DIY Career Mastery Club
Your executive career.
Powered by you.
Supported by us.
We help you move from “I want to take control of my career and create an epic work experience” to “I’ve got this handled” – quickly and confidently. Save time, money and frustration as you grow.
People say the job search is simple and a career should be easy to manage. And it is…until it’s not. Then what?
Whether you’re on your own with your job search and career progression by choice or by circumstance, odds are, you’re going to run into a challenge and need some support. Google is great for finding answers…until you find 10 conflicting answers to the same question. Then what? How do you know which is the “right” answer for you?
No wonder people get stuck and end up frustrated!
Finding and landing your right fit next role can be so overwhelming. Developing and nurturing your own career can be so frustrating. There is so much to understand, so much to learn… and so darn many choices! Simple tasks too often become complex headaches. You want to do things the right way – the first time around. You’re tired of trial-and-error and unnecessary delays.
Whether managing your career or job search, wouldn’t it be nice to have…
someone to brainstorm with? Because you surely don’t want to reinvent any wheels.
strategies and tactics for the best way to go about what you’re trying to do? You know…so you don’t make a mess of things or take the long way around unnecessarily.
an experienced expert to look things over when you’re done? Just to ensure you didn’t miss something or paint yourself into a corner without knowing it.
I feel your pain.
Hi, I’m Lori Howard of Lori Howard Coaching. I’ve worked with many hundreds of clients over the years to find and land their right fit next role, and increase their income, impact, and visibility. And I’ve provided thousands of hours of executive leadership coaching, training, and support.
When I started out as a Software Developer, there was very little career help available, and even less in tech. I learned a lot of lessons the hard way, and began to share that knowledge with anyone who asked. I worked my way to Vice President reporting to the CIO.
Then, in 2007, out of frustration with my own experience of having to figure it all out on my own over the years, I developed a strengths-based system that worked so I could help leaders in tech just like you identify and land their perfect fit next role quickly and with ease.
Since 2007, I’ve used and optimized this process exclusively with 1-on-1 private clients. Now, in 2024, I’m making this available to the DIY Career Mastery Club.
Let’s kick overwhelm to the curb — together!
"Lori’s super power is understanding people and helping them market their talents in order to attain their goals. Her wonderfully supportive personality provides a safe space to explore the tough but necessary questions."

DIY Career Mastery Club makes getting the help you need affordable and predictable.
You’ve got goals. But maybe your plan is a little thin because you don’t know all your options.
Decisions you make today can affect your options tomorrow. Look at that list above. There are so many choices, not just with what to do, but how to do it.
As a Club member, you can discuss your strategy and choices (and their consequences) with us before you start…so you know what you’re getting into and don’t end up having to start over.
What if you prefer an individual, private consultation?
Not a problem! You may not want to discuss some sensitive topics in front of others or you might be in a time crunch…and that’s ok. Though individual, private consults are not included in your membership, you can schedule one when you need to…and you’ll get priority scheduling and a 20% discount as long as you’re a Club member. Get into action quickly.
And what if you decide you don’t want to do it all yourself?
No worries! You can pick and choose the parts you want to handle yourself, and we’ll do the rest…at a discount. Yes, you read that correctly. You get a 20% discount on done-for-you services as long as you’re a Club member. You’re in charge of how much “do it yourself” is right for you.
"In the rapidly evolving job market, senior executives face unique challenges in navigating their career trajectories—challenges that even the most advanced AI cannot fully address. Lori offers deep understanding, insights, and unparalleled guidance into the most effective strategies for career advancement."
