" decision on both sides! So, after you submit your online application form, we’ll schedule 45(ish) minutes to talk where we’ll ask you tons of questions about yourself and your biggest challenges to see what would help you most powerfully. If we’d be an amazing fit working together, we’ll talk about how to you started on your transformation journey in the program as soon as possible.
And if it’s not a good fit, that’s fine, too. We want you to trust that you’ll get great results working with me, and if we think you’re a better fit with a different solution, we’ll tell you. There’s no BS here.
Q: What if I’ve never invested into coaching or career development before?
A: We hear you — taking the plunge the first time can be scary! But remember: you’ve probably spent plenty of money on developing yourself in other ways without blinking: investing in an undergraduate or graduate degree, purchasing a new laptop or iPad, or buying a beautiful blazer. But when was the last time you invested directly into strategies to create your own career happiness? (Resume writers can charge $5,000+ for a resume alone, without even asking if you’re pursuing the right kind of work!) We offer twelve 1-on-1 coaching conversations because it’s the best way to get individualized feedback and accountability to move directly towards work happiness (instead of career purgatory). Having your work be out of alignment with who you are has consequences: pain, frustration, despair, annoyance, irritation, distress. And these consequences spill over into the rest of your life, affecting your health, your relationships and your finances. So if you’re trying to quantify what a fulfilling career is worth to you, the better question might be: how long am I willing to keep being unhappy, stressed, and knowingly working in a job that doesn’t serve me?
Q: How long will it take me to find a career I love?
A: While we cover a huge amount of ground together in the six months of the private coaching program, your mileage may vary in how quickly you can make a transition. Some coaching clients discover that they want to head back to school to get an advanced degree, while others discover that they need to get more specific experience to be able to make the transition they’re craving, and others can make their career pivot almost instantaneously once they get super clear on what it is. In the time we’ll work together, you’ll have all the tools you need to not just get this job, but navigate this same kind of career question in the future. Individuals like you who crave learning and growth outgrow their jobs faster than your average employee, so my philosophy to serve my clients best is to teach you to fish.

She is a generous listener with a knack for quickly getting to the root of things, all while helping making tremendous progress on the practical, tactical strategy side of planning next steps too. Lisa is thoughtful, kind, whip-smart, intuitive, and insightful—the perfect ingredients for a powerful coach! I can’t recommend working with her highly enough if you’re lucky enough to have the chance.”
