It feels like a privilege that I finally have the opportunity to praise and speak to the success of…read moremy experience with Plum Coaching--I called Lora expecting a fairly transactional conversation about costs and expectations, but I decided to move forward because she genuinely listened to the specifics of my situation. In summary: I was seeking new opportunities in my field of UX design, had built an impressive portfolio but was consistently failing to communicate my work in a way that resonated with hiring managers. I had gone through 12 unsuccessful interviews before I decided it was time to seek some professional and objective advice. What I appreciated most about the mock interview with Lora was that she never tried to steer me away from being myself...she gave me practical tools to make sure that I was able to speak on my own behalf and recognize the intention behind every interview question. Long story short, I found myself with an offer letter about three weeks after our session in a role that is perfect for my professional development. If you're in a tough or confusing spot, don't make decisions based on the cost of services--just find someone who you trust that understands your goals and needs and it will pay off a thousand times in the future. Plum served that purpose for me and I can't reccomend their services highly enough.

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.

Update: I believe the owner has handled this situation with arrogance and intimidation. Yes, we…read moresigned the papers--It doesn't surprise me that he would try to rehash everything publicly rather than take some constructive criticism. I only intended to leave an honest review of our experience with IBA. I stand by my one-star review. As our broker, their job was to represent us and get us the best deal possible--not just push a deal through. The buyers already had their own agent. It became clear that closing the transaction quickly was the priority--not our best interests. That's not just poor service--it's unethical. Mortgage lenders need to know whether they're financing a home or a business. Blurring those lines to push a deal through isn't just questionable--it's potentially harmful. We were not properly represented, and we paid the price for it. I recently posted an honest review about my experience with IBA and noticed they still have a 5-star rating. I probably wouldn't have checked back--except I received a letter from an attorney representing IBA. Here's what it said: "They are chagrined that you posted an online review of IBA suggesting otherwise, and we demand that you remove the review you recently made of IBA NW Business Brokers on Google." To be clear, I shared a truthful account of my own personal experience. I did not name the broker involved, nor did I exaggerate any details. It was a simple, honest, one-star review summarizing what was, for me, a very disappointing experience. I don't appreciate being pressured to remove it. A company that can't accept fair criticism without resorting to legal threats raises serious concerns. There are many business brokers in the Northwest--I'd encourage others to do their research and choose one who values transparency and accountability. Original review: I recently worked with a broker from IBA to sell our business and home together, as the business operated on our property. My daughter and I had one chance to sell the small business we built and dedicated ourselves to for ten years, and unfortunately, we were met with disregard and a lack of respect throughout the entire process. The very first interested buyers ended up purchasing it. While it turned out to be a great deal for them, it was not in our best interest. We felt misled and unsupported from start to finish. If you're a small business owner, I would strongly caution against using this firm. In our experience, their practices were misleading and did not prioritize our needs as sellers.

If you try to direct deposit, Venmo, Paypal etc. they take off $7. The virtual card expires in 6 months, meaning if you don't spend your payment in 6 months, the money disappears!!! And guess what? Only a few places allow you to split payments across multiple cards, so good luck buying stuff that costs exactly the amount on your card. Total scam. They also made us come in at 7am, but didn't start until close to 9am. Totally disrespectful of other people's time. Took up 12 hours of my time for $343 (they do not tell you about the deductions upfront) or you can try to get $350 and risk losing it all, because you did not or could not spend it right away.
