About - Sheldrake Consulting

Monica Marcelis Fochtman, PhD, CPRW, CCTC
Founder, Sheldrake Consulting

I built my business after seeing a consistent pattern among highly capable, accomplished women: they were under-representing their own value.

Their résumés read like job descriptions instead of strategic narratives. Their accomplishments were buried. And their job search strategies hadn’t evolved to match the level they had reached.

I knew there was a better way—and that the gap wasn’t in their experience, but in how they were positioning it.

I help senior and rising leaders articulate their value at the level they’re already operating—so they can move forward with clarity, confidence, and precision.

As a Certified Career Transition Coach (CCTC) and Certified Résumé Writer (CPRW) with over a decade of experience, I’ve worked with professionals across industries to translate their experience into positioning that opens doors.

My approach is both strategic and practical: I don’t just help you define your narrative—I ensure it’s reflected clearly and powerfully in how you show up in the room, in conversation, and on paper.

How I Work

This work is designed to be efficient, high-touch, and fully handled.

I don’t rely on templates or ask you to spend hours trying to articulate your own career.

Instead, I extract what matters—quickly identifying the patterns, decisions, and impact that define your leadership—and translate that into clear, executive-level positioning.

You won’t be navigating this alone.

You’ll have a structured, strategic process that results in materials you can use immediately and with confidence.

What This Looks Like

The result:

✔ A clear, executive-level narrative that reflects the full scope of your expertise
✔ Résumé, LinkedIn, and/or board materials aligned to your level of leadership
✔ The ability to engage in conversations and opportunities without hesitation
✔ The confidence of knowing you’re accurately represented

Depending on your needs, this may include:

Executive résumé
LinkedIn profile
Board bio or executive summary
Supporting materials aligned to your next move

Next Steps

If this has been sitting on your “to-do” list longer than it should, the next step is simple.

Schedule an Executive Positioning Consultation.

This is a focused, 30-minute conversation where we’ll assess your current positioning and determine what’s needed to bring it in line with your level of leadership.

No extensive preparation required.

I work with a limited number of clients at a time to ensure a high level of precision and discretion.
