Hi, I’m Faith.
Welcome to Esper Collective, home of all things soft skills.*
*Soft skills include: verbal & written communication, leadership, strategy & storytelling, networking & interviewing, and more
My Approach
Goals-oriented
If we don’t have clarity on the goal, we can’t prioritize appropriately to drive value. But once that goal’s defined? We can build a path to achieve it through consistent, achievable, tangible actions. (It’s a lot more fun that way too).
Interdisciplinary
We live & work best when we’re pursuing opportunities at the intersection of our interests, however different they may be. I bring perspectives (and soft skills!) gained from experiences as diverse as mechanical engineering and Slavic literature, or writing books and management consulting.
Authentic
It’s possible to be professional, successful, and still yourself - and it often ends up both more enjoyable and working better than the alternative. At the same time, not every strategy will work for you, and that’s okay. We don’t know until we try.
Individual 1:1 coaching & guidance
Join interviews with confidence. Lead teams with finesse. Obtain soft skills for life (always there in your back pocket). Figure out what you want, build a plan to get it, and live how you’ve always dreamed.
Services
Business & strategic advising
Solve sticky business problems and reach your goals. Prioritize what actually matters and deliver on your business vision. Hire your next superstar. Implement, revise, learn, & succeed.
Workshops & custom requests
Walk out of a workshop with a new community and practical strategies you’ve already put to the test. Discuss with me something else (creative, interdisciplinary, out-of-the-box ideas welcome here!)

I had the privilege of working one-on-one with Faith while building out my team. Her guidance and expertise were absolutely essential to my success. She provided me with invaluable guidance for navigating the challenges of leadership and team dynamics. I truly couldn’t have done it without her. Faith is a game-changer, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to elevate their skills and achieve tangible results.

I am a tech nerd. I only speak code and Python libraries, and if you are too, you'd know that doesn't fly in the real world. Faith masters the art of communication and masters the art of teaching it in all its forms! All it took was two sessions and a couple of coffee chats with Faith, and I was, for the first time, picking up a skill I always knew I needed but was never successful at learning. Her sessions are so intuitive, exciting, and swift!
Here's a story: one time I was stressing over my resume for 3+ months. I had a 30-minute meeting with Faith. My resume came out 10x stronger, and I got 4 responses literally a week after. END OF STORY!
If you're a tech nerd like me applying for jobs, or an aspiring entrepreneur trying to sweet-talk VCs, or whatever it is literally, Faith is exactly who you need in your corner. She’ll help you crack the code of communication just as smoothly as you debug your programs!

Faith values relationships, and that’s what means the most. I reconnected with Faith after 2 years of first meeting each other.
I got my dream job offer within 3 months of working with her. The first week, we identified the career goal and game planned how to get there. She coached me A-Z and beyond: with the application materials, crafting and presenting my story to land the interview and then practice to crush the interview!
