EFMs have many different career paths – really too many to count: travel enthusiast, embassy
workhorse, dog mom, children organizer, remote work trailblazer…
But the one thing that we almost all have in common? Our paths aren’t straight or
straightforward. And often it takes someone else to help us tease out our strengths, skills, and
value.

consultancy that works with you to tell your best narrative on paper and online, aligned with
