your happiness first.

Then you're in the right place.
I was there, too.

Hey there! I’m Laura, the Right Fit Career Coach
I’m a former teacher turned Instructional Designer and Career Coach. When I decided to leave teaching I felt overwhelmed and alone. Now, I share what I’ve learned since making the decision to leave teaching with other teachers who want to transition to other careers.
Since leaving teaching, I’ve:
-
Negotiated a salary increase of 46%
-
Worked at a University and in corporate environments
-
Worked from home full-time
-
Interviewed with Amazon, Barnes and Noble, David’s Bridal, and more
-
Become a Certified Professional Resume Writer and Certified Digital Career Strategist
-
Coached 12 clients to successfully change careers (often with a pay raise!) within 3 months, on average.
Here's what people are saying:
I am finding the information not only useful, but affirming! It's nice to realize I have skills that are transferable to any number of careers...I’ve definitely grown more confident about my professional abilities, and how much of teaching is applicable to other careers!
CAITLIN L.
I have learned so much valuable information about what I want out of my career, resume tips, interview strategies, and how to successfully negotiate salary. From start to finish Laura was incredibly supportive and patient with any additional questions I had. Coming away from this program I have considerably more confidence in my qualifications and a plethora of resources to use that will give me an edge over other candidates.
JACKIE T.
Laura is efficient, quick to respond, thorough, and extremely kind. It's evident that she is passionate about her job, but also about helping others. She is extremely talented and knowledgeable about her field and was a great help in tailoring my resume to specific job opportunities.
I only wish I had worked with her sooner!

Frequently asked questions
Here are a few answers to the most common questions.
What if I already know what career I want to pursue?
That's great!
The modules in this course will not only help you identify your core values and what you want out of your career, but also it'll help you develop all of your job application materials and prepare for interviews.
Also, the weekly live coaching sessions are a great way for you to get even more help and support with your job search.
What if I have no idea what else I want to do?
That’s the very first thing covered in the course. We will go over how you can figure out what you're passionate about, what you enjoy doing, and what you value in your career so that you can find a career path that speaks to you and which companies share your values.
This is also why I'm including the awesome bonus of weekly live coaching sessions - if you're feeling stuck or having trouble figuring out what career path you want to pursue, we can figure it out together, in real time.
I also have a list of 89 Alternative Career Options for Teachers that can help give you ideas of what areas you'd want to consider.
What if I can't make the weekly live sessions?
You're highly encouraged to bring your questions to the weekly live sessions, but sometimes you might not be able to make it! No worries!
Each session will be recorded and shared via Slack afterwords.
AND you'll still have the opportunity to get feedback on all of your materials at any time via the community. I respond to all questions, comments, and requests for feedback within 24 hours.
Will I have to take a pay cut or go back to school to get a different degree?
Most of the time, you don't need an additional degree to transition into the career you want. Instead, you'll need to make sure you clearly convey the experience you have and how it applies to this position you're applying for.
However, there are other career paths that will require you to get additional education or possibly a degree, such as your Master's or PhD. But the good news is that you can usually land a position in that field so that you can get some experience while you work towards that degree. Most companies also offer ways to help you pay for that degree, while you're working for them.
With COVID, is now the time to make a job change with all the people out of work and getting laid off? What if I leave teaching and get laid off?
Did you know that about 500 companies have shared publicly that they're hiring right now? In fact, here's a list of 409 companies that are hiring right now.
While I can't speak to job security in the job market right now, I can say with certainty that the skills and strategies that I teach in my course will help you land another job quickly, should you suddenly be out of work.
AND when you're getting paid what you're worth, you'll be able to save more money, which will help tide you over until you land your next position.
What if I decide that I don't actually want to leave teaching?
It happens!
In addition to helping you land a job outside of education, all of the strategies I teach in this course can be used to help you land another teaching job.
Is there a guarantee?
While Laura cannot offer a money-back guarantee, many clients who have implemented the Classrooms to Career Clarity framework and leveraged all the feedback and resources available to them have gone on to accept offers for their dream jobs.
Results will depend on the effort you put into the training suite material, showing up to group calls prepared with questions, utilizing the bi-weekly mindset sessions to keep you on track, reaching out for feedback on materials and commitment to your personal and professional growth.
If there is ever a moment during the program that you feel stuck or discouraged, Laura is happy to discuss the challenges you're facing in your job search and help you figure out how to get back on track.
