The Driven Career

Why I built The Driven Career

I founded The Driven Career because I saw too many high-performers playing defense. They were waiting for recognition, waiting for the right "remote" policy, or waiting for a recruiter to find them.

I believe you shouldn't have to wait. Whether you’re scaling within your current company, navigating a pivot that feels "risky," or finally deciding to take your career global, you deserve a roadmap that actually works.

Ownership Over Everything

This isn’t about just chasing a title or a bigger paycheck. It’s about Strategic Career Ownership. It’s about understanding the "hidden" rules of HR, knowing how to position your unique value, and leveraging a network that opens doors you didn’t even know existed.

Join the Ecosystem

Career growth is often framed as a climb up someone else’s ladder, but real success isn’t defined by a trend, a title, or a set of external expectations. I believe that your path should be as unique as your ambitions. We’re moving beyond reactive job searching and building a professional ecosystem where strategy meets lifestyle.

My role is to help you define what success looks like for you, whether that’s more influence, more freedom, or a new zip code and then help you stand firm in that vision.

By intentionally shaping your narrative and positioning yourself for the freedom, impact, and location you’ve earned, we ensure that your career growth is no longer left to chance, but built by design.

Hi I am Rachel - Career Coach - Strategist

I’m a Human Resources professional and Career Strategist with over 10 years of experience supporting professionals and leadership teams across industries like tech, cleantech, mining, retail, and logistics. I’ve worked closely with individual contributors, people managers, and C-suite executives and I’ve seen what drives career growth, performance, and leadership development inside organizations.

I’ve seen firsthand the thin line between those who wait for opportunities and those who architect them. My career in HR gave me a deep understanding of the 'hidden' mechanics of growth from high-stakes hiring conversations to strategic performance planning.

I founded The Driven Career to bring that 'insider' perspective directly to you. I’ve translated years of recruitment and people development data into a strategic framework that helps professionals move beyond reactive decision-making. Whether you are scaling within your current organization or transitioning into the global remote market, I provide the HR-backed strategy to ensure you aren't just working harder but positioning yourself for the impact you want.

I continue to work on strategic HR projects and leadership development initiatives, and I believe deeply in aligning business success with people success. Whether inside a company or through 1:1 coaching, I’m committed to helping professionals and teams perform at their best.

My mission is to help driven professionals grow and lead their careers with strategy.
