Over a year ago I was not doing well at work. I was recommended to seek out a Career Coach. Little…read moredid I know how helpful Shawn was. Shawn was beyond helpful! He helped me from struggling to getting a promotion! In one year! He is always prepared for every meeting and remembers everything we talk about. It didn't feel like a meeting with a coach/therapist. It felt like I was catching up with an old friend. I will more than likely continue my work with Shawn, not because I have to, but because I want to. Thank you so much for your help and support Shawn!

About a year or so ago I was searching for a career coach to help me find "the work I was meant to…read moredo". Prior to working with Shawn, I thought that a career coach would assess my skills and then tell me what role/job I should do. Very quickly, I learned that that was not how the process worked and I couldn't be happier to have been wrong. Shawns' process helped me uncover what truly makes me happy, what kind of team I want to be a part of, what kind of organization I want to be a part of, and most importantly what job responsibilities would make me happy on a daily basis. For anyone looking to get a better understanding of their skills and job desires and use that knowledge to find a role that fits what you're looking for, then I'd recommend working with Shawn. While I found Shawn via Yelp, I also found a handful of other career coaches on the platform. I chose Shawn due to his business background and the fact that he was a true "Career Coach". I had a business background so it felt like a good fit and I was looking for a "career" specific coach versus a "Life/Career" coach. I worked with Shawn (In-person - I used to live in Seattle) for ~6 sessions. He broke down each session ahead of time so I knew what work I had to accomplish before our meetings and what to expect to talk about in our meetings. The work was challenging and thought provoking, but it really helped me discover my skills, shortcomings, non-negotiable and ultimately led me to the work that I wanted to do. He helped me define what I was looking for in a role, including: team structure, day-to-day responsibilities, environment, reporting structure, and more. He helped me gain confidence that even though I didn't have a background in design, I had inherent skills and aptitudes for the field. One year removed for working with Shawn, I landed a new role in a new career. Shawn helped me find a career path and happiness in my work. Working with Shawn really helped me understand my abilities and clearly define what I was looking for. Once I was able to define my ideal role, I was able to go out and get it. All in all Shawn was a major asset to helping me find the role I'm currently in. I would recommend him to anyone searching for a career coach. Just know, the work is hard but very rewarding!!!!

I think that's very important when selecting a coach. I had made a lot of assumptions about the next step in my career. Kathryn helped me explore the rational and logic behind these assumptions. I learned just how much they were limiting my options. That was a big eye opener for me. Further, she pushed me to think about many other important factors about my next job that I was not really considering. Once we figured out the type of roles that excited me, we focused on tactical strategies to reach out to potential employers. My networking skills were already good, but she helped sharpen them further. Last week, I started a job that I am very excited about and I am very thankful to Kathryn for all the help.

Thanks, David!

Sara is a genuine caring person and an excellent listener. She is entirely present while working with you and she will work hard to understand who you are, your goals, struggles, and how to help you overcome. After every session she writes a detailed recap of what you discussed and what you will work on until the next session. She is so intuitive, intelligent, and open-hearted. She is easy to talk to and you will feel a true bond with her knowing her heart is rooting for you. It's been five years and I still think about all she taught me and I am still moved by how much she cares about others and their success.

She also specializes in launching new business coaching. As my options for expanding my own career continue, I will definitely reach out to Maggie for advice. Maggie is one of the few coaches out there that lets you craft your own needs list and gives you a reduced rate for the first month. Some of the coaches make you buy a package of stuff you don't necessarily need. Like for instance I had my resume pretty well set and I was getting job interviews so I didn't need to "buy" a $300 resume overhaul. Maggie worked with me and let me work with her in a way that best suited my needs. Really appreciated that, especially when funds are tight.

Know what you love to do, but not sure how to make a living at it? Not sure what you're meant to do, but you know it's not what you're doing now? Have passion & ideas but need direction & structure? I want to help you identify and refine your dream job/business so you can live the fulfilled life that you deserve! I thrive from working with people who have an idea (or many ideas) of what their calling may be, but are not sure how to turn that into a career/business, or are fearful of taking that leap. I work with a practice of exploration, conquering fear and self-sabotage through small, manageable steps, and consistency balanced with revision and adjustment. I excel with clients who want to make a difference in the world and seek heart-centered work. My clients typically seek life balance that incorporates movement, spirituality, and/or holistic health approaches.
