Career Coaching in Chicago
High-Performance Career Coaching. Designed in Dubai. Built for Professionals in Chicago.
Dr. Brehm isn’t your local life coach with a script and a smile. She’s a board-certified cardiac surgeon turned Big 4 strategist, turned MD of an international company, now operating as a high-trust, high-impact career coach for professionals in the U.S.
And yes, she coaches virtually. From Dubai. Because the future of career evolution isn’t about walking into someone’s office, it’s about working with someone who knows how to elevate yours.
Why Work Virtually With a Global Coach? (Especially If You're Based in Chicago)
Because location doesn’t define effectiveness. Perspective does.
💡 You don’t need someone down the block.
You need someone who’s been in boardrooms, operating rooms, and career transitions that don’t fit neatly into LinkedIn updates.
Here’s what virtual coaching with Dr. Brehm brings you:
- Global Strategy With Local Sensitivity
She understands U.S. career culture and Chicago’s business rhythm — but brings an external lens sharp enough to challenge industry blind spots. - Confidentiality & Convenience
No awkward coffee meetups. No, explaining your doubts to a stranger in your network. Just focused, strategic 1:1 support straight from Zoom to your calendar.
Elite Background, No Nonsense
Whether you’re leading a team in tech or burning out in healthcare, she’s worked across high-stakes roles. You’ll get structure, not fluff.
Who It's For
If you’re based in Chicago, downtown, River North, Evanston or working remotely from a high-rise in Lakeview, this coaching is for you if:
- You’re a mid-to-senior-level professional feeling underutilised or boxed in
- You’ve done well, but can’t name your next move with confidence
- You’re mentally drafting your resignation, but don’t want to blow it all up without a plan
- You’re a woman in leadership who’s tired of trading ambition for balance
It’s not for the “maybe next year” crowd. It’s for the ones who already know something needs to shift and want help doing it right.
What You’ll Work On
This isn’t templated coaching. It’s live strategy for ambitious people ready to course-correct before they crash.
You’ll work on:
- Pinpointing exactly what’s not working – role, team, industry, identity
- Building a career roadmap that factors in money, meaning, and momentum
- Repositioning your personal brand so doors open before you knock
- Practicing negotiation language that lands results, not just “respect”
- Leading and communicating with presence, without performing
You’ll leave each session clearer, sharper, and more in command of your next chapter.

Still Wondering If Online Career Coaching Works?
Can a coach in Dubai really understand my Chicago career path?
Yes, because I’ve led global teams, survived high-pressure systems, and reinvented myself at the highest level. This isn’t guesswork. It’s precision coaching for professionals who can’t afford to waste time.
What if I don’t know what I want yet?
That’s the point. Most of my clients come to me mid-pivot, not post-decision. My job is to create clarity before you make a move you regret (or delay one you need).
