Career Coaching in New York City
Global Strategy. NYC Ambition. 1:1 Virtual Coaching That Actually Moves the Needle.
New York is unmatched in energy, but let’s be real, even high performers in this city hit walls.
Maybe you’re in mid-career and can’t see the next move.
Maybe you’re killing it on paper but dying inside.
Or maybe you’re ready to pivot… but don’t want to burn down everything you’ve built.
Here’s the truth: figuring it out alone is slow. And most “coaches” in the city? All fluff, no edge.
What if instead, you could work 1:1 with a world-class strategist not in the same borough, but with a global perspective to see what locals can’t?
Dr. Kerstin Brehm coaches high-achieving professionals in NYC virtually from her base in Dubai and her clients will tell you:
Time zone doesn’t matter. Results do.

Career Coaching in New York City
Why Work with an online Career Coach (Especially One Based Outside NYC)?
Because stepping back gives you a clearer view. Here’s what Dr. Brehm brings to your New York career:
- Global perspective: She’s coached leaders across the US, UK, Germany, and UAE and knows what’s universal and what’s NYC-specific.
- No-nonsense expertise: Former cardiac surgeon. Former Big 4 strategist. Former Managing Director. This isn’t cheerleading. It’s career engineering.
- Distance = strategy: She’s not stuck in your office politics, startup bubble, or industry myopia. That’s her edge.
- Discreet, private, high-trust: You’re not bumping into her at Equinox. You’re getting dedicated, off-grid clarity.
And honestly? The most elite professionals in NYC don’t waste time commuting to a coach’s office. They schedule smart, virtual sessions that deliver precision and results.
Who This Is For (And Who It’s Not)
✅ You’re in a mid to senior-level role and asking: “What’s next?”
✅ You’re bored, burnt out, or quietly doubting if this success is still worth it
✅ You want to pivot industries, step up to leadership, or finally get paid what you’re worth
✅ You want clarity, strategy, and a coach who calls your bluff with compassion and fire
🚫 You want a journal prompt and a bubble bath. (Wrong coach.)
🚫 You think virtual = less effective. (It’s more focused. More tailored. More secure.)
What You Get Inside 1:1 Coaching with Dr. Brehm
Whether you’re on Wall Street, Flatiron, or working from a WeWork in Brooklyn, this is for professionals who need structure, not noise.
In your virtual coaching program, you’ll:
- Identify what’s actually off (title, values, growth, energy)
- Map realistic pivots or internal moves that match your ambition
- Build a negotiation and visibility strategy (so you’re not just “liked,” but promoted)
- Rewire burnout loops into sustainable performance
- Reclaim your voice – no more apologising for wanting more
You get real-world tactics. And a strategy tailored to your life, not someone else’s blueprint.
