If you’ve never tried career coaching before, it’s hard to know what to expect. And when you don’t know what to expect, it can feel scary to give career coaching a try. I get that! My name is Crystal Lee and I’ve been a career coach for over 10 years. I often hear people say […]

Hi! I'm Crystal Lee, a holistic career coach.
Through private coaching, group workshops, and self-guided resources,
I help mid-career and relocating professionals find the clarity and confidence to pursue their own definitions of success.
I know how frustrating it is to want change but not know how to make it happen. You’re scared of making the wrong move and being judged by others.
Is it worth the risk?
YES IT IS.
You shouldn't have to compromise your hopes, dreams, and well-being to fit into other people’s expectations of you.
It’s time to honor your true desires.
Since 2013, I’ve helped hundreds of job seekers and career changers get clear on what they want and move into action. My clients have landed dream jobs, relocated to new cities, started businesses, and successfully navigated major life transitions such as returning to work after a break and building a career in a new country.
My services are remote-friendly. I’ve worked with folks living across Canada from Vancouver to Ottawa, and as far as France and Taiwan. As a lifelong word nerd and culture straddler, I especially love to support clients with professional communications and navigating intercultural workplaces.

I worked with Crystal to help revise my resume and overall job search strategy. Her proactive support, useful advice, and gentle approach were beyond my expectations. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for clarity, direction, and actionable-guidance (already have) in their career path, and plan to work with her again in future. Thank you so much Crystal!!

Crystal hosted a laughter yoga session in Bowen Park with a group of friends and it was AWESOME. I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time. I 100% recommend Crystal — I plan to hire her again!

Crystal was incredibly helpful with making me feel more confident in my job search! I had no idea what to do with my LinkedIn profile until I set up a video-chat with her and we walked through the different aspects of making an introduction section and how important it is to make your banner/profile picture reflect how you are professionally. I don't know what I would have done without her and I will forever be grateful! :)
