If you need feedback on your portfolio, advice on preparing for a job application or interview, or perhaps help getting clarity on what your goals are for your career and the next step to take towards them: schedule a mentoring call. You’ll be surprised at just how deep we can dig together in a 30 minute 1 on 1 session!

Book a call

Here’s what people had
to say about our call

“My session with Charli was amazing. I was skeptical at first because it can be hard to go deep with only 30-mins, but I got a lot of value from our call. Charli provided me with actionable tips and strategies to improve my website content as well as my overall positioning. What I loved most about our session was that she asked clarifying questions to make sure she had all of the relevant information to provide the best possible answer for my unique situation.”

Marielle

“I loved my session with Charli! She helped me look at the problem objectively, provided direct and insightful feedback, and offered great suggestions for how to move forward.”

Greg

“I had a 30min chat with Charli about my YouTube channel and the advice and feedback alone will save my tons and tons of hours trial and error. Will definitely do more sessions in the future!”

Connor

“Before I met with Charli, I was feeling really unsure of myself and my career direction. And in just 30 minutes I had clarity and a plan! Charli is so easy to talk to, encouraging, and offers fantastic guidance. I 100% would still be waffling if it weren't for our mentorship session.”
