Within only a few sessions of working with Portia, I already felt invigorated with new possibility…read more And every session after that I grew more and more. I was feeling trapped and stuck, unable to see any other options for my situation. And with such grace, Portia was able to help me see where I could focus on myself and my own story and beliefs to find freedom and be in control of the situation. She helped me also to come up with an effective way to communicate with others that really opened up the possibility in the relationship instead of creating a bad relationship. What a relief that was! I feel liberated and a renewed sense of having my life the way I want it. It is funny to say that it now seems such an obvious way to go but I just couldn't without Portia really bringing it to life. She helped me take responsibility for what ever way I contributed to my situation which gave me the empowerment to change it! I feel so much better! I feel a sense of freedom and renewed excitement I can have the lifestyle I want. She really helped me to understand and grasp that I have a choice to create the life I want. She helped me really embrace that I am not responsible for other peoples' experience. And helped me to recognize that feeling stuck or angry with someone is actually a clue for me to look inward to see what decisions or choices I might be making that are not feeling good. And then I can change that! Portia gets straight to the point with amazing grace and hones in on what is really going on and how you can take back control of your life! She is amazing!

I recently started working with Portia on some anxiety and time management issues, and I am amazed…read moreat how quickly I am working through these issues with her guidance. I have learned so many new coping skills! In our first session, we worked on a long time driving phobia, and after that, with her advice, guidance and support, I was able to drive on the freeway for the first time in 20 years! Her compassion, presence, and natural style feel like I am sitting with a friend. I feel safe, comfortable, and open to exploring, healing and growing. I am so grateful to have found her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for more joy, fulfillment, or support with goals in life.

When I started working with Angie I was depleted. I didn't know where to begin. Angie met me where…read moreI was. We started with mindfulness and energy work, which helped me gain the momentum to move forward. One of my breakthroughs with Angie was shifting from a victim mindset to an empowered mentality. Her unique and compassionate approach was key in helping me make this transition. Coming from a science background, it's sometimes a challenge for me to embrace a more spiritual or holistic methodology. But I encourage anyone considering Angie's services to keep an open mind. Angie integrates the spiritual with the practical, helps you develop action steps, and includes traditional career development techniques like goal setting. I absolutely recommend Angie's coaching services.

Working with Angie has been a powerful and dare I say life-changing experience. A bold claim, but…read moretrue based on the results of our sessions together. Angie has a unique combination of skills and tools that she custom-tailors to each client's needs -- in my case it was life coaching, a bit of what feels like therapy (processing), and mindfulness practices. Together those tools and her keen sense of what to focus on each session (based on my ever-shifting personal needs) have helped me navigate a wide array of challenges and begin successfully rebuilding my life after a divorce and career path in flux. Angie's wisdom is sage; she knows when to be direct (always informed by kindness and what's best for me) vs. letting me lead or process; and the tools she's recommended continually help me gain a greater perspective on who I really am, what my strengths are, and how best to bring my gifts to the world. I would highly recommend Angie Swartz to anyone who needs their own personal Life Purpose Advisor.

I worked with Coach Quinn to do some goal setting and planning out my new year. Working with her is…read moresimply organic and natural. You just talk and all of the sudden you have these plans laid out in front of you. The best part is when you meet you don't need to take notes, she does everything and then sends you all of the information that you discussed. Even though she isn't in my field of work (chiropractor) she was able to come up with networking and marketing ideas that even my Chiropractic coaches didn't suggest. Quinn is also great with getting you work-life balance. I haven't used her retirement planning services yet but know many people who have and she has helped them tremendously. Overall I encourage anyone and everyone to meet with her and just get a little clarity in their life!

I am so grateful I contacted Quinn to help me with my resume and career guidance recently. I'm in a…read morelife transition and needed some direction and resume-updating assistance and she has been spectacular. This is absolutely her field of expertise as almost every question I had for her, she answered before I even needed to ask. The time we spent working together was incredibly fruitful and gave me much more direction than I was anticipating. And, I'm no longer embarrassed by my resume:) ABSOLUTELY recommend!!!

I was looking at consulting business to study the landscape of business consultants in San Diego. I…read morenoticed the high rating of Asha's business and read some reviews. The reviews made me realize that I could use Asha's services. Her website was clear and easy to navigate and schedule a session. We got on a call and Asha was quickly able to understand my core need and then ask the right questions to understand and identify some key blocks, strengths and weaknesses to be explored to develop clarity and strategy for use of my experience and talents to allow me to narrow my focus and get the responses I was looking for. If you're looking for someone to help you get clarity, understand your key road blocks, and develop strategies to work through them, time with Asha will be a very worthy investment into your career.

Trust the process! Working with Asha has been a journey that I can highly recommend. I came to her…read morebecause I was experiencing stagnation in my career and almost no results from my job searches. For the last 8 years I was stuck in a career and industry that was not my passion, which did not offer any further advancement and the financial situation was far from satisfactory. I had almost lost my hope & confidence. Asha listened to my issues, learned about my unique situation and was able to develop a very clear strategy for me as early as our initial session. After our decision to work together, she helped me overcome many hurdles and confront issues that were holding me back for many years: financial, emotional, my mindset, beliefs, and self-imposed limitations. She tailored exercises, assignments, and meetings that helped me realize my potential. She helped me apply my skills, talents and dedicate my energy to what I needed to do, to finally generate results I wanted. Asha noticed in me skills and talents that I've never knew I had. It helped me broaden my horizons and it allowed me to be open to more successful job opportunities I've had not considered before. I've completely changed the ways I've been doing things. I was able to successfully update my resume, cover letters, online presence, and most importantly my attitudes and confidence. I finally got multiple job offers, in my ideal industry, for much better income and with better growth opportunities. Now I really enjoy being interviewed, and I receive great interest and feedback from potential employers. I am being selected to move forward with the hiring process over other candidates.

Judy Kaplan Baron is truly a talented individual and, unfortunately for those who haven't…read morediscovered her, a best kept secret. Judy is so good that I have now become a repeat client of hers. And just like the first time I went to see her (2016), this second time I was also offered a job! A promotional opportunity arose outside of my company and I knew the competition would be fierce. Not to fear, I thought, because I knew Judy could help me dust off my interview skills. I still had Judy's material and notes from the first time I saw her. Shoot, there were a few techniques Judy taught me in 2016 that I continue to use since I am routinely presented with hypothetical situations and asked to make sense of them. I was surprised, and humbled, at how many of Judy's skills and techniques I had forgotten since I last saw her. I knew after completing my first session with her that I'd need a second. Once again, Judy's guidance propelled me to a second-round interview. My soon-to-be boss told me that the first-round interview had gone so well, the panel urged that I be interviewed ahead of the second-round schedule. For this, I have Judy to thank. Judy has a way of coaching you through complex concepts and breaking them down into bite-sized pieces. She's a master at working with you to identify your own experience and crafting just the right "elevator pitch" to use in panel and one-on-one interviews. Judy's formulas for answering hypothetical questions, word choice for describing one's achievements, and tips on how to negotiate a higher salary for yourself are truly incredible. Her hour-and-a-half sessions race by and are actually fun. I'm a pretty cheap person, but I'll tell you Judy's worth every penny of her fee. I have zero question in my mind that when the next promotional opportunity arises for me, one of the first people I'll call is Judy.

I was referred to Judy from a former instructor who previously helped her. When Judy and I…read moreinitially spoke over the phone, she advised me what to bring during our first session. When we first met, I never considered myself a bad interviewer, until Judy told me the truth. She is very honest, warm, friendly, incredibly knowledgable, caring and professional. Her background provided me valuable insight with interviewing skills that I will continue to use throughout my educational and professional career. Judy even called me to follow-up to see how my interview went. Needless to say, it went incredibly well but I truly appreciated that she took the time to check in with me. However, in full disclosure, her prices are a bit high. Although it was still expensive, I invested two scheduled sessions with her. Yes, I said invest because that's what you will take away from meeting with her. I am much more confident with interviewing than I ever have before thanks to Judy. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a Career Counselor! Give yourself a chance, and invest in yourself and call Judy! She is an amazing person!

When I started working with Missy, I had been in my business for a few years and have seen some…read moresuccess. However, I was stuck. I just had the worst month I have ever had, worse than my first month in business. I was overwhelmed and at a ceiling that I didn't know how to get above it. Missy was able to show me, sometimes instead of working hard you just need to pause. For someone who tends to push harder when things aren't going the way, I plan, this was difficult. She was able to convince me that mindset is a real thing and what to do to shift. As a strategist, I also need someone who not only will work on the mindset piece but also have the strategy part down as well. She was able to balance both and still stay on top of calling me out on my shit when my stubbornness kicked in. Missy's approach and leadership qualities were what got me over that edge. She will always be my sales guru and I recommend her to any business owner struggling on their own in this area.

I highly recommend working with Missy Strasner! Connecting with Missy and getting the opportunity…read moreto work with her only once, so far (despite her awesome interactive FB lives) literally put a fire & clarity into my life and business that was long overdue. Her NO excuses approach helped me figure out a HUGE hurdle I "was and wasn't" aware of, AND didn't really know what to do about it... She brought so much clarity around "stories" I was telling myself, and helped guide me on what steps to take next to "get out of my head." That VERY day I finished my first daily to-do list in YEARS! (They were always too big... Ha) NO more stories!!! I'm beyond appreciative of our connection and Missy's coaching abilities. Her soul, energy, spunk, and knowledge of biz are BEYOND inspirational , motivational, and strategic! She truly has helped me claim my BAD@$$! I am looking forward to working more with Missy in the future and seeing the AWESOMENESS we create!

Before working with Kristyn, I was hesitant about engaging with a coach because I have always been…read morean "I can do it myself" kind of person. Was I in for a surprise! Kristyn's coaching, combined with the resources toward which she steered me, have accelerated my success immensely, both in my thinking around my coaching practice and in my corporate career. Her uncanny ability to skillfully identify my blind spots, and to provide the insights and perspective I needed at just the right time, have resulted in material leaps forward in my personal and professional success. What I like best about working with Kristyn is that she is not afraid to call me on my "stuff" and does not shy away from tough conversations when it is in my best interest. And of course, she is funny and charming as well! I would absolutely recommend her not only for building a coaching business, but also for overall personal growth. Kristyn truly cares about her clients and has become an indispensable friend, confidant and advisor.

Kristyn is truly one of a kind.

I came to Kristyn with a half-imagined dream. I had a career and brand as a freelance graphic designer that I mostly enjoyed and paid the bills, but had a dream of something that felt bigger and grander in the world of music. After a few sessions with Kristyn, my half-imagined dream suddenly began to feel tangible, with both short-term and long-term goals to help get me there. This past summer, I had my first music meetup with her encouragement, built my new website, and am in the process of creating my first music course. My new brand, which now includes my music ideas came directly from our sessions. As a result I feel more connected to my design clients, and my monthly income has even increased since the brand change. I also recently took Kristyn's Sacred Business Builder Course and was floored with the amount of useful content provided combined with the love that Kristyn brings to her work. She is able to give practical marketing tips, but also ideas about how to unlock previous blocks, change your money stories, how to attract the right type of client, look at the bigger picture, and she encourages you to effect the change you were meant to in the world (and so much more). As soon as we began working together it seemed like she had tapped into things that spanned my entire life. It was like she had a window into my soul. And that is Kristyn's gift.
