She knows so much about industries, hiring processes, human behavior, and the science of change behavior. I can't even begin to tell you how helpful this is.

I knew what I wanted and where I eventually wanted to go, but without Mary's guidance I don't think I would've had the confidence to take my first step forward. She's helped me see the big picture and chart out a path to attain larger goals. Without her, I strongly believe I wouldn't have the opportunities that I have today. Her insider tips and advice are truly invaluable. Plus, they actually work. If you're willing to put in the effort and ready to make your next move, I highly suggest reaching out to Mary. The long-term benefits are worth every penny. I'm so happy I did!

I would not recommend JobJenny for a custom resume or a cover letter. I had a very specific request…read moreand despite several revisions the resume was a disaster. Regarding the cover letter?

I'm writing a review for the magic that is Job Jenny. As a birthday gift to myself I purchased a…read moreresume. My contract position wasn't going to last forever and my resume needed some serious love. I found JobJenny dot com and she had me at "hello" with her bright yellow website that touted her as a "Job Search BFF and Tough Love Expert on finding your passion." She immediately filled both of those roles for me. After an hour phone consult and a couple business days, there it was... my new and 100x improved resume, fresh off the press. It showcased the same experience and talent my old resume did, but with the style, professionalism and extra oomph it desperately needed. I put my job search in full-swing three weeks ago, and today I received an offer for a position that has "me" written all over it, (only a week and a half out of work). In the process, the resume and the employer-friendly key words it came with brought in a total of 6 or 7 job/phone interviews and countless calls from recruiters. I felt so popular, and the inner monologue of "crap, how am I gonna get a job in this market?" was silenced by my Blackberry ringing off the hook. Jenny's prices for Resumes and Cover Letters are a steal, even for the budget-weary job seeker. Five stars doesn't seem like enough to express my gratitude, so between us Yelpers, consider this a 10 Star review.

I look forward to working with Kristin again, her wisdom and insight have helped me immensely. I highly recommend her for anyone experiencing a career burnout and seeking a new path.

I recently found myself in unfamiliar territory. It was 6:30 in the morning, and I could not get…read moreout of bed. I realize that this is a daily struggle for many people. And I sympathize. But it is not my struggle. Mornings for me, even pitch black mornings where the sun is not expected to make an appearance for hours are my full-blown Cinderella experience with birds chirping at the window and friendly mice selecting my outfit and braiding my hair and telling me I look fabulous now go get this day, girlfriend! I don't linger in bed. Ever. Except recently, I had been doing it more and more often. I knew somewhere in the back of my mind that I was growing increasingly dissatisfied at work. But I was not willing to face that reality or do anything about it. After all, I had been doing similar work for 20 years. And I am good at it. Incessant organization, task mastery, and levitating innumerable balls in the air simultaneously? Piece. Of. Cake. Though with each passing day it was becoming less easy and less interesting and less what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Enter Nurture Life Coaching. I first met with Savannah of Nurture Life Coaching in April. I did not know what to expect. Would this be a regularly scheduled whine-fest where I complained that I did not know what I wanted to do, boo hoo? Would I be signing up for endless weekly sessions where little progress was made? Would I have to learn some entirely new woo-woo vocabulary about inner light and chosen paths? Not. Even. A. Little. After a free initial consultation where we each evaluated whether or not we would work well together, we dove right into our work, which included homework and between-appointment check-ins and immediate progress. Savannah has a great way of helping you focus your thoughts, summon your drive, and find answers to your own questions. She once told me that she helps people see the answer they already know. She challenged some of my core beliefs about what I do and helped me see that making a change was an exciting opportunity, not an indication of failure after 20 years of doing the same thing. And once I was able to see my situation differently, everything else seemed to fall into place. This is not a what's-your-spirit-animal experience. It is hard work. It is evaluative and introspective and difficult. Savannah is an intelligent, focused, and patient professional. She pushes you towards progress each time you meet. She may just change your life.

Investing in coaching from Chris Hayes is one of the best decisions I have made in my career. The…read more3.5 years I have worked with Chris have been by far the most productive, stimulating and fun stretch of my career. Not coincidentally, this run of good form on the career front while working with Chris has contributed to my personal life outside of work being more balanced and satisfying. I signed up for career coaching with Chris at a point in my career where I realized that I needed to own my own professional development as opposed to assuming my current or future manager(s) would have the skill set, interest and available time to make sure I was hitting my professional goals. Chris consistently creates a comfortable and fun space in our meetings that has allowed me to take an honest approach to my professional development and our monthly meetings are always rewarding and useful. In our meetings we strategize around my current goals, dig into problems I'm dealing with at work and flesh out the specific things I'm doing so I can confidently articulate my value. We also laugh a lot! I am grateful to have a coach and champion like Chris to help make sure I successfully navigate all the twists and turns, highs and low's of my professional journey. If you are curious about whether or not to explore career coaching, I highly recommend doing yourself a favor and booking an appointment with Chris. You won't regret it.

In 2013, I was hired by my dream technology company. I started there in an HR capacity after…read moreworking in several different roles that focused on mediation, consulting, and HR. After a year I moved into an IT based role within the company, despite knowing little about fundamentals in IT but wanted to challenge myself to learn something new. My manager at the time, had been working with Hayes and recommended him to me as a way to accelerate my growth. At the time I was dealing with some intense imposter syndrome, being a female POC in a male dominated technology space, and knew that I needed some sort of guidance to get me through it. I felt like a fish out of water and decided to take the leap to meet with Hayes. I was skeptical about what a coach could offer me, mainly because I had never experienced anything close to professional coaching before. Immediately upon meeting Hayes for drinks to get to know each other I felt at ease. Over my nearly three years in working with Hayes I have found him to be my most enthusiastic champion, a staunch feminist, creative problem solver, and an empathetic listener. Throughout our time working together I have been promoted twice, expanded my scope of work, moved into a managerial position, and have embraced challenge after challenge with relative ease. I would recommend anyone seek Hayes out if you have the means to do so no matter where you are in your career or what industry you are in.

Once we arrived at the job title I was shooting for, she helped me to put together a plan of attack, and I went out and got started! I'm now skilled up, marketable in the job market, and excited about what comes next!

I've attended countless workshops, seminars, and conferences about growing my business. None of those have been as valuable as my business planning time with Sherry Jordan. She has been my Business Coach for about 3 years now. In that time, my growth has been focused and strong. I know I would have eventually reached my goals on my own, but having Sherry as a guide has made that journey much easier and more efficient. Sherry has a great sense for looking at a business from the outside, and distilling the challenges into something recognizable.

In our individual meetings I appreciated her suggestions for research and reflection I could do on my own, and found that the questions she asked while we were together really set me up to make the most of those suggestions. She was respectful of my note that, while this exploration was important to me, I didn't have a ton of free time to devote to it, and she seemed to find just the right ideas to work with what time I did have. I'm happier in my job now and look forward to what the future holds on the career front. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Aubrie to my closest friends--in fact, I have!
