However, as many others have said, you just can't be too careful or get too comfortable in today's economic climate. I would much rather be prepared for the worst, and hope for the best. When Yelp offered a free 15 minute session with Timothy, I wanted to give it a try. I've helped others with their resumes in past years, but looking at my own is always so much harder. It really needed a brush-up. Tim's advice was wonderful, clear, and so easy to follow. He provided me with templates that would be more attractive to any potential readers. Over the next few weeks, I plan on using one of the templates to pop my own information in, and have it at the ready "just in case."

I take pride in having a better than average resume and interviewing well.

Timothy actually had some advice that helped me though and I recommend that you take the time to have a resume review with him. Having an outside set of eyes on my resume made me see some easy improvements I could make to help stand out in a future job search. I'm employed not but not naive about the impact of this pandemic on every industry including nonprofit - so I'm ready if a layoff happens.

I cannot recommend this program strongly enough! Shannon helps you be what you want to be. I am the…read moresame person I was before her program - yet simultaneously completely different. I had been on an exhaustive 10-year career search, looking for a position that fit others' expectations of where I should be next . . . Not realizing that the career I was already making for myself, was most closely aligned with my values, beliefs, and desire to live a balanced, yet well-paid life that puts my happiness, and presence for my children first. (As Shannon put it, I am like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz - in that I didn't need to "look any further than my own back yard.") I wanted clarity over the future direction of my career, and to get to where I want to be. This goal was met due to the expert advice of Shannon. My product and brand has been strengthened, and I am much more mindful and intentional about the career decisions I make. Shannon listens, then reminds you what you said is important to YOU, rather than fit you into a cookie-cutter program. I wholeheartedly recommend the Whole U. process.

I didn't have a system established before in determining how to proceed with changing careers, evaluating what I wanted as a career, and how to approach applying to different roles.

I have known Di Ciruolo for several years now and I'm so proud and excited to endorse her business!…read moreEver since I've been a mom, Di has offered help in recruiting nannys for me! I'm beyond busy and overwhelmed (Aren't most moms?) much of the time, especially since the addition of baby #2. I'm not sure where or how Di (mom of 2) finds time to do what she does (she must be superwoman) but she tirelessly sorts through resumes to find the most appropriate nanny for each family! I am so thankful to have her in my life and I know that any time I need professional help (and, knowing that the person is a safe, decent member of society) that she will be there for me! Can't recommend Di or SITTER STUDIO highly enough!

She is freshly coming off of moving into a new home with two babies... a two and a half year old fun and feisty young girl and a 4 month old colicky baby. On top of that, her husband had the new house in a state of construction chaos! Needless to say, she was feeling MORE than overwhelmed. I suggested that she check out Sitter Studio, as I'd heard good things. Dianna Ciruolo came to the rescue and went out of her way to interview several candidates to be her mother's helper so that my sister could finally unpack some boxes! She could not be happier. There is no greater gift to a new mom other than the gift of time, and Di went out of her way to find someone qualified to help. They have weekly dates now and this mother's helper has greatly come to the rescue!

I found Kim Childs by doing a Google Search for Life Coaches near me. I had been floundering for a…read morefew years, and grew to be very unhappy with the stagnation in my life after the COVID-19 pandemic. My husband's coworker talked about how he had worked with a life coach in middle age to help him figure out his next steps after an intercontinental move to the US. I read Kim's website and noticed she was associated with Kripalu, is a former yoga instructor, and I was intrigued. I read a bit of her blog and decided to email to set up an introductory phone call. I felt like we connected on the call. She was lighthearted, but helped me move forward with action items in just that one phone call. Before our first meeting, I was really nervous. I didn't know what she would be like in person (I can pick up on other people's energy very easily), but I was soon at ease as I realized she is a kind and thoughtful person, who is also joyful and positive. She is spiritual, and educated, with an "East Meets West" style of coaching. During my three months working with her I explored more opportunities than I have in a decade on my own. Having biweekly meetings held me accountable, but gave me time in between sessions to accomplish our collaboratively created goals. If I didn't accomplish everything, that was fine. We would discuss what I didn't do and decide whether to add it to the next to do list or drop it. She taught me how to better read my intuition when making decisions, and to clear negative beliefs that were holding me back. I now have a path forward to explore several interests, and I have the tools Kim taught me to use along the way. She also referred me to an amazing acupuncturist/reiki master when I expressed interest in energy healing (this alone was worth a million dollars). Working with Kim for three months has been more effective in changing my life than five years of therapy. I urge anyone who is on the fence to take the leap and explore whether she is a good fit. The worst that will happen is she's not the right fit for you; the best that will happen is Kim Childs will change your life!

It sounds cliche, but we worked together for 6 weeks and it totally turned me around in a better direction. If you are really ready to work at making a change in your life, Kim is an incredible guide - warm, creative, empathetic and full of great ideas. The best investment I could make in myself!

Lucy is an empathetic listener who will ask hard questions (in a very kind way). She kept me "on topic" and accountable as I met my personal and career goals. She shared knowledge and resources relating to salary negotiation, resume building, LinkedIn and answering interview questions. Lucy helped me navigate a difficult conversation at work and I am truly grateful for her support in advocating and speaking up for myself. As we continued to work together, I further clarified my personal values, skills and strengths which gave me a clearer sense of purpose. I am no longer stuck in my head and am making active steps forward. If you are thinking of working with Lucy you should do it!! I am amazed at how much has changed for me over five months and how I feel so much happier, more confident and optimistic.

I came to her feeling confused and a bit fearful, and just a few months later am feeling ambitious and excited about my future. I was just accepted into an amazing graduate program in nursing, a path that I had only vaguely considered prior to working with Lucy. I am confident that I would not be in this spot today, with a big door wide open in front of me, if I had not worked with Lucy. She is patient, intelligent, non-judgmental and most importantly - warm and kind. I can't recommend working with Lucy enough.
