Invite Alice to Your Podcast
Real stories, contrarian takes, and conversations that make your audience rethink everything they thought they knew about career success.
Not Your Typical Career Coach Interview
Most career experts come on podcasts and rattle off tips. Update your LinkedIn. Network more. Find your passion.
Alice does the opposite.
She challenges the advice your audience has heard a hundred times. She tells stories that make people stop and think, “Wait, that’s exactly what I’ve been doing.” And she leaves listeners with something they didn’t expect: permission to stop forcing a career that was never built for them.
Her signature take? “Find your passion” is dangerous advice. It sends people chasing a feeling they can’t name, toward a destination they haven’t thought through. What actually works is understanding how you’re wired and then building from there.
That’s the kind of conversation that gets shared.
What Your Audience Gets
A decade in recruitment across start-ups, scale-ups, and Fortune 500s. Thousands of career conversations. A personal career pivot from performing arts to scuba diving instructor to corporate to coaching. And real client stories (with permission) that your listeners will see themselves in.
Alice is direct, warm, and funny. She doesn’t hide behind frameworks or jargon. She talks like a real person about real problems, and she’s not afraid to say what most coaches won’t.
Your audience will walk away with:
- A completely different way to think about why they feel stuck
- The “wrong room” concept that reframes career dissatisfaction instantly
- Practical self-knowledge strategies they can use immediately
- The confidence to stop settling and start questioning
1. “You’re Building a Career for Someone Who Doesn’t Exist”
The story of joining a running club in Holland and hating every second of it, until someone dragged her to CrossFit and everything clicked. That’s what happens in careers too. Your world gets small. You end up in one room and forget other rooms exist. Most people aren’t failing. They’re succeeding at the wrong thing.
2. “You’ve Changed. Your Career Hasn’t.”
Moving countries, having kids, turning 40, hitting a certain income level. Life transitions change who you are. But most people never update their career to match. They keep operating from a version of themselves that doesn’t exist anymore.
3. “Nobody Taught You How to Know Yourself”
The missing step in every career transition. People jump straight from “I’m unhappy” to “I need a new job” without doing the identity work in between. That’s why the next role often feels exactly like the last one. Alice breaks down what that identity work actually looks like, no personality quizzes involved.
4. “The Acceptance Gap”
Figuring out who you are is only half the battle. The harder part is accepting it. Internal you vs external you. The version you’ve been performing vs the person you actually are. That conflict is where people stay stuck for years, and it’s where the real work lives.
5. “Why Your Success Feels Empty (And What to Do About It)”
The gap between career satisfaction and career fulfilment. Why high achievers who look successful by every external measure can still feel lost, disconnected, and quietly wondering: is this really it? This one resonates hard with ambitious professionals who would never say they’re struggling.
