Hi, I'm Adanna—your coach for what's next.

I graduated right after the Great Recession with a $35K analyst job. I was working hard but not building relationships or making my work visible, and ranked in the bottom 50% at my first review. That's when I realized: hard work wasn't enough. I needed to understand how the system worked and learn to play it strategically.

Within 12 months, I was leading major accounts. Five years later, I'd 6x'd my salary. By 30, I was coaching others through the same moves I had to figure out the hard way. Today, I'm a Go-To-Market leader in ed tech, but what energizes me most is driving transformation initiatives with innovative schools and helping great people play smart and build careers that don't drain them.

That's why I created Agence. Work should give us energy, not just take it. Whether you're making a career shift or testing something new, there's space for it here.

i've coached professionals at:

and students at schools like:

I help mid-career professionals get into action mode to improve their work life and career trajectory. That means:

  • Aligning on a clear vision and plan for their next step

  • Positioning themself accordingly

  • Preparing for the conversations and milestones that matter

  • Achieving clear goals (e.g., promotion, offer, or exit)

  • Creating systems so their job is supportive, not all-consuming

I also partner with colleges and universities to train students and early career professionals on how to navigate the job market and succeed on day 1 of work—from communicating compellingly and doing case interviews to managing expectations and boundaries on multi-generational teams.
