Career Coaching in an AI World: What Still Works Amid Layoffs and Automation

Career coaching in an AI world can feel confusing right now.

AI is booming.
Layoffs are hitting almost every industry.
Entry-level jobs are disappearing.

And a lot of people are quietly asking the same question:

“Does what worked before still work now?”
Or even more honestly:
“Am I too late?”

Let me answer that clearly and honestly.

No — our programs haven’t changed.
And that’s not because we’re ignoring reality.
It’s because they were never built on trends or gimmicks in the first place.

They were built on what actually lasts.

Let’s talk about what still works — and why it matters more than ever.


The Reality: AI and Layoffs

Here’s the hard truth.

AI is replacing many lower-level, repetitive roles — especially in data entry, customer support, and administrative work. Entire career paths that once felt “safe” no longer are.

But here’s what AI still cannot do:

  • Build trust

  • Communicate with empathy

  • Guide someone through uncertainty

  • Coach someone into clarity

  • Encourage someone to pursue meaningful work

Those aren’t just “soft skills.”

They’re human skills.

And in a world full of automation, they’ve become the most valuable skills there are.


Why My Programs Still Work (and Why They’re Different)

I’ve been coaching women since 2012.

My very first client used what I now call the Love Your Career Formula™ — a simple, proven roadmap to help women discover the work they were born to do, succeed doing it, and create meaningful impact.

That framework hasn’t changed.

If anything, it’s become more essential.

Why?

Because we don’t teach:

  • Spray-and-pray resume tactics

  • Endless online applications

  • Guesswork and burnout

We teach:

  • Clarity

  • Strategy

  • Purposeful career design

And this is where I want to get personal for a moment.

Yes, I earned my MBA.
And honestly? I don’t use most of it.

The classes that changed my life weren’t finance or accounting.

They were Marketing and Speech.

Speech class forced me to face my fear of public speaking — and that confidence later shaped my career as a teacher, speaker, and podcast host.

Marketing required me to think strategically and communicate clearly every single week. That training helped me think like a business owner long before I ever became one.

What I didn’t learn in my MBA?

How to build a business.
How to get clients.
How to build trust.
How to sell with integrity.

I had to learn all of that through experience.

And that’s exactly what I teach now.


What Makes Corporate Rescue Plan and Certification Different

There are a lot of programs right now promising:

  • Viral content

  • Overnight success

  • Six figures fast

That’s not what we do here.

Because real careers — and real businesses — aren’t built on hacks.

They’re built on foundations.

Corporate Rescue Plan

Corporate Rescue Plan helps women leave corporate the smart way — not by guessing or burning out, but by creating a clear plan, building consistent income, and learning real marketing and sales skills that work in any economy.

Career Coach Certification

Career Coach Certification isn’t a title or a checklist.

It’s a framework.
A system.
A mission.

Our coaches learn how to:

  • Get clients without being pushy

  • Create real transformation

  • Serve with confidence and clarity

And they’re making a real difference — not because they followed trends, but because they learned how to solve real problems and help people move forward.


3 Things That Still Work Today

Let’s cut through the noise.

Despite everything changing, some things simply don’t.

1. Use AI as a Tool — Not Your Strategy

AI is incredible for brainstorming, drafting, and organizing ideas.

But it can’t replace your voice, your story, or your conviction.

AI doesn’t feel passion.
AI doesn’t lead transformation.

You do.

Use AI as an assistant — not the architect.


2. The 4×4 Networking Challenge Still Works

This practice changed my life.

Every month:

  • 4 conversations with people you already know

  • 4 conversations with people you don’t

No pitching. No pressure. Just real connection.

Opportunities follow trust.
Referrals follow relationships.

And no algorithm can replace a meaningful conversation.


3. Passion + Purpose = Real Security

A lot of people are chasing “safe” right now.

But safety without alignment leads to burnout.

Real career security comes from:

  • Knowing who you are

  • Understanding your strengths

  • Being brave enough to pursue meaningful work

When you’re aligned, you stand out.
You become magnetic.
You become irreplaceable.


How to Find Career Fulfillment Today

Career fulfillment is still possible — even now.

But it doesn’t come from copying everyone else.

It comes from clarity.

Step 1: Clarity Is the New Currency

Stop spinning.
Stop chasing every opportunity.
Stop changing direction every time the market shifts.

Ask:

  • What do I actually want?

  • What energizes me?

  • What impact do I want to make?

Clarity cuts through noise faster than anything else.


Step 2: Create a Success Path That Fits You

Fulfillment isn’t one-size-fits-all.

That’s why the Love Your Career Formula™ works — it helps you design a path based on purpose, values, and strengths, not panic.

Whether you’re pivoting careers, starting a business, or becoming a coach — you need a map.


Step 3: Fulfillment Comes From Impact, Not Titles

The most fulfilled women I’ve coached aren’t chasing status.

They wake up excited.
They go to bed grateful.
They know their work matters.

And that is available to you.


My Mission Moving Forward

From the beginning, my mission has been clear:

Career Fulfillment for All Women.

Today, that mission matters more than ever.

Because when women step into work they love:

  • They lead

  • They create

  • They model possibility for the next generation

If you feel called to coach, lead, or serve — this is your moment.


Final Thoughts: What Still Works

You are not replaceable.
Your purpose is not replaceable.
And the impact you can have is not replaceable.

AI isn’t the enemy.
But it’s not the answer either.

People still need people.
Clients still need coaches.
The world still needs your voice.

So let’s keep doing the work that matters.

Because what we do?

Still works.
