Career Crossroads Clarified

1:1 Coaching for senior marketing, PR, and digital professionals

From confusion to clarity, from invisible to indispensable. Design your next career move with confidence.

Feeling stuck at your career crossroads?

You know you need to make a move, but you’re not sure which direction to take. The path that once seemed clear now feels overwhelming with possibilities, or worse, blocked entirely.

You’ve applied for roles you could do brilliantly, but never hear back. Your decades of experience seem to work against you rather than for you. Self-doubt arrives daily.

This isn’t generic career coaching. This is strategic, personalized guidance designed specifically for senior marketing and PR professionals who refuse to settle for less than they’ve earned.

You dictate the direction. I provide the roadmap.

Whether you’re planning a career change, ready for the next step up, or questioning if your current path still aligns with your values, I’ll create a personalised coaching plan that fits exactly where you are and where you want to go.

Plus Padma AI — the only AI career coaching tool built for senior women in marketing and PR, included free with every coaching engagement

Questioning your next move

Included in your 1:1 coaching

Padma AI — the coaching tool no other career coach offers. Yours free. For the full duration of our work together

Most coaching programmes end when the session does. Yours doesn’t.

Every 1:1 client gets full access to Padma AI – included free, throughout your entire engagement. Not an add-on. A core part of how we work together.

Built on 20 years of recruiting and hiring in marketing and PR, Padma AI knows what ATS systems filter for at Director level, what senior panels evaluate beneath the questions they ask, and where the specific bias lives for senior women in this market – including the barriers generic tools are entirely blind to.

It is available exclusively through 1:1 coaching with Padma and inside Land the Job. It cannot be accessed anywhere else.

Padma AI

Between sessions — when something cannot wait

A question at 10pm. A CV to tailor before tomorrow’s deadline. Language to test before an interview. Padma AI gives you somewhere to go that understands your sector, your level, and what we have been working on together.

CV and LinkedIn — with insider knowledge built in

Not just keyword checking. Padma AI examines your CV and LinkedIn for the specific language patterns that trigger bias in senior marketing and PR hiring — gap framing, confident leadership language that can land differently for women of colour — and suggests strategic rewrites.

Interview preparation — built on panel insider knowledge

Not a question bank. Not STAR frameworks. Padma AI helps you build impact stories calibrated to what senior marketing and PR panels are actually evaluating beneath the questions — commercial judgment, strategic thinking, leadership through ambiguity. Built on 20 years of knowing what the debrief sounds like after you leave the room.

The Recognition Gap* — addressed, not ignored

For women of colour in marketing, PR and comms, the barriers are structural as well as tactical. Overqualified. Overmentored and undersponsored. Confident communication read differently. Padma AI was built knowing all of this from the ground up — because I built it, and I have been inside those rooms for 20 years.

awesome results

What my Clients say:

Thank you so much for you help and guidance in my return to work journey. I approached Padma not only because of her coaching experience but her background in recruitment.

As a Returner, i had a broad idea of career path with no real plan in place. She helped me focus on goals and her practical advice provided the tools i needed in order to begin my job search.

I would highly recommend Padma to anyone who feels unsure about next steps in their career and would like to make a change.’
