The Best Career Coaches in Chicago
Strategic Career Coaching Backed with Expert Local Market Insight
At Mindful Career, we don’t just serve clients in Chicago—we understand the city. As one of the most diverse economic hubs in North America, Chicago is home to a workforce of over 4.5 million, with thriving sectors in finance, logistics, manufacturing, tech, healthcare, and education. Yet despite the abundance of opportunity, many professionals still find themselves stuck—applying to endless roles with little response or navigating career paths that no longer feel aligned.
That’s where we step in.
Our team of career psychologists, behavioral strategists, and certified job search experts are based in Chicago and deeply attuned to what’s actually happening in the market. We analyze real-time labor market data, track emerging industry trends, and understand the hiring behaviors of local employers—from Fortune 500s headquartered downtown to the growing startup and remote-friendly ecosystem in Fulton Market and beyond.
We know that job boards don’t tell the full story. In Chicago, roles are often filled through targeted networking, internal mobility, and culture-fit referrals. That’s why our approach is both strategic and psychological—we map your unique behavioral profile to the roles, work environments, and companies that fit who you really are, not just what’s on your resume.
Whether you’re pivoting careers, re-entering the workforce, or gunning for a promotion, we help you build a Chicago-informed career roadmap—one that connects your purpose to local demand, and your potential to real opportunities.

About us
Our Mission
Our mission is to help you find a career that fits your unique strengths, personality, and lifestyle to create a life of clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Work shapes how we see ourselves, how we feel day to day, and how we show up in the world. When your career is out of alignment, it doesn’t just affect your job, it impacts your energy, mental health, and relationships.
At Mindful Career, we help you change that. Through a powerful blend of behavioral science, clinical psychology, and holistic self-discovery, we uncover the role, path, or leadership track that truly fits your mind, your values, and your future. Because when your career reflects your true self, it’s not just fulfilling, it’s transformative.
My Story: Miriam Groom, CEO
Ten years ago, I hit rock bottom and that experience changed everything. Each morning was a reminder of how far I’d drifted from myself. I was burned out, depressed, and disconnected. I searched for support, but every solution felt surface-level. No one really saw me or knew how to help me find work that truly 'fit'. So I built what I needed. I went back to school, became an Organizational Psychologist and created a framework that blends holistic guidance, behavioural profiling with advanced psychometrics. It worked! Today, those frameworks are the foundation of Mindful Career. They've helped over 10,000 people reconnect with who they are and find careers that finally fulfills them.
If you’re feeling lost, I’ve been there. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
