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 letās be real, even high performers in this city hit walls.
Maybe youāre in mid-career and canāt see the next move.
Maybe you’re killing it on paper but dying inside.
Or maybe youāre ready to pivotā¦ but don’t want to burn down everything you’ve built.
Hereās the truth: figuring it out alone is slow. And most ācoachesā 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 canāt?

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. Hereās what Dr. Brehm brings to your New York career:
- Global perspective: Sheās coached leaders across the US, UK, Germany, and UAE and knows whatās universal and whatās NYC-specific.
- No-nonsense expertise: Former cardiac surgeon. Former Big 4 strategist. Former Managing Director. This isnāt cheerleading. Itās career engineering.
- Distance = strategy: Sheās not stuck in your office politics, startup bubble, or industry myopia. Thatās her edge.
- Discreet, private, high-trust: Youāre not bumping into her at Equinox. Youāre getting dedicated, off-grid clarity.
And honestly? The most elite professionals in NYC donāt waste time commuting to a coachās office. They schedule smart, virtual sessions that deliver precision and results.
Who This Is For (And Who Itās Not)
ā
Youāre in a mid to senior-level role and asking: āWhatās next?ā
ā
Youāre bored, burnt out, or quietly doubting if this success is still worth it
ā
You want to pivot industries, step up to leadership, or finally get paid what you’re worth
ā
You want clarity, strategy, and a coach who calls your bluff with compassion and fire
š« You want a journal prompt and a bubble bath. (Wrong coach.)
š« You think virtual = less effective. (Itās 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 whatās actually off (title, values, growth, energy)
- Map realistic pivots or internal moves that match your ambition
- Build a negotiation and visibility strategy (so youāre not just āliked,ā 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.
