Is your path to a fulfilling career hidden from view?
Many of us fall short of an inspired life.
Especially professional women, leaders and women working in tech. So, you “stick it out.” You change jobs on a whim. You might even overdo it – just to feel better (because a little Chianti fixes everything, right?).
Early on, your work was pretty dreamy. Maybe even exciting.
Then, one day, you felt stalled. Labeled. Stuck. Frustrated. Dismissed. Bored.
I can help you change that.
Your greatest potential comes from aligning your work with what you are truly called to do in this world. I call that your True Nature. This goes way beyond updating your resume or negotiating a powerful comp package. This career transformation begins by taking a step back, reconnecting to your inner knowing, and then taking inspiHER’d action towards your ideal career with confidence and bold energy.
I used to help women change jobs. Now I help transform their careers.

Meet Laurie, Your Career Sherpa!
InspiHER Tech is led by the #1 Career Transformation coach for women, Laurie Swanson. As a successful tech recruiter for more than two decades, she has connected thousands of people with fulfilling careers. Her approach was always different. It wasn’t about simply getting her clients a job. It was about asking lots of questions and slowing the roll on taking action until both Laurie and her client were clear about the best next step in their career. Making sure that the jobs her clients pursued, and the careers they were building, were not a quick fix but were aligned with their bigger mission, values, passions, and their true essence. What she now calls True Nature.
Laurie harnesses her experience and empowers women just like you through coaching, speaking and the only group program that is exclusively created for women ready to transform their careers and lives: Career Reset.
Organizations like Nokia, Accenture, AnitaB.Org, The Executives’ Club of Chicago, Chicago Innovation, Women Tech Founders, Hub88, and 1871 have engaged Laurie as a coach, mentor, and speaker.
But it wasn’t always sunshine and roses . . . read the full story
What Makes InspiHER Tech Different?
Unlike traditional career coaching programs that focus solely on tactical job search or career-building tools, we believe that transforming your career starts from your profound, spiritual power center – your True Nature.
When we are in a position where we need to change our career or job – either by choice or circumstance – the first thing we think is, “I need to take action. Update my LinkedIn profile. Rewrite my resume. Reach out to my network.” We feel uncomfortable and we want to change how we are feeling. But, taking action from this place, can lead to messy results. By stepping back and focusing on your WHO before your HOW, you open yourself up to greater possibilities and opportunities.
Again and again, we’ve seen how a person’s True Nature informs inner purpose, attracts outer guidance, and positively impacts their career change.
Aligning your True Nature with your career puts you in flow with work you enjoy (get it, get it, get it), working in a people-driven company culture (right up ahead) and transitioning to a meaningful career that amps up your energy (breathing deeper now?). Of course, we give you all the proven tactical and practical tools and tips to rise and fly in your career (that, quite frankly, is the easy part).
Laurie Making A Scene
THIS IS HOW WE LIVE OUR MISSION
Laurie's warmth, relatability, and guidance have empowered me to fully embrace my career pause as I balance being a proud stay-at-home mom and building my own woman-owned side business. Through Career Alchemy, I’ve connected with incredible women who bring strength, inspiration, and light, opening up limitless career possibilities.
Sometimes it feels like I am all along on this job search. I love being a part of Career Alchemy Academy with other women who are going through the same process or have gone through it before. I do not feel so alone.
I appreciate the guidance and support at this stage in my career that is having a positive impact on me and the other women.
I feel so lucky to have met the wonderful people through Career Alchemy Academy. I am grateful that we can all help each other. You made this happen. Kudos to you, Laurie!
"I have been in a career that has served my life well in terms of providing income, benefits, and SECURITY for the family. However, for fear of losing that security, I tolerated more than necessary and didn't take action in areas that might have served me better in terms of income, job satisfaction, and giving back. Laurie’s guidance and support have been invaluable as I am now taking my career in a new direction."
"Your program focused my energy to reflect deeper on what I would love to do for the next phase of my career. It helped me take stock of my competencies, it helped structure my materials to match the current technology used by recruiters and talent acquisition software; and all this, as well as the coaching, helped build my confidence to represent me and my brand."
"I so appreciate Laurie’s coaching. She’s really great at figuring out root problems."
"I got the courage to apply for a job as a Python coder – and I got an interview! The old me would never have done this because I didn’t think I had enough qualifications. This changed the game for me. Learning about my inner compass and how to use it to accelerate my career will forever inform my career decisions."
"Thanks again for being here and whatever the outcome, I want to say I appreciate you so much Laurie. You're a good person and a significant part of a crucial decision-making and a life-changing phase of my and my daughter's life. We cannot emphasize how lucky we are to have you as part of our journey."
"The first week of Career Reset was amazing. The Connect the Dots exercise not only reminded me of what I love but also shined a spotlight on the fact that what I am doing now came from someone else’s idea of what I should be doing in my life. Amazing insight for me."
"Laurie has done her homework-in research and through life experiences. She shares that knowledge with inspiration and motivation."
"This was AMAZING! My time invested in Career Reset gave me lifelong lessons, insight into what I really want to do with my career and actionable items I've set into motion. I now have a dedicated space for my fiction writing - no more putting it on the back burner. I'm clear on what I want to do in my career and even prioritized my full-time work to accommodate my book writing until I can do that 100% of the time. Career Reset clarified my career goal by connecting my real-life goals with my work."

"I definitely recommend to anyone foggy about where they are at in their career or completely floundering! I would preface my recommendation to those considering it by telling them they deserve to do something for themselves. It made all the difference for me."
I've talked to several people about this issue and it wasn't until coaching with you that I got what I needed! Thank you so much.
"Laurie somehow tapped into my dream and, for the first time in a long time, I felt a spark of joy."

I learned a technique from today’s Rejuvenation that worked! I now can’t wait to nail a virtual workout video when I’m done with my day. I used to go straight to making dinner and then pretty much collapse. Now, exercise is a priority in my calendar, not something that happens when ‘the stars align.'
