At least twice in my career, I've walked away from what seemed like golden opportunities because they didn't live up to the hype. And I'm not alone.
A study by Gallup revealed that the primary reason most employees leave their jobs is because of their direct supervisor. In fact, the Workforce Institute at UKG found that managers impact workers' mental health more than both doctors and therapists!
In my experience, I've faced supervisors who dictated my professional development without my input and pressured me to provide special treatment to certain employees, against organizational policy. I've been denied promotions and training, and I've been made to feel that my work life would be difficult if I didn't ‘get with the program’. There's so many stories I could tell!
But here's the thing: sometimes, you're ready for a job, but the organization isn't ready for you. It's like any relationship - you court each other, go all-in. It’s at that time where unsavory cultures or perspectives can come to light.
Organizations are not perfect and human beings are a work in progress. Even the most seasoned of supervisors or highest ranked organization will have growing edges.What if the organization is fine? What if you just want MORE and BETTER?
What do you do? You take care of yourself. You give yourself grace. You leave situations where you're not treated respectfully or are pressured to throw your ethics out the window. You stay at a basic job while you plot your strategy to get your dream job with an income that matches what you bring to the table.
Some situations are so complex that it's healthier to leave than try to change it. It takes a tremendous amount of emotional labor to fight a good fight or stay where you're underemployed.
But the sooner you step away, the sooner you can hold space for renewal, healing, and progress. The sooner you shift energy towards the future instead of the painful present and past – the sooner you can #selfcare into a healthier situation.
Take the steps you need for your own well-being and professional growth. You can start with considering this special program.
I vowed to take charge of my career and never be a passive bystander. I hope you see value in taking charge of your career situation.
I've helped numerous people who have been marginalized, told to "wait their turn", or otherwise kept from their goals to find joy and financial freedom through optimizing their resume. #LoveCareerFreedom is about choosing to love ourselves enough to prioritize career self-care. Life is too short to be stressed and a mess! I have been honing my strategies, techniques, and methods for years and have put them into this program just for you.
I repeatedly invested in myself, found mentors, learned how to create multiple streams of income. It wasn't easy and I'm glad I reached out for help by hiring my own coaches and being a continuous learner. Now, I'm living my dream career path. I have am attracting dream roles in organizations that aligns with my values in which I'm passionate about! I have the flexibility to continue my private practice as a career and HR consultant and as a lay community minister.
I living my best career life in a beautiful way that brings freedom. Not only that, but I've taken great joy in helping others do the same.
Creating an empowering lifestyle was especially important since I watched my own parents work until their health gave out and they couldn't work any longer. They never had the opportunity to officially "retire". I learned from their experience.
They also taught me many lessons that led to my success, that I'll be sharing with you. There's always much to learn from both successes and when we miss the mark.
I can't wait to help you optimize your resume and share with you the very best of what I know works based on my 20 years of career consulting and human resources work.
Sign up for my program and feel awesome about starting your new path. I'm here for you.

If you're interested in my #LoveCareerFreedom program, you will LOVE my FREE MASTERCLASS.
It was excellent! I thought it was so awesome. It opened up opportunity for discussion and for us to learn. I just want to say to everyone, even if it’s on a corporate level to take the information that Ebony has to offer. I think she’ll go a long way in teaching people how to market themselves properly and get what they ask for as it related to their salary or income.
– Brenda Loften, Woman in Ministry since 1988: Evangelist, Prophetess, Psalmist, Pastor and now an aspiring Author of Christian and secular books
Ebony is one of the most talented people I’ve ever met to help you get to the core of what your message is. Whether you’re a creative type or a federal employer (which is her background) or the average person on the street who wants more career satisfaction, more career happiness, and who wants to really understand what to do with your life and how to make your life work in terms of your career…she wants you to have a high quality of life at your work, whatever it is. If you’re employed, if you’re an employee anywhere – you need this woman! You need Ebony. Get to her seminar or workshop, don’t wait. You’re silly if you wait. She’s giving you a lot of value, she’s generous and I guarantee you at the end of the day – you will never take her money back guarantee. You’ll say “I wish I came more!” And you’ll probably refer a lot of your friends. You will get more value than you even know.

I know I’m a pretty screwed up guy which makes the voice of reason you have so invaluable… Anyone in need of counseling about their career path or who is at a crossroads there would be a fool not to sit with you and listen to your suggestions. Thanks again!
