Hi! I’m Heather.

I help people make powerful career and life transformations - and in my experience, those two things often go together.

I started working in career development in 2006 and launched Career Savvy Coaching in 2009. In the years since, I've had the privilege of helping thousands of people navigate career transitions, leadership growth, toxic workplace recovery, and the deeper life changes that often come along with all of it.

Here's what I've learned: Career change is rarely just about the job. It usually shows up alongside something bigger - a divorce, kids leaving for college, a workplace that's become unbearable - or maybe it’s simply your time to make a change. My clients come to me for the career piece and we often end up working on all of it: confidence, boundaries, and big life transitions.

I’m so glad you are here.

What it's like to work with me

I'm a trauma-informed coach, which means I create a space where you can feel safe saying things out loud, knowing that I get it and I'm here to listen. You don't have to spend our time over-explaining or convincing me that what you experienced was real. I already believe you.

Women in midlife often come to me because they're ready for a significant step forward - a new chapter, a second act, a version of their career and life that finally fits who they've become. I also work with emerging leaders, executives, professionals in transition, and anyone who's been told they're "too much."

Some of my clients and I have worked together for years - because there's always something new in life where support and guidance can help. My clients call me their “career therapist.” We laugh a lot. We do the important work.

What I believe
It's important to me that you know I am a passionate advocate for human rights, social justice, diversity, inclusion, and equity for all. I support the LGBTQIA+ community. Transgender clients are safe with me.

If something here resonates, I'd love to be on your team.

Your story matters. You matter.

  • "I have known Heather for about 10 years and have worked with her during my career transitions. When it comes to career transition, it isn't only about preparing your resume, LinkedIn profile, and interviewing skills. There is the emotional rollercoaster that comes along with it. And Heather leverages her experience, empathy, and coaching expertise to offer support for a very targeted and intentional transition. Add to that the emotional support, and you have a first-class career coach. I would recommend Heather to anyone going through career changes. Thanks Heather!"

  • "Working with Heather has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my career journey. From day one, she created a supportive and insightful space that made me feel both challenged and encouraged. Heather introduced me to new tools and approaches—she was the one who first got me comfortable using ChatGPT, which has now become a key part of my professional toolkit. Beyond that, she completely rebranded my resume and LinkedIn profile in a way that highlights my strengths and tells my story with clarity and impact. What sets Heather apart is her ability to be both a strategic guide and a genuine sounding board. Throughout my job search, she has been steady, thoughtful, and consistently insightful — helping me navigate setbacks and celebrate wins. On top of her professional brilliance, Heather brings warmth and authenticity. She’s a devoted dog lover with a small herd of rescues (my favorite breed), and that same compassion and dedication shows up in how she supports her clients. If you’re looking for a career coach who combines deep expertise with a truly supportive coaching style, Heather is outstanding. She doesn’t just help you “polish” your materials—she helps you reframe your confidence, your strategy, and your next chapter."

  • "I highly recommend Heather Coleman-Voss of Career Savvy Coaching. Heather didn’t just help me craft and fine-tune my online profile — she invested in me. Twice a week, she sat down with me to prepare for interviews and strategize on how best to present myself. That level of commitment and personal attention made all the difference. Heather also opened my eyes to tools and resources I hadn’t considered before, including how to leverage AI in my job search. She combines practical, modern strategies with deep, personalized coaching, and it shows. I walked away more confident, better prepared, and with a sharper sense of direction. If you’re looking for a coach who goes beyond surface-level advice and truly partners with you, Heather is the one."

  • "I was connected to Heather via a mutual friend who had used her resume and career coaching services. I worked with Heather to help me in my career trajectory. We worked on what I wanted in my next professional role and then once that was figured out, we completely revamped my resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile. Within five months, I've accepted a new full time role, in what I believe is a dream job! I would have not been able to do this without Heather! She truly cares about her clients, and provides much more than career coaching."

  • "Heather’s insights, humor, and knack for cutting through the noise helped me refine my story, rediscover my strengths, and tackle my goals with confidence. Career coaching isn’t just about landing a job, it’s about embracing your value and charting a path you’re truly passionate about. Grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to any woman who have experienced trauma and those stupid glass ceilings in the workplace."

  • "Heather is amazing. For anyone who has doubts about resume or career or life coaching services, look no further than Heather. I have known Heather for almost 10 years now, and from the very first session, I was transformed. Now let me be clear... The initial session served as a way-point for me. A way-point is a travel reference - a stop along the way. With Heather, my way-point analogy means I was able to relax, to rest. The worry and the confusion and the loss I was feeling was 'set to the side'. I know, corny. But also true and real and exactly what I needed. We cannot move forward if we are burdened with worry and fear. Heather opens up the space to allow for all of that to exist but not be the driving force. We are the driving force. So, if you are feeling tired, burdened, lost or just defeated on your journey, give yourself permission to rest. Heather is here to help you, and she is on the way..."
