About Your Coach
LaToya Whatley is an HR professional with more than 20 years of experience in compliance, recruitment, and training — and founder of WhatleyHR. After years of sitting on the employer side of the table, she noticed something: talented professionals were being overlooked not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked access to how the process really works.
That realization is what drives her coaching today. LaToya works with individuals stepping into the workforce, navigating career transitions, and pushing toward the next level. She brings the insider knowledge of an HR veteran and the genuine joy of someone who loves watching people unlock their potential.
She's not just a coach. She's the guide she wishes more people had.

What to expect on the call
Booking a free consultation call is the first step, and we want you to feel completely at ease going into it. Here's how it works:
We start with you.
LaToya will ask about where you are in your career right now, what's feeling hard, and what you're hoping to change. No scripts, no sales pitch, just an honest conversation.
We talk about where you want to go.
Together, you'll explore what success actually looks like for you, whether that's a new job, more confidence in your current role, or a clearer path forward.
We figure out next steps together.
By the end of the call, you'll have a clearer picture of how coaching could support your goals and whether this is the right fit. No pressure, no obligation.
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not sure I'm ready for coaching. Is this call still for me?
Absolutely. The consultation call exists exactly for moments like this. You don't need to have everything figured out to show up. LaToya will help you make sense of where you are and whether coaching is a good next step.
How is working with a coach different from just researching career advice online?
Online advice is general. Coaching is personal. LaToya brings more than 20 years of HR experience to every session, which means the guidance you receive is tailored to your specific situation, goals, and industry, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
What kinds of professionals do you work with?
We work with professionals at all stages, from those entering the workforce for the first time to seasoned professionals navigating transitions or pursuing leadership roles. If you have career goals, there's a place for you here.
What happens after the discovery call?
If it feels like a good fit, LaToya will walk you through coaching options that align with your goals and budget. There is no obligation to commit on the call.
