Our Story

Momentum exists because starting from scratch is exhausting.

We build career infrastructure, practical tools, and systems that help people document their work, decide objectively which roles, promotions, or pivots to pursue, and move forward with clarity.

Founded by Wendi Turner and Traci Thompson

Momentum Career Solutions was founded after years of navigating careers, transitions, and high-stakes decisions without reliable personal systems.

The Pattern We Kept Seeing

Over the years, we’ve worked across workforce development, education, program leadership, and systems-building roles. Between us, we bring 25+ years of experience and have supported more than 5,000 people at very different stages—from recent graduates landing their first role to mid-career professionals navigating layoffs, pivots, and career changes.

One pattern kept showing up

People were capable.
They were doing meaningful work.
But they were not documenting it.

Momentum exists for a simple reason: we got tired of starting from scratch

The Insight

Career growth often depends less on talent and more on how well you can articulate your value at the right moment.

Yet most people are never taught how to track their work, capture results, or prepare intentionally for what comes next.

We’ve seen talented professionals lose promotions to less-qualified candidates who simply had better documentation. We’ve watched people accept lowball offers because they could not recall their own accomplishments. We’ve witnessed layoffs where individuals could not quickly assemble proof of their value.

The problem wasn't ability. It was infrastructure

Our Belief

Our belief is simple

Coaching can provide valuable perspective, but lasting career clarity requires systems—tools that help you document your work, make sound decisions, and move forward on your own terms.

That's why we don't coach. We build systems you own forever.

What Momentum Builds

Momentum builds tools that help you:

• Document your work as it happens - Capture that successful project while the details are fresh, not six months later when you're scrambling to update your resume

• Track results, metrics, and progress - Know exactly how much revenue you generated, how many processes you improved, or how many people you trained

• Evaluate opportunities objectively - Score job offers against your actual priorities instead of making emotional decisions under pressure

• Prepare for interviews before you need them - Walk in with documented proof instead of vague talking points

• Articulate your value with evidence - Show concrete impact, not just responsibilities

This work is personal. Momentum is the company we needed years ago—a source of clear structure, honest insight, and tangible tools that turn career management into a repeatable process grounded in evidence and sound decisions.

Build your career infrastructure once — and reuse it for life.

Why This Matters

When opportunities came — interviews, promotions, layoffs, or pivots — people were forced to scramble, reconstruct their experience, or undersell themselves.

We saw this happen not just to others, but to ourselves.
