Laura's great insight into how we go sideways reveals our truth to each other. I'm blessed to have a partner who's willing to forgive me when I'm a jack a--, reacting from fear and doubt instead of trust and love. Laura's awareness of how our Enneagram personalities get in our way has helped us get in touch with our souls-- and our souls' desire to connect with each other. It's incredible to think how much we've learned, thanks to Laura's coaching and unwavering support. Five stars aren't enough. I've had very good therapists over the years, but Laura stands out. Clearly she's living her calling, and we are grateful. We highly recommend her.

My husband and I were considering separation at times and now we're stronger than ever.

I feel more grounded, empowered and have more clarity on how I/we can live a joyful life. The time we've had with Laura influences us daily and for that we're so grateful.

She is so invested in the success of her clients, and her observations and ability to distill themes in my own musings helped me focus on my path.

Starting a career in a new field with zero experience is one of the most stressful experiences I've…read morehad. While, I was certain I had the skills, most employers overlook resumes of applicants such as myself who don't have "x years of experience" in a given position. I fancy myself a talented writer and have always thought myself a solid resume writerI started like most people do, revising my resume to the best of my ability using resource sites I found online with sample resumes. There are MANY suggestions, but I found there really is no definitive consensus for what is going to catch an employers eye. Ignoring the warnings, I pushed forward submitting the resume I wrote in hopes of landing a job that will get me the position I need to build a successful resume. The response to my self-written resume was dissappointing to say the least. With flexibility in my personal life, I submitted resumes to at least 15 different companies in 3 cities and received ZERO responses. Not even one. That's extraordinarily discouraging for someone who feels they just need to get into the room to land just a temp or contract position. I was brought close to tears at the thought of some of the reports I read of people finding introductory level positions in my field after 1-2 years. I was unable and unwilling to wait that long so I had to change something. I couldn't get my foot in the door so I needed a resume expert. I did quite a bit of research on which company wrote the best resumes. I considered top google results, but they had, almost universally, one complaint: the writing seemed outsourced. I almost pulled the trigger on a particular option that seemed "good enough" before, while yelping, I discovered Career Magic. I liked the idea of supporting someone local. There's an added measure of confidence seeing that Tracy is based in the United States, that she brings legitimate qualifications to the table and that she offers a personalized experience. I took the plunge, shot here [Tracy] an email to get suggestions on how to move forward with the resume I had already written. She suggested we give editing by email (the entry level job seeker level) a shot, so I purchased this package and we got to work. Yes, there is some small work required on your part such as sending her sample job postings and answering questions, but this is MINIMAL compared to the benefits her work provides. After 3 or so days, I received the first draft and was blown away by the changes she had already made. My resume had entirely new formatting complete with revised sections and a comprehensive list of my own qualifications which we worked through together. We emailed back and forth several times before the final draft was completed, making changes to various items until we had a satisfactory final product. I finally got my tears, in the form of sheer joy of looking at what she had produced and the potential it might bring. In addition to my resume, I also had her compose a cover letter for a particular position that interested me which was PERFECT and thoroughly researched by Tracy. Perhaps, most importantly, she attached a .pdf called "Filling the Pipeline" which I followed to a "T." The results were darn near miraculous. I applied for 8 jobs over a 7-day period and received responses from SEVEN of the eight employers including one that I thought was the perfect position for my career. The end result was, I turned down two positions based on red flags and landed what essentially amounts to a dream entry-level position with potential for advancement. The best part? It wasn't contract, it wasn't temp to hire, it was a full time position with a very thorough interview process. It was, the most amazing feeling after going through a job-hunt roller coaster before I found Tracy. I don't write many reviews because, quite frankly, my opinion of things don't get swayed severely enough one way or the other. But this is different. This is your career and your future. If you want THAT job. Even if you just need A job. If you are stuck in a rut in your current position. No matter what field you are in or are looking to get into, I suggest you use Tracy's services. Not for her benefit, but for your own. Best of luck with your job search!

I just completed Katie's "Delivering Fearless Feedback" course, a 3-day (spanned over three weeks)…read morevirtual course. Why didn't I take it sooner? From start to finish, the experience was five stars. Katie personally reached out to follow-up with me before starting the course (after hearing from my manager I had some interest... thank you! I needed that!), my materials arrived on time, the online portal clearly outlined our three week session; our group size was intimate enough for everyone to actively participate. Katie's methods are authentic and truly come from a place of compassion and professionalism. It speaks to my own values as a person and manager. She has so many great talking points and nuggets of information. (I wish Katie could live in my ear!) But alas, that's impossible, so I'll need to continue to refresh myself on the materials (so grateful for the recordings), and stay in touch with via her newsletter and LinkedIn posts.

I've better understood how to elevate my team and myself. The biggest takeaway for me as a strengths-based leader was that I can center my teams strengths while never sacrificing the ability to build an amazing feedback model. Beyond the class, Katie has helped me elevate myself and overcome my imposter syndrome by giving me real tools that I can use every day. She is a great coach, who cares deeply and she shows it every day. Feedback isn't just a gift, it's a foundation to building a psychologically safe environment that fuels highly effective teams. I highly recommend Katie's services. I wouldn't be the amazing professional I am today without her.

Specifically, she taught me a very helpful framework that would give me clarity into what I wanted next, but also into what I actually needed. Alana thus helped me set clear boundaries and discover what my next step looked like. Once this was clear, one of the most difficult parts of my work was done. Alana is able to play a very personal role in helping you achieve your career goal. She takes her time to listen and understand your inner needs very well before she comes up with a plan. She truly believes that we all have a potential which we can achieve, if we take the right steps to get there. Once Alana understands your inner needs, she is able to easily unlock any personal or professional limitations and help you fulfill your potential by focusing on the specific areas that need action. I would highly recommend Alana to anyone who needs guidance with their career, seeks help regarding the job market, has uncertainties about the psychological part behind getting your dream job, is interested in recruiting -- her knowledge & experience around the area is incredible; or simply getting to know a gifted soul! :)

Alana will take the time to understand you as a person and provide counseling beyond what could be expected of a typical 'HR-type' looking to fill their next open position. With her inside experience she is able to guide your resume, conversation skills, and expectations to highlight your skills and strengths, and help you expose potential employers to the 'you' they really want to meet. This can be difficult for those with 'engineering minds' like myself who tend to be more objective, and Alana definitely helped me step out of that box. Most recently, I worked with Alana to update and improve my resume. After a single session we had completely re-worked one section of my resume to better reflect 'my voice' and clearly state my accomplishments in a way that highlighted my abilities as well as reflecting my personality. The difference from the initial draft I sent her to the final draft I used for interviews is subtle but dramatic, and I am positive it played a role in the callbacks I received. To hand over a resume that truly represents you makes everything that follows more natural, and that is a HUGE deal when making career moves! Beyond the resume, Alana was there to talk out any concerns, nerves, and provide encouragement throughout multiple levels of interviews and offer negotiations, something that can be overwhelming for someone at any level of professional experience. She has helped me aim higher than I would have on my own and provided the insider confidence I needed to push for the best possible outcomes. Could not recommend anyone higher; do yourself and your future a favor and let Alana guide you through your next professional moves.
