Start Here: What CareerComms Is and Who It Is For
Twenty years is a long time to think about one thing.
That is roughly how long I have been living and working in Seoul, teaching at Hanyang University, training corporate teams, coaching professionals through career transitions, and watching what happens when communication works and when it does not.
What I have learned is this: the gap between people who get the opportunities they deserve and people who do not is almost never a skills gap. It is a communication gap. The person who gets the promotion, lands the client, or walks out of the interview with an offer is not always the most qualified person in the room. They are almost always the person who communicated most clearly, most confidently, and most deliberately.
That is what this site is about.
What CareerComms covers
There are eight sections on this site and each one targets a different part of the communication problem.
The Pitch Room is for anyone navigating a job search, career pivot, or professional rebrand. Interviews, personal narratives, LinkedIn, the questions that trip people up and why.
Strategy Desk is for marketing and communications professionals who want sharper thinking on campaigns, briefs, and integrated messaging. The stuff that sits above the tactics.
Signal vs. Noise is where I think out loud about AI, communication ethics, and what it actually means to work and communicate in 2026. Less breathless, more considered.
The Writing Lab is for anyone who wants to write better professionally. Blog posts, emails, reports, the kind of writing that actually gets read.
Seoul Side is the Korean lens. Twenty years in this country has changed how I think about hierarchy, silence, trust, and professional relationships. This section brings that perspective to the surface.
The Briefing is the main feed. Everything lands here.
The Classroom is where the university frameworks go public. The tools I use with students at Hanyang, available outside the lecture hall.
Work With Me is where the site connects to real engagements. Coaching, corporate training, speaking. If anything here resonates, that is where to go next.
A note on the Korean angle
One of the things that makes this site different from the standard career communication content you will find everywhere else is the Seoul lens. Korean professional culture has a lot to teach people who are willing to pay attention.
The concept of 눈치 (nunchi), the ability to read a room and respond to what is not being said, is one of the most practically useful communication skills I have ever encountered. The Korean approach to trust, to hierarchy, to the long game of professional relationships, all of it has shaped how I think about communication in ways that no textbook ever did.
That perspective shows up throughout the site. Not as novelty, but as a genuinely different way of seeing problems that most Western communication frameworks miss entirely.
Where to start
If you are here because of a job search, start with The Pitch Room.
If you are here because of a marketing or communications challenge, start with Strategy Desk.
If you are just curious, start with Seoul Side. It will give you a sense of the voice and the thinking behind everything else here.
And if anything resonates enough that you want to go deeper, the Work With Me page covers what that looks like in practice.
Good to have you here.
