Hi! I’m Crystal Lee, a holistic career coach, writer, and workshop leader based on Vancouver Island and serving the global community.
Through private coaching, group workshops, and self-guided resources,
I help mid-career professionals transform their work and life with clarity, confidence, and kindness.
There’s a lot going on in the world, and a lot of it is outside your control. It’s easy to feel lost, overwhelmed, and hopeless.
But there’s also a lot within your control — like how you interact with others, what you say about yourself, and when you finally submit that job application. I’m here to help you own your career story and start the next chapter of your life.
Combining my professional coaching and writing skills, I'll help you succeed in your job search and career development — like the hundreds of people I’ve helped since 2013. My clients have landed dream jobs, relocated to new cities, started businesses, and conquered major life transitions like returning to work after a break and building a career in a new country.
Supporting you where you’re at
My services are remote-friendly! From my home on Vancouver Island, I coach diverse professionals living across Canada, USA, and as far as Asia and Africa. From accountability groups to guides and templates, I've got something to help you.
Looking to make a career move but not sure where to start?
