If this resonates with you, you're in the right place.
I'm Hojeong Kim, PhD, CPC, ACC. I help accomplished professionals who are doing well on the outside, but feel ready for something more.
Whether it's a bigger scope, a new direction, or work that finally feels aligned, I help you unlock what's next with clarity, courage and support.
Too many brilliant professionals get stuck in roles they’ve outgrown. You’re great at what you do, people respect you, praise your work, and rely on you. But deep down, you want more. You crave a bigger role, a new challenge, a chance to lead in a new way.
Still, it feels risky to leave what’s comfortable. You wonder, What if I’m not good enough for that next step? You hope someone will notice your potential and open the door, but they don’t. And that silence starts to feel like confirmation that maybe you’re not ready.
I’ve seen this play out again and again, with my clients, and in my own journey.
My clients are successful, but often overwhelmed, giving so much to others, they've left no room to pursue what they really want. And the longer they wait, the harder it feels to take that leap.
I help them get clear on what really matters, so they can focus on fewer things that create more impact. They learn to say no to what’s not aligned, and in doing so, they gain the energy and space to finally make the moves they’ve been putting off. We quiet the inner voices that hold them back, and build the clarity, courage and support they need to move forward.
Within six months, my clients have done things they’d been delaying for years:
Launched a dream side business while keeping their tech job
Received job offers with higher titles than they applied for
Landed roles that didn’t exist before but were created for them
Protected their evenings with family while having more impact at work
They didn’t need to push harder. They needed clarity, courage, and support.
And so do you.
