Career Counseling Projects in AccraCareer Counseling Projects in AccraProject: From Playing Small to Landing Big — Kemi’s Leap to Robinhood 🚀
When Kemi came to me, she’d been hearing the same advice over and over again —
"Start in support roles, work your way up, and maybe in a few years you’ll get there."
But the moment we spoke, I knew she was already there. She didn’t need to start small, but to be seen.
Together, we unpacked her story, reframed her experience, and rebuilt her professional narrative to spotlight her leadership, strategy, and decision-making skills. Instead of applying to roles beneath her potential, we crafted a brand and message that matched her ambition.
Within weeks, Kemi landed a Strategy Operations role at Robinhood, skipping the entry-level ladder completely.
We won, Kemi😍 Christopher’s Story: Redefining Success & Landing Roles at Notion and eBay 💼
When Christopher first came to me, he had what many people would call “the dream setup” — a great title, solid pay, and a shiny company name on his resume. But behind all that, he felt stuck. Unfulfilled. Like he was living someone else’s definition of success.
During our sessions, we stripped everything back from the noise, pressure, to checkboxes, and got to the heart of his story. I helped Christopher reconnect with his why, reframe his narrative, and position himself for opportunities that matched his version of success, not the world’s.
Once we aligned his story with his purpose, everything changed. Today, Christopher’s thriving in meaningful roles at Notion, doing work that excites him and fulfills him at the same time.
Proud of you, Chris💯 How Jamil Landed Offers at Deel, Airtable, and Amazon 🚀
Jamil initially thought his resume was just a list of tasks he'd done over the years.
Fast-forward a few sessions later, and that list of tasks had become a personal brand: one that told his story, reflected his value, and positioned him exactly where he belonged.
We rebuilt his narrative from the ground up by transforming bullet points into measurable impact, aligning his experience with the language recruiters love, and turning his LinkedIn into a magnet for opportunities.
Within a week of updating his profile, recruiters from top companies started sliding into his DMs and soon after, Jamil landed offers from Deel, Airtable, and even Amazon.
When you learn how to communicate your value, the right opportunities can’t help but find you💯. Freelance Chaos to Career Clarity, Naomi’s Leap 🌱
When Naomi first reached out, she was juggling multiple freelance gigs, feeling scattered, and unsure of where she truly fit. She had the talent, was sharp, creative, and full of heart but her story didn’t reflect that.
Together, we zoomed out, connected the dots, and rebuilt her narrative from a place of strategy and authenticity. We reframed her as a storyteller with strategic value. Someone who brings clarity, creativity, and leadership wherever she goes.
Fast forward a few months, and Naomi is now thriving in a full-time brand strategy role, landing opportunities at Salesforce and General Electric. ✨
This is proof that sometimes it’s not about reinventing yourself, but learning to see your journey through a new lens.
Naomi, I’m incredibly proud of how far you’ve come😊 From Stay-at-Home Mom to Tesla — Elena’s Story 🚀
When Elena first reached out, she described herself as just a stay-at-home mom trying to get back into the workforce. I stopped her right there. Because you can't undermine the beauty in raising a family, managing chaos, and still daring to dream bigger.
Elena had the experience, the emotional intelligence, and the grit, but what she didn’t have was a story that did her justice. So together, we rebuilt everything from scratch: her LinkedIn, and most importantly, her confidence.
And not long after, her phone started buzzing. First came Hospitable, then Flowhub, and finally, the OG in Tesla😂.
She didn’t have to chase opportunities. Once her story reflected her value, the right ones came looking for her.
Proud of you, Elena💫
https://www.joinleland.com/coach/alfred-d?review Hey Contra Fam 👋, I’m Alfred — but most people call me “The Career Storyteller.”
I currently work as a Senior Product Manager at Netflix, where I help build experiences that connect people to what they love most. Before Netflix, I worked at Instagram, Apple, and Coinbase, and across all those journeys, one thing stayed consistent — the power of storytelling.
Every opportunity I’ve landed came from knowing how to speak to what decision-makers really care about. And now, I bring those same strategies to my clients aiming for 6-figure careers by helping them position their skills, tell their story, attract recruiters effortlessly using their LinkedIn, and otherworldly career coaching.
When I’m not helping people rebrand their careers, I’m usually working on Scentacy, my fragrance passion project😊
I'm super excited to connect😍
