Teresa is very astute and insightful. After just a couple of coaching sessions she had a clear understanding of my situation, my personality and my values.

Over a year ago I was not doing well at work. I was recommended to seek out a Career Coach. Little…read moredid I know how helpful Shawn was. Shawn was beyond helpful! He helped me from struggling to getting a promotion! In one year! He is always prepared for every meeting and remembers everything we talk about. It didn't feel like a meeting with a coach/therapist. It felt like I was catching up with an old friend. I will more than likely continue my work with Shawn, not because I have to, but because I want to. Thank you so much for your help and support Shawn!

About a year or so ago I was searching for a career coach to help me find "the work I was meant to…read moredo". Prior to working with Shawn, I thought that a career coach would assess my skills and then tell me what role/job I should do. Very quickly, I learned that that was not how the process worked and I couldn't be happier to have been wrong. Shawns' process helped me uncover what truly makes me happy, what kind of team I want to be a part of, what kind of organization I want to be a part of, and most importantly what job responsibilities would make me happy on a daily basis. For anyone looking to get a better understanding of their skills and job desires and use that knowledge to find a role that fits what you're looking for, then I'd recommend working with Shawn. While I found Shawn via Yelp, I also found a handful of other career coaches on the platform. I chose Shawn due to his business background and the fact that he was a true "Career Coach". I had a business background so it felt like a good fit and I was looking for a "career" specific coach versus a "Life/Career" coach. I worked with Shawn (In-person - I used to live in Seattle) for ~6 sessions. He broke down each session ahead of time so I knew what work I had to accomplish before our meetings and what to expect to talk about in our meetings. The work was challenging and thought provoking, but it really helped me discover my skills, shortcomings, non-negotiable and ultimately led me to the work that I wanted to do. He helped me define what I was looking for in a role, including: team structure, day-to-day responsibilities, environment, reporting structure, and more. He helped me gain confidence that even though I didn't have a background in design, I had inherent skills and aptitudes for the field. One year removed for working with Shawn, I landed a new role in a new career. Shawn helped me find a career path and happiness in my work. Working with Shawn really helped me understand my abilities and clearly define what I was looking for. Once I was able to define my ideal role, I was able to go out and get it. All in all Shawn was a major asset to helping me find the role I'm currently in. I would recommend him to anyone searching for a career coach. Just know, the work is hard but very rewarding!!!!

None of the cookie-cutter personality-test-like career indexes in this work, because Kathryn understands that career paths like life are chaotic, full of unpredictable elements like fate and luck, and she will help you WORK with all the unpredictability coming at you to best leverage your chances at finding your dream career and next dream job.

I think that's very important when selecting a coach. I had made a lot of assumptions about the next step in my career. Kathryn helped me explore the rational and logic behind these assumptions. I learned just how much they were limiting my options. That was a big eye opener for me. Further, she pushed me to think about many other important factors about my next job that I was not really considering. Once we figured out the type of roles that excited me, we focused on tactical strategies to reach out to potential employers. My networking skills were already good, but she helped sharpen them further. Last week, I started a job that I am very excited about and I am very thankful to Kathryn for all the help.

I did NOT meet with just one person, the assistant of the person who had contacted me.

I have worked with two other staffing agencies but neither of them have treated me as well as AppleOne. Just a couple of days after our first meeting Justin had gotten me an interview. He sent along a packet of information that really helped me to prep for the interview process. Turned out after making the drive from Everett into Ballard I wasn't as thrilled with the position and I just couldn't see myself doing that every day. Not their fault, I had told Justin that I was willing to work in that area, and I would be for the perfect position but this just wasn't it. I let Justin know that I was not interested in that position but he didn't stop working for me. I took it as a learning experience and I kept looking. A week later he had another interview for me in a position that seems like a perfect fit. I am going back for a second interview tomorrow and regardless if I get the position or not I cannot thank Justin enough for making it happen and for guiding me through the process.

This review for Sara Dawson is years overdue but it speaks to the impact of her coaching that I am…read morestill using the skills she taught me! Sara is a genuine caring person and an excellent listener. She is entirely present while working with you and she will work hard to understand who you are, your goals, struggles, and how to help you overcome. After every session she writes a detailed recap of what you discussed and what you will work on until the next session. She is so intuitive, intelligent, and open-hearted. She is easy to talk to and you will feel a true bond with her knowing her heart is rooting for you. It's been five years and I still think about all she taught me and I am still moved by how much she cares about others and their success.

I'm giving this 4 stars, only because of my initial contact with AppleOne. I met Carolina early…read more2019, but there was no follow through from her; definitely no opportunities coming my way. Fast forward to May 2019... I met with Sean. He seemed nice, very young, and not quite sure of himself. I ended up interviewing him. Turns out he was fairly new to the position, so I cut him some slack. Sean was pretty diligent in sending job opportunities my way, but I was pretty specific about what I wanted, where I wanted to commute to. During this time, I started working a temp position (not through AO), and stayed in touch with Sean. July 16, 2019, I got an "urgent" call from Sean. "I think I have the perfect position for you." Sean hooked me up with Ali Wadood. Apparently, Sean had been singing my praises (thank you!), and Ali wanted to present me to a position in Everett. I interviewed on the 18th. Job was offered on the 23rd. I started new position on the 24th! More money than I was asking for, 10 minute commute to/from work. Thank you Sean and Ali! I appreciate you both very much!!

It was supposed to be a 30-minute session to discuss my goals, but it ended in just five minutes. The person I spoke with seemed uninterested and dismissive from the beginning. When he asked about my visa status (I'm on OPT as an international student), his demeanor completely changed. He basically told me it wasn't going to work out without offering any advice or alternatives. He didn't even ask about my goals or what I wanted to achieve--he just focused on my visa status and made me feel like I didn't belong. If it's true that Apple doesn't accept OPT, then fine, but the way this was handled was frustrating and unprofessional.

Nancy was a pleasure to work with and was critical in an emergency situation…read more We followed Nancy's hypnosis approach and practiced at home. During labor, we did what we practiced and the mother later reported that this was the most helpful tool for managing the intensity. When a complication arose in labor, there was not a lot of time and several fast decisions had to be made. Having Nancy there as a trusted resource made all the difference. All it took were a few adamant nods of approval from Nancy to help me feel like the right decisions were being made. This helped avoid critical time delays since I normally would have wanted to spend more time to understand what was going on in more depth before making any decisions. In the end everything worked out and the right decisions were made. Thank you Nancy!
