Career Coaching That Cuts Through the Noise

Stop Winging It. Start Leading.

If you’re here, let me guess… Your career looks good on paper. The job title. The paychecks. The LinkedIn endorsements. But quietly? You’re circling the same questions:

“Is this it?”
“Why does success still feel… off?”
“What’s my next move and how do I not screw it up?”

That’s not a breakdown. That’s your brain, the ambitious, capable, quietly-over-it part telling you it’s time to get strategic.

Career coaching isn’t about inspirational quotes and pep talks. It’s about engineering your next level with precision. It’s what I do.

I’m Dr. Kerstin Brehm, surgeon-turned-strategist, ex-corporate MD, and the person high-achievers call when they’re done guessing and ready to lead, differently.

Let’s Be Clear: You’re Not Broken. You’re Evolving.

Maybe you’re…

Crushing goals, but secretly coasting
Thinking about a pivot, but stuck in analysis paralysis
Tired of overworking, under-asking, and quietly wondering if you’re playing small
Leading… but with a growing suspicion you could lead better, bolder, clearer, without burning out

Good. That means you still care. It also means you’re smart enough to know the old playbook won’t get you where you want to go next.

What Career Coaching Actually Looks Like Here

Spoiler: It’s not me telling you what to do. You’ve had enough of that.

It’s a structured, strategic, brutally honest space to figure out:

What’s working (and what’s quietly draining you)
What your real value is beyond titles or résumés
How to build clarity, confidence, and presence without turning into someone else
How to negotiate, navigate, and recalibrate your career on your terms

No fluff. No vague affirmations. Just sharp, structured coaching for sharp, ambitious people.

Why Me?

(Besides the fact I’ve done the impossible career pivot… more than once)

● Cardiac Surgeon: Learned precision, pressure leadership, and what burnout actually looks like

● Big 4 Consulting: Saw how influence, negotiation, and corporate politics really work

● International MD: Sat on the other side of the hiring table fielding salary asks, leading teams, coaching high-stakes leaders

● Career & Leadership Coach: Now, I help high-achievers like you engineer bold, strategic next moves without sacrificing your ambition

I didn’t burn my career down. I rebuilt it. Now, I help others do the same.

Who This Career Coaching Is For

✔ Senior professionals craving clarity on their next move
✔ Mid-career leaders circling a pivot but scared to waste time (or money)
✔ High-performers quietly questioning if they’ve plateaued
✔ Women navigating visibility, negotiation, or impostor syndrome
✔ Anyone ready to lead with power, not perform for approval

Sound familiar? Good. Let’s get to work.

You Don’t Need More Motivation. You Need a System.

Inside my career coaching framework, we’ll:

Audit your current career reality (the good, bad, and quietly draining)

Build presence, language, and influence for the next level

Clarify your unique strengths, drivers, and hidden leverage

Rewire confidence so you stop under-asking, over-delivering, and second-guessing

Map bold, strategic options without burning everything down

This isn’t therapy. It’s not career counselling. It’s a structured, strategic recalibration built for ambitious professionals who refuse to coast.

Our leadership away-day with Dr. Brehm was a game changer. She helped our managers reconnect with their purpose, communicate more clearly, and leave ego at the door.

Her insights are sharp and practical. I gained clarity on my leadership style and how to manage up and down within a fast-growing company.

The session we had with Dr. Brehm in our NYC office shifted our leadership culture in real time. She brought clarity, energy, and actionable frameworks that made an immediate impact.

Real Talk? You Could Guess Your Way Through This.

You could stay “busy.” Stay respected. Stay… stuck.

Or, you could get strategic. Step into your next chapter engineered, not improvised.

Because guesswork isn’t a leadership strategy. Clarity is.
