I hadn't had to create a resume in well over 20 years, Heidi organized my mish mash of information and created a well-organized resume that demonstrated my experience and skills. When I read it, I was in awe of myself, which was a necessary, much needed boost to my self-confidence. Heidi not only provided professional support, but through my work with her I realized that I do bring a great deal to the employment table. In fact, I secured a new opportunity that I am thrilled about. I can't recommend Heidi enough.

Heidi went above and beyond what was discussed and I cannot be happier with my resume. I have a new career opportunity and I owe it to her. She took my information provided and laid it out in a way that I could never fathom. She is fast, she is detailed and she followed through with a bang on her delivery. I applied at two positions that I was interested in, and both got back to me within a half an hour and I am happy to stay that I have accepted a new position and am looking forward to my future. Heidi, thank you for everything. I will forever refer people to you in order to brighten their future. If I could give 100 stars, I would have no hesitation.

I had a career journey that was a bit different and Lucas gave me the confidence to put my best self out there.

I toyed with the idea of making a drastic career change but was paralyzed with indecision for a while. I figured I should probably find a professional career coach to help me get some clarity, and that is when I met Lucas. Lucas took the time to really try and understand my career situation, so that we could formulate a plan that was unique to me. We started with career aptitude tests which helped me learn more about myself. We defined and prioritized my career goals, and explored the many paths I could take to reach them. Also, Lucas is a resume magician, transforming my plain, wordy resume into a much more impressive, concise one. He also helped me with my LinkedIn profile which I appreciate since I am a total LinkedIn newbie. He basically did almost everything he could to set me up for success. I highly recommend Lucas whether you are starting out in your career or changing your current career path. He can provide the support, insight, and accountability to help you achieve your goals.
