Testimonials

[My consultant] is fantastic. She provided tremendous support during a somewhat challenging time. Her advice was always on point and her insight was extremely valuable over the months after I started my new job. Her professionalism, patience, perspective, experience and reassuring encouragement made all the difference. Five Stars and thank you so very much

My consultant and I recently worked together in preparation for my upcoming job transition... My transformational shift in thinking over the past few months has been remarkable, and transcends the initial purpose of our engagement. I have greater clarity and focus, and I am equipped to evaluate opportunities based on how they relate to my values. I will use the tools and teachings that my consultant provided for years to come.

One of the unintended gifts that came from my unemployment was the opportunity to be coached by my consultant. She is both incredibly knowledgeable and also incredibly supportive. She did such a great job of building a rapport with me and being supportive during a low time (the early stages of being unemployed). There are peaks and valleys while being unemployed, and she was great at knowing in the moment when I was at the peak and she could push, or when I was in the valley and not ready to be pushed. Also, she is so knowledgeable; she gave me so many practical and strategic tips.

"My consultant was able to gently coax me toward successful completion of my STARS without making me feel pressured or stressed. Once complete, she worked with me to hone my message with insightful feedback, guidance and advice. It was an illuminating exercise and she really helped me to breakdown my skill set and recognize the successes in my career. It's obvious she enjoys helping others and has been a wonderful, thoughtful, inspirational source of energy and enthusiasm for me during this time."

"My consultant was an "anchor" for me, someone I could always go to when I had any doubts or questions about how to approach my job search. She helped me stay focused and strengthen my confidence in preparation for interviews. Her coaching was also incredibly valuable during my job offer negotiations."
