The Money Magnet

I work with career coaches who are tired of vetting leads who are non-committal and/or can't afford your services. 

I offer a DWY and DFY lead funnel creation service so you can generate quality warm leads from LinkedIn on autopilot! All you need is a simple system to vet leads for you and you'll save 5-10 hours a week.

You left your 9-5 for a reason. But vetting leads feels like your new full-time job!

As a career coach, there's no shortage of people interested in working with you. With so many people on the job market, getting leads and referrals is a breeze!

Your calendar is booked with free discovery calls. But there's a catch...

If they're unemployed, they might struggle to afford your coaching services. So you find yourself constantly turning people away or offering a massive discount because you feel bad for them.

But you still have bills to pay. How are you supposed to support yourself if this continues?

You need a system that works for you to bring in qualified, motivated clients who are ready to take action. That’s where I come in.

I help career coaches like you build simple, automated systems (i.e. lead funnels) on LinkedIn so you can:

→ Attract clients who can afford your high-ticket offer
→ Stop wasting time on discovery calls that don't convert
→ Spend more time doing what you love: Helping current clients reach their career goals

How I'm Qualified:
I'm a former tech recruiter with 10 years of experience at McKinsey, Accenture, and 2 NYC tech companies. I've also been a career coach, so I've felt your frustration wasting time on leads who couldn’t commit. 

How I Can Help:
I focus on building simple systems that rely on automation to pre-qualify leads for you. I offer a DFY and DWY LinkedIn lead funnel creation service that takes the guesswork out of client acquisition. 

There are 4 steps:

1. Optimized LinkedIn Profile 
2. Calendar Software Questionnaire (Calendly, TidyCal)
3. Customized Lead Magnet 
4. Targeted Landing Page

(You may think your profile is optimized, but if it's not attracting the right clients or clearly showcasing your value, you're missing opportunities!)

The Result:
This system will take a cold prospect and turn them into a warm lead without you ever interacting with them! 

How? Because it'll build trust that you understand their challenges and have the right solution to solve them. 

Imagine hopping on calls with warm leads who are your ideal clients, because they've already proven they're committed and can afford your services! 🤯

This is the power of a system that works for you 24/7/365.

Career + Exec Coach for Ambitious Millennial Women | Speaker | MBA, Ex-Leader + Consultant

You care deeply about your career, work extremely hard and have the title, scope and results to prove it, and *yet* your current role just isn't working.   

You’ve worked so hard to get to where you are today – from high school honor society to all the college extracurriculars to crushing your first job to a top grad school to that prestigious, post-grad job.

Now you have what you’ve always wanted – that coveted title at a brand-name company, a long list of promotions on your resume and a lot of zeros on your paycheck.

You’re proud of your success (and you should be!), but the job you always wanted has started to feel like the suit you bought pre-pandemic…stiff, itchy and just not right.

You might…

→ Be a future “Chief” temporarily stuck on a low rung of the ladder. You know you’re going to be in the C-Suite one day. CNBC, Ted Talks, Board seats, here you come. But, your current job isn’t going to get you there.

→ A high-achiever measuring success differently these days. Your ambition has evolved - you want to be successful and do work you care about, but you’re measuring success by the number of friend dinners, pilates classes or daycare pickups these days.Your job doesn’t gel with who you are today.

→ Have climbed straight up – only to find burnout. You’ve had a lot of success in the first part of your career – perhaps, too much and you feel, well, just tired. You like your work, you’re proud of your success. You don’t want to throw it all away, but something has to give.

You’re in the right place.

Hi! I'm Cydnee. I equip high-achieving millennial women with mindset and strategies to create and thrive in the career you want. As a former exec leader, chief of staff, consultant and NYU Stern MBA, I have helped 110+ women reimagine their lives since 2019 - and am excited to do the same with you.

I was sure I had just bombed the most important interview of my life.

My mind went blank, my voice cracked, and I could 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 the opportunity slipping away.

It was for a post-MBA consulting role I’d spent 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘴 preparing for—the one that was supposed to catapult my career forward.

I’d spent 4 months preparing.

Coming from the social sector, I had to teach myself to do math. Studied business frameworks until they stopped sounding like another language. 

I had done everything I possibly could.

And I felt ready.

But 45 minutes into the case, I was talking in circles.

I used the right framework but my math got twisted. My logic fell apart.

I smiled. Held eye contact. Tried to stay composed.

But inside I knew it was over.

Fast forward to that night, I was curled up in the dark watching a comfort movie, eating peanut M&Ms, and replaying every mistake.

Then my phone lit up: voicemail from the recruiter.

My heart sank. I braced myself for the rejection.

I hit play.

“We’d like to invite you back to the next round…”

I gasped. Dropped my phone. And just sobbed.

Four months of pressure, stress, and hope came flooding out.

A few weeks later, I got the offer.

The firm I wanted. The career launch I’d worked for.

And yet… I’ve never understood why they advanced me.

I didn’t have the right answer.

But now, 10+ years later, after moving up the ladder, managing teams, and interviewing candidates myself I get it.

He saw me stay composed under pressure.

And decided I could hold my own in front of executives.

Because your 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 matters just as much as your words.

In interviews. On calls. In high-stakes moments.

People will forget the specifics.

But being able to hold your own in an uncertain moment and still lead with poise.

In interviews, just like in life, counts for a lot.

I quietly transformed my core coaching offer over the past few months.

And it’s so much better for my clients. Here’s why:

There’s an inherent tension in coaching — trying to serve as many people as possible when you can’t scale yourself.

So most coaches offer group programs.

Think: a cohort moving through the same modules together, on the same timeline.

It’s a proven model.

I ran two “Career Accelerator” programs earlier this year.

They worked — my clients got clarity and results.

But something felt off.

Maybe it was the “Accelerator” framing — how do you accelerate through such deeply introspective work?!

So I paused to reflect.

And I realized:

The time-bound, cohort-based model just isn’t right for my clients.

It was built on a few false assumptions — that my clients:

→ Are all ready to start coaching on the same day
→ Move through the work at the same, quick pace
→ Will magically find “the answer” in three weeks.

Once I saw that, everything changed.

This fall, I redesigned my program:

𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝, a proven coaching program for ambitious millennial women ready to stop swirling on "what's next?!" and make grounded, strategic career moves.

It’s “flexible by design,” which means you:

→ Join when you’re ready (not on a single start date)
→ Move through the content at your own pace
→ Stay as long as you’d like support

And the best part?

You’re surrounded by a curated, application-only group of thoughtful, ambitious women doing this work alongside you.

It’s powerful. It works.

(We’ve already celebrated our first new job! It was already in the works before the program started, but shows the caliber of participants.)

We already have seven women enrolled and only three spots left before the end of the year.

Let’s make 2026 the year you create the life you want.

Honored and tickled to be featured on the home page of ideamensch this month — the same platform that’s interviewed Seth Godin, Daniel Pink and Gary Vee. Nbd 👀.

This may be my favorite interview to-date. I got to cover everything from my tried-and-true productivity habits and my favorite books to the core philosophy for my business. 

And yes, I made a strong case for my favorite grounding ritual — a regular, phone-free walk. Ideally, with a dog trotting next to you.  

If you want to get to know the heartbeat behind my work a little better, this is a great place to start: https://lnkd.in/eaEvqC7X

Grateful to Dreamers & Doers® for making this possible, and to be featured alongside so many other impressive women.

When you're an ambitious millennial woman craving a career change, it can feel like there are 100 steps between you and the next role you want:

Reflect. Research. Network. Analyze. Reflect again...

It’s overwhelming.

But the first and most important step you can take isn't creating a spreadsheet or diving down a LinkedIn rabbit hole. 

It's letting yourself want something different.

To admit something’s not working.

To tell the truth — to yourself — about what you really want.

If you're feeling stuck or lost, allow yourself to...

1️⃣ 𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞.

You’re not who you were 5 yrs ago — your life has changed. What you care about has changed.

Who you were yesterday can’t make the right decisions for you today.

You’re 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 to want something different — and to build a life that matches who you are today.

2️⃣ 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭.

You’ve been trained to be rational - pick the path that keeps options open. Has the fastest and highest trajectory.

But the best moves live in between your spreadsheet and heart.

You’re 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 to use your intuition when making decisions — it’s not woo, it’s strategic.

3️⃣ 𝐒𝐚𝐲 “𝐧𝐨” — 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲.

You were taught to say yes: new projects, extra credit, networking convos.

It’s how you prove your worth.

But we humans have finite capacity - both in terms of time and energy.

You’re 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 to say “no,” so you can say “yes” to what’s right.

4️⃣ 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐞.

You’ve been conditioned to value the brand name, shiny title, LinkedIn-awe-worthy move.

But external validation will never create internal fulfillment.

You’re 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 to want a career that energizes you — even if it doesn’t look as good on paper.

5️⃣ 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫.

You’ve been told to power through. Never be a “quitter.”

Sometimes, the strategic move isn’t staying — it’s leaving. Or recognizing a situation for what it is — and preserving your energy to find what’s better.

You’re 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 to leave before exhausting yourself — you can and will find something better.

6️⃣ 𝐎𝐰𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞.

You’ve learned to be humble, let your work speak for itself, there’s always more to learn.

But being quietly competent won’t get you the job you want (and are worthy of!).

You’re 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 to own that you’re good at what you do — because you are and future employers will be lucky to have you.

7️⃣ 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩.

You were raised to be self-sufficient. To figure it out. To avoid bothering others.

But we humans are social beings who like to connect, talk about our passions and help.

You’re 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 to ask others for help – you’re giving them the chance to connect and be useful.

Giving yourself permission is not easy.

But if you don’t give yourself permission to create the future you want, who will?

A career change is "...never just about your job or your title. It's about who you are and who you want to become." 

Ashley Rudolph sums up exactly why she and I are so passionate about helping people make intentional, strategic career shifts - while not jumping too soon or overstaying your welcome.

Have you ever found yourself caught between what is and what could be? 

That in-between place, where you feel deep down that change is necessary, but the next step is anything but clear? 

It’s tough because it’s never just about your job or your title. It’s about who you are and who you want to become.
