Ten years since I wrote my last review and 11 years since I first saw Amanda as a client. In those…read more11+ years I have gone back to school to get my degree, changed careers, gotten laid off twice (once during 2020), found work again in less than two months, and always found something higher-paying and with a better commute every time, as if the layoffs were a hidden gift. I have also nearly tripled my salary since I first saw Amanda and am much more satisfied with my line of work. I am also grateful to have found a new job in my field with a company that is hiring since I'm in a field in which the layoffs are higher right now. If I had never been a client of hers, I expect that I would be still be in a job that I didn't care about, making about half of what I make now, and working it only for the paycheck. Seeing Amanda was hands-down the best career decision that I ever made. My sanity, self-confidence, and bank account thank her. You will too, after a few sessions.

Amy helped me turn my life around!…read more I was originally very apprehensive about the idea to seek help in a life coach, but this year I realized that at the age of 30, if I'm not happy with where I'm at, then I must be doing it wrong. I knew that I shouldn't feel like I should spend most of my days without passion, happiness, and energy on a daily basis. I felt like a was going in the wrong direction with my career, and really had no plan of how I could get out of the rut I was in. My first session with Amy was so valuable, that if I never had another, I believe that it would have still changed my life. Amy didn't tell me what to do, but instead helped me identify what I really wanted to do with my life, what was stopping me, and what to focus on to be happier. She helped me focus my disorganized thoughts and ideas into a cohesive and actionable plan that I could take step by step. Nine months later I've never been in a better place in both my professional and personal life, and the best thing about it is that I know that I had it in me to do it with her help.

During my first session with Brandy, I immediately felt home. I don't know what it is, but her…read morecoaching style is one that's rooted in peace, freedom, and sincerity. I felt like I can tell her anything, and it's almost as if I were talking to a life-long friend. Her coaching doesn't stop at the end of the hour either. After each session, Brandy's always there to help or serve when I text or email her with something I'm having trouble with. Initially, I went in for her to uncover my blind spots, and even though she didn't say, "Josh, X, Y, Z are your blind spots," after each session, I'm always amazed at what I haven't been able to see myself. That being said, she's definitely given me what I was looking for, but more importantly, she's transformed my emotional, mental, and spiritual life. One thing to remember, though, is coaching is really a two-way street. At the end of the day, YOU have to put in the work and effort to further your own growth. If you don't care about your own growth, it doesn't matter how great your coach is... you will never grow. Brandy's job is to be the guiding light for your life, but it's you who still have to walk the path at the end of the day. That being said, Brandy will do whatever it takes to serve you, and it's something I always take comfort in whenever I go in to see her.

I'm not even sure how to explain how much Dr. Nemko has helped me. He taught me so much that even…read morehis works resonate into my mind 12 years later. He has so much wisdom within his career brain but he plants pieces of gold that you will never let go of. He guided me thru the most difficult part of my life into the the most rewarding period.

This team is truly blessed and forever will be grateful.

I was counseled by Marty Nemco almost 40 years ago. When I contacted him recently letting him know…read morethat I was recently listed in ", Who's Who in America," and I thought he might be interested in the new studies that I had discovered on creativity and had written several books on, he vainly stated that he had no interest in discussing it with me. In other words , instead of being proud of one of his clients, he immediately took to the vain stance of seeing me as competition. The irony is that I did the opposite of what his advice was back then, because I saw what was coming down in my profession as it was then. But I didn't wanna mention that to him because I thought he would truly be interested and what I have learned. Not only was he not interested and stated so the only way I could discuss it with him is if I paid him more money . This man is vain and arrogant and in my opinion and experience I wouldn't put any weight in what he has to say. I counsel people on my on these days and when I do I always keep in mind what Leonardo da Vinci said, "it is a poor teacher whose students don't surpass him." Now I'm not claiming that I surpassed him in any way or even was in competition with him , but I cannot say it is the same for him. Buyer beware

Happy Sunday... Reflecting on this post, I found myself looking back to the beginning of my journey…read morein discovering my work, calling, and purpose. In 2020, when I left social work behind, l didn't immediately search for the next job. Instead, I sought resources to help me find myself and uncover my true purpose in life. That's when my good friends, Nat & Dan, recommended A Path That Fits-a career und life coaching program that truly made a difference in my journey. From that moment, l knew I was heading in the right direction. I am not here because I needed a JOB... I am here because @connectmortgagegroup and I - ARE MEANT TO BE HERE!!! This passion has started since 2004 when I started as a part time College Student and part time Loan Processor. If you're feeling lost, stagnant, or even complacent, turn to prayer-and if you're looking for additional guidance, I highly recommend A Path That Fits to help you discover your true purpose and calling, one that brings you 1000% happiness! I'm so grateful I found Adrian Klaphaak - Purpose Coach before getting married and having kids-it gave me the chance to truly find ME - MYSELF.

I've been working with Gretchen for a few months now and she is fantastic. Honestly I was really…read moreparanoid about any career counseling because it feels like just anyone can advertise themselves as effective but Gretchen really knows the tech work intimately from experience and just has such good advice, not just on the job finding process but about company cultures and the way tech companies think. She's super nice and flexible to work with, and definitely paid off since I got a new job with significantly higher pay.

I cannot say enough good things about Gretchen. I started working with her when I moved from…read moreCalifornia to a new state where I had no professional network. First, Gretchen helped me define what I was looking for in a new job and research organizations aligned with my goals. Next, she took the pain out of writing a resume and cover letter by helping me highlight and take credit for the important stuff and rolling accomplishments up into big measurable wins. Finally, she's an ace at interview prep. She can quickly assess what themes to focus on and which to leave out and how to answer those annoying 'tell me about yourself' questions. An hour spent with Gretchen will save you 5 hours of muddling through, iterating, and second-guessing yourself - a spectacular return on investment for a busy mom like me. I just nailed my first C-suite level interview and am on to the final round. Thanks Gretchen!

Working with Isabelle was a tremendous experience. It truly was hard work, but things of value…read moreusually take a lot of effort. She has a thoughtful and structured process that helped me uncover my personal values, motivators and many other insights. These are the kinds of things that are usually 'hiding in plain sight' and difficult for most of us to see on our own. Before working with Isabelle, I had been in the same industry for over 30 years and had mostly enjoyed it but the need for a change confronted me rather abruptly. I had zero plan for what I might do next and felt quite a bit of anxiety and trepidation. After working with Isabelle for several months, I gained a clear picture of what would and would not be a good fit for me, work-wise. Importantly, before starting with Isabelle, myself and those around me had lots of ideas for next moves that seemed like 'naturals.' But it quickly became clear that most of these ideas would have been a dead-end for me in terms of enjoyment and fulfilment. For me, having the ability to move forward in life with a vision and with confidence has been priceless. The bottom line: life is short and if you don't want to squander part of yours by going down a suboptimal path, I really recommend putting in the work with Isabelle. It is definitely worth it!

Before working with Isabelle, I spent more than 18 years being unhappy at work, regularly changing…read morejobs and/or companies every 2-3 years, changing countries, relocating to Sweden at some point, then back to France, and finally to California. Always changing external factors, never any internal ones. Eventually, I came to realize that something was actually wrong with me and my career path, but I could not quite nail it. Was I the problem? Was it my job? Or both? If so, what should I do? How? Wasn't it too late already? I was totally aware there was "a problem", but no way to solve it without understanding what the problem actually was. I was totally lost and dangerously burning out, struggling with growing anxiety crisis and insomnias. I met Isabelle at one of her General Assembly workshops in SF in late 2019. I immediately liked her approach and fully related to her own story of a bold career change. I loved the fact that she walked the talk, learnt from it, studied hard and developed her own methodology, a perfect mix of academic psychology tools and meditative approach. Also, I clearly felt she deeply cares, she is passionate, she genuinely wants to help others suffering, stuck in the same situation as she once was. And she absolutely proved it at every step of our coaching journey. She is not in for the money; she is in to help people find the strength to change. Not to change who you are, but to change your career path. To unlearn who you believed you were because of decades of social pressure, family pressure, ego, toxic indicators of success etc. To re-assess who you really are: your unique personality, your strengths, your qualities, your true values, your true passions and interests, what you really need and what you should absolutely avoid. Without Isabelle's support, I would have probably been stuck forever in the same vicious cycle. Thanks to her support, I am now 100% clear on who I really am and what I should do next to live a fulfilled professional and personal life. And I can't thank her enough for that!

From beginning to end it was a pleasure working with Lucas. He really takes the time to understand…read moreyou as a person and asks great questions to put together the perfect plan for you. I had a career journey that was a bit different and Lucas gave me the confidence to put my best self out there. Lucas is a genius when it comes to resumes, LinkedIn updates, interview prep, and cover letters. The interview process was where I was the most nervous but with all the tips and tricks Lucas provided I was extremely confident during each interview as the prepping really paid off. While going through interviews Lucas was extremely supportive and flexible with his schedule to ensure I was ready for every round. I received an offer and I could honestly say I could have not done it without Lucas's support and guidance. Thank you Lucas!

Even though I am a professional who was fortunate to enjoy much career success, I have always…read morequestioned in the back of my mind if I was in the right industry. 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.

Seven years into my career in tech, I came to Brandy feeling stuck, unfulfilled, and genuinely lost…read moreabout what kind of move to make next. I had passions and ideas but no framework for sorting through them. That's exactly where Brandy excels. She brought structured thinking and concrete frameworks to our sessions that helped me cut through the noise and actually make decisions. Beyond being an incredibly capable and intelligent individual, Brandy is kind, funny, and understanding. The progress I've made has been remarkable. I'm now actively prototyping different career paths at once: pursuing a Master's in Art Therapy, working at a high school in San Francisco, and doing strategy & operations consulting for Planned Parenthood affiliates. I was hesitant to invest in coaching, but I no longer have any reservations about that decision. If you're feeling confused, stuck, or unsure of where you want to go, I can't recommend Brandy highly enough.

Just ten…read moreweeks after my first session with her, I've already made huge strides toward a life that is more intentional and in alignment with my values. I'm all around feeling more ease and infinitely less stress and anxiety, even knowing that there are still some difficult decisions ahead. Brandy has given me practical and actionable advice with equal parts encouragement and nudging me toward what I want for myself. I look forward to our sessions - they tend to lead me down a path that I wasn't expecting, in the best way possible. She's empowering, smart, intuitive, and organized. I highly recommend Brandy if you want to move toward a more intentional life that reflects what you want for yourself and need a coach and cheerleader encouraging you along the way.
