Career Coaching for Ambitious Women in Marketing, PR and Digital

(who refuse to become invisible)

Exhausted, undervalued, overlooked, and questioning your career worth?

You’ve spent decades building marketing and PR expertise, creating visibility for countless brands — now you feel unseen.
You’ve earned your seat at the table, but suddenly the chairs are full of younger, cheaper, more “digital” faces. The grind never ends, the roles don’t excite you, and the silence after job applications is deafening.

Sound familiar? You’re NOT alone.

You’re not progressing despite your track record. Applications disappear into digital black holes. When you do get interviews, the nerves take over. The same industry you helped build now seems designed for someone half your age.

Your mind races…

Should you settle for less?
Pivot completely?
The options feel overwhelming when you’re already juggling everything else.

Here’s the truth:

Waiting it out or trying to figure it out alone isn’t free.

Career coaching isn’t just helpful — it’s transformative.

Don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what some of my clients say:

“I was stuck in a cycle of rejection and self-doubt. Working with Padma completely shifted how I saw myself and my value. Within 8 weeks, I had three job offers and chose the role that was perfect for me — better salary, better culture, better everything.”

“After redundancy at 45, I thought my career was over. Padma showed me how to reposition my experience as an asset. I’m now earning 30% more in a role I absolutely love.”

“Padma didn’t just help me find a job — she helped me reclaim my professional identity. I went from feeling invisible to being headhunted again. The confidence she gave me was life-changing.”

Why I get it — And the real cost of waiting.

I’m Padma—a former marketing & PR recruiter turned career coach with 20+ years of experience helping senior women step into roles that truly reflect their value.

I know what you’re up against—being passed over for jobs you nailed, being seen as too “expensive” or “not tech-savvy enough,” and navigating systems that don’t understand depth or experience.

If you try to go this alone, it’s costing you more than you think:

  • Missed income and promotions, no one gets promoted when they’re miserable.
  • Confidence slipping with each silent application.
  • Stalled momentum, while the job market keeps moving ahead.
  • Tensions creeping into your home life, as uncertainty and pressure take their toll.
