Keisha Edwards

I've been a Career Services / Career Strategy and Interview Coach, plus Resume Writer, for more than 10 years, backed by an invaluable 15+ year background in media, PR & communications. I understand the guiding light of this noble work because I'm a career changer myself. I know the intricacies, emotions and practical concerns involved in shifting gears and possibly upending plans that once appeared set in stone. My expertise is in meeting people where they are - and helping them reach where they want to venture. I support recent grads, mid-level professionals, senior leaders and executives, including C-suite talent. While I effect change with people from all walks of life, I am especially attuned to the dynamics affecting parents, professionals of color, first-generation graduates, those with criminal justice involvement, individuals without a college degree, differently abled persons, "trailing spouses," and those over the age of 40. I have a heart for people who are navigating the 21st century workplace and job market. This is evident in the human-centered projects I've championed and supported, touching topics like employee engagement, succession planning, inclusion, career pathing, the future of work, work-life blend, wellness, recruitment and more.
