Elizabeth Ruscitto
Career pivot and Executive Coach
I help senior professionals pivot the career they've already built. With the language to articulate their full value, a regulated nervous system to make it possible, and a financial plan to make it safe.
Twenty years inside Silicon Valley tech leadership taught me what most career coaching misses. The reason senior leaders stay in roles they've outgrown is that they're operating from a depleted nervous system, can't translate decades of impact into language that gets paid for, and don't have the financial floor that makes the next move feel safe.
I help senior professionals fix all three.
500+ clients have moved through some version of this work. Most leave with a clearer next move, a stronger negotiating position, and the financial clarity to act on both.
FREE: Stay or Go Assessment
How Much Is Your Job Actually Costing You?
A 20-minute assessment that runs the numbers on what staying is really costing you. Not the salary you're earning, the total cost across compensation trajectory, missed opportunities, health, and time.
You'll come away knowing whether the math of staying still works, the specific reason you've been telling yourself it's not so bad, and what to do next.
20 minutes. With real, honest answers about your next decision.
FREE: How to Tell Your Career Story
Name What You've Actually Built
The free workbook that closes the gap between what you've built and what you can name in language hiring managers, boards, and clients actually pay for.
Using a proven framework, you'll translate your real career impact into language that lands in interviews, negotiations, and high-stakes conversations.
Most senior professionals finish it and see their own value clearly for the first time in years.
Design Your Life: Workbook
+ AI Companion
The DIY Version of The Strategic Pivot Method
The same frameworks I use with 1:1 coaching clients, packaged as a guided workbook with an AI companion that walks you through them on your own time.
You'll uncover what energizes you and what to walk toward. Translate decades of impact into language that gets you paid for it. Run the math on what staying is actually costing you. And map your next move with the regulation, clarity, and financial floor underneath.
For senior professionals who want the structure without the 1:1 container, or who want to start the work before booking a discovery call.
Included free for The Strategic Pivot Method clients. Available stand-alone for everyone else.
Price: $297
90-Minute Career Breakthrough Intensive
One Session. One Decision Clearer.
You've built the career you were supposed to want. Something still feels off. In 90 minutes, we'll uncover what's keeping you stuck and map one specific decision or strategic next step you can act on this week.
For senior professionals not yet ready for the full Strategic Pivot Method, but who need a single decisive conversation to break the loop.
Session Fee: $499
Not Sure Which Is Right for You?
Most senior professionals don't arrive knowing which version of this work fits them. A discovery call is the conversation where we figure that out together.
Thirty minutes. No pitch, no pressure. We'll talk about where you are, what's actually in the way, and which option makes sense given your timeline, your situation, and the move you're actually trying to make.
If nothing fits, I'll tell you. If something fits, we'll talk about how to start.
The Strategic Pivot Method
Own Your Authority. Get Paid Your Worth.
The 4-month 1:1 partnership for senior professionals who've outgrown the role and are ready to translate what they've built, regulate the move, and plan the finances to make it safe.
Built on four pillars: nervous system regulation, strategic career and business mapping, Financial Freedom Planning, and decision frameworks built for you. Whether the next move is a corporate pivot, a founder pivot, or a parallel build, the work is the same.
Average client income increase: $14K to $50K+ in year one. Some see $50K to $100K+ shifts. The compounding return is the rest of your career.
For the Founder Pivot
The deeper work for senior professionals who've decided the next chapter is building something of their own. Business model, revenue strategy, operational scaling, and the leadership-to-founder transition that most exits skip.
Many clients graduate into Business Advising from The Strategic Pivot Method once the founder pivot is the confirmed direction. Some come directly because the decision is already made and the work is execution.
