Translate your skills into
career currency.
Hi. I’m Luisa Surma.
I help turn your skills into valuable assets for new careers.
At 32, I took a bold leap from teaching high school English for 10 years to the corporate world landing global roles at Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Wix.
Over the last six years, I helped global onboarding programs decrease time to revenue by 19%
and my workshops average a 95% confidence boost in participants' skills and career readiness.
By stepping out of my comfort zone, I realized my teaching skills, communication, leadership, and adaptability, were transferable and valuable to other companies and industries.
I help you warmup by building career currency, the vital skills and experiences that make you valuable to employers.
