for post-MBA professionals who want a structured way to pivot, advance, or manage their careers


I help post-MBAs who work or have worked for top companies, including:

Craft New Possibilities.

I’m Victoria Hefty, and as a Professional Development Director and Career Coach, I challenge post-MBAs to be curious and intentional about their career decisions.

From my start in Finance to a career that spans Healthcare, Strategy, Media and an MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business, I have developed a unique perspective on what it takes to find and grow into different career opportunities.


I bring joy, wonder, and rigor to an uncertain process

Finding post-MBA roles that are lucrative and fulfilling is difficult enough, but trying to thrive while navigating the ever changing workplace and potentially toxic dynamics can feel impossible. Whether you are trying to pivot, advance, or manage your career, you probably have some of these nagging thoughts swirling in your head right now…

 

For example, I was talking to a post-MBA one morning who was overwhelmed by the prospect of changing careers. Even though he worked for a top management consulting firm, he felt stuck and pigeonholed in his current role. He said…

I half-jokingly asked him to picture a cocktail.

I told him that most cocktails are made of the same few ingredients, so what makes a drink memorable (and tasty) is not the individual ingredients but how those ingredients are blended.

And what made him unique was the combination of his skills, values, and experiences (his “Signature Blend”).

 What started as a fun analogy is now a core part of my coaching services


Craft A Better Way.

My coaching services can help you craft a better approach to answering challenging questions and taking command of your career.
