One of the first moves I made prior to resigning was to contact Dena and schedule some time to talk. Dena was fantastic and extremely helpful in deciphering what my needs were. She also helped me define my skill sets in a clearer way, which has helped me focus on a more articulate career direction. The decision to leave my job was a difficult one, but Dena's advice gave me the confidence to embark on this new adventure.

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.
