Intentionally Design Your Next
Career or Business Chapter
For the leaders who are at a crossroads
personally and professionally
You've Done Everything "Right"
and you're still not sure what's next
You've built the career with an impressive title, compensation, a busy team, with a calendar full of people who always need something from you.
And privately, you're not sure you can do another year of it.
You're seen as the go-to leader, who gets things done.
Yet, you're increasingly frustrated at how you're treated in between the wins.You
You want to be valued and seen as the strategic leader you already are
but you keep hitting a ceiling internally.
You wake up most days feeling overlooked and unfulfilled
You know something needs to change, but you're not sure if:
- You can fix things where you are now to grow your career
- If you'd be better off pivoting elsewhere
- Or starting something of your own
That's where our work together starts.
Three Potential Pivot Paths
The Corporate Pivot
Where you are now: You're successful but feel overlooked + unfulfilled and not seeing the career growth you want.
In one year: Getting paid your worth, in a career that energizes you, and allows you to have a life outside of it.
The Founder Pivot
Where you are now: you've climbed the ladder and found success but you're paying for it everywhere else in your life.
In one year: you could be making up your corporate salary and be present in your life without your mind always on work.
The Parallel Pivot
Where you are: You can’t stay where you are, but you can’t afford to leave either.
In one year: Your salary is funding a successful business that grew along side your job, and now is financially stable enough to become a full-time entrepreneur.
What Becomes Possible
Our work integrates nervous system regulation with strategic career mapping, so you stop trying to think your way out of a depleted state and start making decisions from a regulated one, which gives your more confidence, energy and capacity.
On the other side of this work, my clients start:
Negotiating confidently because they're regulated instead of accepting the first number
Leaving work at work: no more Slack at 11pm, no more email once the laptop closes
Easily take two weeks off to help family or a spontaneous trip, without guilt and without the laptop
The raises are real and clients tell me the biggest impact was the regulated confidence they got to keep.
I've Been Where You Are
I'm Elizabeth Ruscitto, a former tech leader turned Executive and Career Pivot coach.
I started in tech at 22, making $25K. Eight years later, I was at $300K+ as a Global Director. I'd built a very specialized career. When I started thinking about leaving, I was terrified my experience wouldn't translate, and that I had painted myself into a corner and would'n't ever be able to make as much if I tried something different.
So I did what I now help my clients do. I regulated first. Then I got specific and learned to talk about my work in terms of influence and impact. The thing I was most afraid I'd lose, the depth of my niche career, turned out to be my biggest asset.
Now I run two companies, volunteer, and have slow mornings. I have time freedom, boundaries people actually respect, and can take time off to help my family and friends without worrying about the work piling up.
Inside the Work
Calm the Chaos
We settle the dysregulation first, because you can't think your way out of a depleted state. Capacity is what makes every other phase possible.
Rewire Safety+ Financial Freedom
Practical roadmaps that align with your values, energy, & the shape of your life. The translation work that turns decades of impact into language that gets you paid.
Get Paid Your Worth
My Get Paid RIIO framework plus the mindset work that creates grounded confidence, so you can name what changed because you were in the room and negotiate from a regulated place.
Own Your Authority
Your expertise, and experience becomes sought-after through authority building strategies, a LinkedIn profile and networking visibility plan that feels empowering and safe rather than anxiety-filled.
Start With The Value of Your Experience
If translating your experience outside your company feels impossible, and the story of what you've built feels inconsequential start with the free Career Story Audit.
Most people can say what they did. Almost nobody can say what changed because they were in the room, and that is the reason you're underpaid for your insights and experience.
Your next chapter requires a better roadmap,
one that creates sustainable success - success that doesn't come at the
cost of your mental health, relationships, or long-term fulfillment.
