Career Coach & Transition Strategist
Dominique Carter founded The Career Shift to give mid-career professionals the clarity and confidence to make bold moves without burning everything down to do it. After spending a decade in HR and talent development, she saw firsthand how many capable people stayed stuck in the wrong role simply because they didn’t know where to begin.
Today she works with clients nationwide, helping them identify what they actually want, build a strategy to get there, and show up prepared at every step of the process. Whether you’re leaving corporate, switching industries, or finally betting on yourself, Dominique brings the structure and support to make it real.

“I came to Dominique feeling completely lost after 12 years of teaching. Within three months I had a clear plan, a polished resume, and two job offers in a field I actually care about. Dominique is not just a coach; she believes in you until you learn to believe in yourself.”
