BACKGROUND

ABOUT US

I’m Patricia Lelis, Founder of Career Pivot Point, Life & Career Transition Coach, and mom of teens. With 20+ years as a lawyer and 5+ years coaching, I’ve helped mid-career professionals pivot with confidence and guided students in securing internships, jobs, and scholarships. As an ICF-ACC Certified Coach and NLP Master Practitioner, I blend mindset transformation with practical career strategies.

I’ve seen talented professionals feel stuck in unfulfilling careers and ambitious students struggle to showcase their strengths. That’s why I created Reinventing Yourself, a program to help professionals break free from uncertainty and realign their careers with purpose, and Get H.I.R.E.d., a hands-on program that builds students’ confidence, communication skills, and personal branding to open doors to new opportunities.

Patricia coaching was instrumental in helping me define my values and achieve my goals. She was a dedicated accountability partner, enthusiastic cheerleader, and inspiring driver, consistently pushing me toward progress. With Patricia's support, I successfully created and launched "A Full Life Course”, an in-person and virtual workshop series, and even had the opportunity to teach it at Google and MIT. Her coaching was truly transformative in expanding and reaching my professional and personal aspirations.​

Patricia has a unique way of guiding the process—making me feel comfortable while also challenging me to grow. Each session brought clarity, confidence, and ideas that reshaped my path.

I loved how Patricia tailored her approach to each challenge we worked on. The personalized workbooks pushed me to explore new ideas I never would have considered on my own. Patricia is approachable, flexible, patient, and encouraging—but she also knew when to challenge me, especially when I wanted to hide or was afraid to open up. Most importantly, she taught me how to be kind to myself. Thank you, Patricia, for your guidance and support!
