I help high achievers break corporate dependence and build beautiful Portfolio Careers for freedom, family and finances.

I help high achieving professionals BREAK corporate dependence and build Self-Directed Lives.
I believe that to transform our circumstances, we have to BREAK what's not working, on purpose. And do it smartly.

My Career Design Lab is where your golden handcuffs and unfulfilling career go to die, and where we reimagine work aligned with who you want to be, who you want to serve and what legacy you want to leave.

Like you:
I know what it's like to be burned out, unfulfilled and secretly DYING for new opportunities. 
I know what it's like to seek my identity and self worth from a job only to realize the mirage.
I know what it's like to sacrifice my health and family for "achievement."

The difference is I did something about it.

In 2018, work wasn't working for me, so I broke it and methodically designed a new life with intention.
I used my job as an investor in my future. I figured out my advantages and then built a side business that I took to full time corporate exit, then scaled to over $1m in revenue.

I built an entire process to help me figure out my re-invented career and now I use that to help other corporate pros smartly build futures that are Self-Directed, intentional and successful - that is my purpose.

Previous, my career spanned:

Financial Futures and Derivatives Trading
3 Startups
Freelance Consulting
Corporate Innovation

I infuse major lessons from these unique experiences to help you craft a dynamic, portfolio career that is adaptable, intentional, purpose driven and never dependent on the whims of corporate structures.

Did you know you spend a third of your life working?

While many believe a job is just a job, I firmly believe that your career should be something you actually enjoy—and I’m here to help you make that a reality.

I’m Eliana, a career coach for ambitious yet unfulfilled mid-career professionals. My mission is to help you build a career that helps you cancel the extreme Sunday Scaries.

Before stepping into coaching, I spent a decade in sales within the Ad-Tech industry, successfully climbing the corporate ladder. I landed each role through strategic relationship-building (no endless online applications here!) and grew my salary by over 430% in just a few years. But despite my success on paper, I felt disconnected from my work, lacked confidence in my abilities, and ultimately burned out. That moment became my turning point—I realized that I didn’t have to settle. I could choose a different path, and so can you.

In November of 2019, I launched Eliana Goldstein Coaching and developed The Career Upgrade Framework—a proven 4-step process designed to help professionals gain career clarity and build careers they’re actually excited about on Monday mornings.

Since then, my team of nine expert coaches and I have helped thousands of mid-career professionals successfully transition into new career paths or accelerate their growth in their current roles. Our industry-agnostic approach has led our clients to land incredible opportunities—with an average salary increase of 20%.

Our clients have landed roles at:
Meta, American Express, Twilio, Peloton, Deloitte, DraftKings, Workday, Accenture, JP Morgan, and many more.

Most people spend months, sometimes years, stuck between
“Maybe I just need a break” and
“Maybe I need a completely new direction.”

That in-between space is exhausting. It keeps you second-guessing yourself and unsure what step actually makes sense next.

Whether it’s burnout, the wrong role, or both, real progress starts with getting clear on what you actually want and what to do about it.

That’s exactly what I’m covering in my upcoming live masterclass. 

In 60 minutes, I’ll walk you through a proven framework to help you move forward with clarity instead of confusion, plus live Q&A to answer your biggest career questions.

One of the most common questions I get from clients and job seekers is whether cover letters are actually worth the effort. The answer is: it depends.

I recently had the chance to talk about this on the #GetHired Hotline, where Andrew Seaman and I discussed when a cover letter can strengthen your application and when your time is better spent elsewhere.

If you’d like your own job search or career question answered live, keep an eye out for the next Hotline session through LinkedIn Premium.

And a quick thank you to the team at LinkedIn News for helping bring these conversations to life. I’m always grateful for the work that happens behind the scenes.

If you’ve been thinking about changing careers but don’t want to start from zero, this training is for you.

I’m hosting a free live session next week on How to Change Careers Without Starting Over — designed for professionals who feel like their old playbook just isn’t working anymore.

In this 60-minute interactive session, we’ll cover:
 • How to figure out what kind of change you actually need
 • Why your current approach may not be working in today’s competitive job market, and what to adjust
 • How to position your past experience so it makes sense to hiring managers, even if your path isn’t linear

How to Change Careers Without Starting Over

A few months ago, Erin was laid off and questioning everything.

Today, she's a CFO.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧:

When the layoff hit, Erin's instinct was to do what most people do.

Start applying, cast a wide net and just get something moving.

But she stopped herself because she knew that approach would likely land her in the same situation she'd just left - a role she had outgrown.

So instead of reacting, she got intentional.

She got clear on what she actually wanted, not just a job, but a progression in her career journey at the right company, doing work she could grow into.

She learned how to position her experience to tell the right story. And at a senior level, this isn't optional, it's everything. Hiring managers aren't just evaluating your skills. They're evaluating whether your narrative makes sense for where they need to go and what their challenges are.

And when the right opportunity came along, she didn't just take the offer.

She negotiated it and walked away with a salary that reflected her actual worth.

𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘺.

If you're in a similar place right now, laid off, burned out, or just knowing something needs to change...

I'm hosting a free live masterclass tomorrow and Thursday to walk you through how to approach your next move the way Erin did.
