Meet Melissa
I believe that if you spend about 80,000 hours at your jobs over the course of your working life, you deserve to thrive professionally.
After years of changing roles, professions (4 times!) and cities, I have finally found my calling. I love to support mid-career professionals in Switzerland and beyond to find and grow a career they love.
You've built a career. Now you're ready for what's next. Let's build it together.
If you're a mid-career professional in Switzerland or overseas figuring out your next move, whether that's restarting after a break, wanting to try something new, or stepping up into a bigger role, you're in the right place.
I'm Melissa Birchler, a certified career and Gallup Strengths Coach. I know this journey first-hand. I've lived it myself as an international woman in Switzerland, which is why I founded Birchler Career Consulting.
I combine strengths-based coaching with practical career and personal branding strategies that actually work in the Swiss job market. I also bring insights from:
my Masters in Career Counselling (in progress) at the ZHAW
more than 200 hours of ICF-accredited coach training
my outplacement work with global firm LHH
years of experience as a Senior PR and Communication Strategist.
Read about my own return-to-work journey through the Bring Women Back to Work program and upskilling through the University of St Gallen`s Women Back to Business program.
