Ricki Wax

Career Coach | Mentor | Leader

For over fifteen years I've helped leaders at some of the world's most recognized companies navigate pivots, promotions, and the quieter moments where something needs to change but they can't quite name it yet.

My work bridges practical career strategy with mindfulness — because the most powerful thing you can do for your career is also take care of the person building it.
