I didn't know where to start, but I noticed that so many of Teresa's reviews had REAL results, like folks actually landing a new career after their time with her. Thankfully, I'm happy to report the same -- and wouldn't be able to say that without her. The Career Clarity Course is a great way to get your wheels turning on possible career changes, and it offers tons of great questions and quizzes to help open your mind to career paths you wouldn't have before. And when combined with in-person sessions with Teresa, it's an incredibly helpful set of tools, since she provides a ton of great, real-time feedback and support that's flexible to your situation. Basically, if you're on the fence like I was, just make the smart move and invest in Teresa's course. You definitely won't regret it!

Working with Teresa has brought me so much clarity about who I am and how I make decisions.

Teresa is such a fantastic listener and is super empathic. I very much value the sessions I had with her so far. And if ever in the future I would need to speak to a career coach again, I wouldn't hesitate to schedule another session with her. 10/10 I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking clarity or help around anything career related!

His initial 15 minute discovery call was very supportive and I ended up booking a career strategy session instead of the resume review. The call was extremely supportive and enlightening. The 90 minutes with Darrell created clarity, and next steps. Wherever you are in your career journey, I highly recommend booking a session with Darrell. He's kind, compassionate, deeply listens and will gently guide you to your next breakthrough. Thank you Career Guy Darrell!!

I was glad to find Darrell does career counseling in the LA area.

I am lucky to have had him as a professor for my weekend class in grad school. His course is about…read morebuilding a private practice, and it was a really helpful course to have as a future therapist! His method of teaching is traditional in a way that your class is action-packed with lots of presentation notes. Not only did he provide real life stories, he also shared what therapists would have done back in grad school, to help us make better decisions once we start our own practice too. He is super funny! I never felt sleepy at any point in his lecture. Everything discussed and shown in class were so important that you just type and write away so you don't miss anything.

I had the pleasure of working with Meike as my career coach. Meike, was thoughtful, patient,…read moreunderstanding and the perfect cheerleader. She helped me learn and realize things about myself I wouldn't have otherwise known, and has given me confidence as I work on my career transition. The monthly Lunch and Learns offered with Meike and Shannon were also super valuable, which I can use not only in my professional life, but personal as well. They genuinely want me to succeed in whatever I do!

I worked with Meike as my strengths coach during a time when I felt stuck in a professional rut. My…read morework life felt disjointed, and I struggled to connect with my team. Through her thoughtful and empowering coaching, Meike helped me lean into my strengths and rebuild my confidence. She has a remarkable way of seeing what makes each person unique--and drawing that out in a way that feels authentic and energizing. As I tried to navigate up-leveling my career at my current job, Meike's support helped me stay grounded, and ultimately, I earned a promotion. If you're looking to elevate your work, interviewing skills, and confidence, I can't recommend Shinebright Career Coaching enough. Working with Meike was truly a game-changer.

He was in better moods, happier, and less frustrated. Most importantly, he was able to verbalize his frustrations and has been more intentional about his thinking and overall is in a better mental state.

Gretchen is brilliant. Before deciding to work with her I reached out to a few career coaches. It…read morewas very clear they were in it for themselves and were going to help me "their way." When I found Gretchen it was CLEAR she knew was she was doing, could identify areas I was struggling (that I wasn't completely oblivious to), and was going to be there for me in the ways I needed. She helped me... 1) Launch a business 2) Focus on my writing goals 3) Organize and prioritize my tasks 4) Help me detach myself from commitments that were big time wasters 5) Realize my own worth so I stopped undercutting myself with my own customers Even after our sessions were completed, she still checks in on me. Gretchen isn't just a life/career coach, she's an invested friend. Do not hesitate to use her services. Couldn't be happier.

A couple of months ago, I came to a point where I was burnt out at my current job, but I was…read moreconfused about what direction I needed to go in and what careers I should be pursuing. I didn't want to go into another job and feel burnt out again. I knew that I needed help, so I started looking around Yelp and found Gretchen. There are a bunch of coaches out there. But Gretchen was different. In comparison to the others, she gets to know you, your situation, and your goals. Others, on the other hand, their first reply is how much they charge. While I was on my complimentary phone call with Gretchen, a ladybug landed on my arm. When a ladybug lands on you, it's considered good luck. I took that as a sign from the universe. To trust that this was what I needed. To let Gretchen help me with the areas of my life, I wanted to change. With her help, I figured out that where I was currently working didn't align with my passions and values. She helped me find the right career path and created a plan from where I was to where I wanted to go. My career path was that I was meant to be a writer. Being a writer was staring me in the face the whole time, but I wouldn't have ever been able to see it or accept it if it wasn't for the work I had done with Gretchen. She not only helped with my career, but she's helped me in other aspects of my life. She helped me realize that what I lacked in my life was confidence in myself. I didn't believe in myself and didn't do anything with certainty. Gretchen gave me the tools and techniques to build my confidence and to change my mindset. Now, I am excited about the new year coming and of all the goals that I am going to accomplish. My life is entirely different now, and it's all thanks to Gretchen and the work we've done together. I can honestly say that hiring Gretchen as my coach was the best investment I made for myself. She literally is the best. There is a reason she's a Master Certified Coach. If you're unhappy with your career, life, or confused about what steps you need to take, hire Gretchen. My review isn't a ladybug landing on you, but if you're looking for a sign, this is it. Invest in yourself and trust Gretchen to help you. You will not regret it.

I have been working with Mara at Ignite Your Potential for maybe 6 months now and I can't say…read moreenough good things about her. I went to her for career guidance as I was at a major turning point in my life and unsure of what direction to head. She helped me find that direction by helping me identify what I really wanted and valued, what my possible paths were and additionally how my strengths fit into that equation. Mara felt like a trusted friend who guided me through a process of self-discovery and reflected back to me the strengths she saw in me. I think most importantly, she helped me wade through the uncertainty and feelings of feeling lost in my career direction. Career paths just felt like a cloud of confusion and having no idea what I wanted to do. She made me feel like we could navigate it and find direction, and we did. Additionally, I was going through some major difficulties in my personal life and while I've never been to keen on the idea of a life coach, I found her additional expertise in that area extremely beneficial. She always made sure to make it clear that it was up to me how we used our sessions; we could solely focus on the career path but I often chose to use our sessions tapping into her life coach skills as they proved extremely helpful during a very difficult time in my life. I highly recommend her as both a career and life coach!

I was confused and struggled with how I was suppose to get from where I was (confused, college graduate, working retail, and no idea what I was doing or wanted to do) to having things figured out. I have worked with her for over a year now, and have never felt more professionally sure about my choices. We really started from the basics - finding out my likes, dislikes, and most importantly what I want most from my career, which personally was helping others. We made lists, pros and cons, spreadsheets, everything you can imagine to put into perspective the different career options and their roles. Mara helped me in so many ways than just finding my dream career. I will forever be thankful to her. She is so patient, kind, and just a wonderful person to know and work with. I'm very grateful.

It's a wonderful community in a nice space, which also offers practical career coaching. You will get to perform in some capacity every class, without draining critiques.

It's located right on Ventura Boulevard with its own parking (which is a big plus in L.A.), and the class sizes are just right--not too big, not too small. Tuesdays and Thursdays Scene Class helped me a lot more efficiently to discove my character in auditions. Plus people in the class are all auper talented working actors. What really makes it stand out is the instructors. They're working actors--people with real experience in the industry--and you feel that in every class. The approach they use? I like to call it "Stanislavski on steroids." They've developed their own method, and as someone who's trained in traditional Stanislavski, I can tell you it's faster, sharper, and incredibly efficient. If you're serious about honing your craft, give this place a shot--you won't be disappointed. Every one from the staff to the fellow class mates are so welcoming. Lastly, this school is always checking on us if we weren't booking anything for sometimes to help and guide us. Every time you will actually book something they like to share it on their special wall as well as Instagram stories. Bcz your success is their success.

I'm writing this review about a year later after our 2 sessions. After getting laid off from my…read morecorporate job of a high position, losing my girlfriend, dog and a list of other atrocities I was lost and broken in my life. I was willing to do whatever it took to get back on my feet after numerous attempts at therapy whether it was through my insurance provider or private practice. I was a bit skeptical at first about hypnotherapy and life coaching because of the heavy price tag attached but here's what happened. We had a counseling session to see what was going on in my life and how we could go about regaining my clarity and confidence. She helped me realize that there was a lot of past trauma that I had to forgive myself coupled with the bitter truth that my self-destructive tendencies may not have been my fault but is ultimately my responsibility to address. I'm not too sure if the hypnotherapy programmed my subconscious that allowed me to take more action in my life than floating around. The month after our sessions I made more progress in regaining my health by choosing healthier foods and cutting out smoking. I also found a new hobby of swing trading and opening myself up to diversifying and growing my wealth from my savings, severance check and Unemployment Benefits. I ended up doing extremely well as I was confident in my buying and selling stocks by reading trends in the market and a little bit of intuition in the tech industry. Even if I was an emotional wreck I didn't let it affect my decision making when it came to trading. After a year later I have made much more progress in my personal development and career. I ended up founding my own marketing business, travel extensively as well as go on to work for other major companies within my career field.
