About the Founder

Kate E. Stephenson

Hi, I’m Kate — certified career and leadership coach, expert publisher, writer and editor with over 20 years of experience in this work.

And I can say, The Caffeinated Career is a business I’ve built for and by these times. We’ve been through it, and we can move through it — together — again.

No matter what is happening in the market, there is always power in owning your story.

2008: Building a Business, Amidst a Recession
Remember 2008? The year after the U.S. financial bubble burst, and a recession left many workers feeling the job market was betting against you? That’s when I launched The Caffeinated Career.

Amidst the uncertainty, frustration and chaos of the market, I helped my clients overcome both the logical and the absolutely absurd obstacles between them and employment or career advancement. 

2020: A Whole New Work Landscape
March 2020 provided a whole new challenge. I supported hundreds of clients through the Covid Quarantine years as the bubble burst and many workers figured out how to survive and thrive in a whole new work landscape.

Today: We’re in This Together
With so much uncertainty ahead of us and layoffs looming yet again, I truly believe no one should have to navigate this path alone.

Life is a contact sport, and in every sport, there are coaches to help you call the right plays and help you win. When it comes to navigating the challenging moments of your career — that coach is me.

Whether you are a student or a C-suite executive, let’s work together to create a clear plan of action and craft a professional narrative that sparks interest.

Perk Up Your Career

The only constant is change.”

So let me help you change on your terms. There is more opportunity today than ever before. And it knocks on your door every day. 
The Caffeinated Career is here to help you perk up to the possibilities. Get percolating!
