“Stefanie has helped me evaluate my career path through several changes and keeps great notes of my progress so we can maximize our time when we talk. She is not afraid to ask the tough questions, but she is also warm and encouraging. She helps people focus on their strengths to achieve their goals. She is always thoughtful and professional. I highly recommend Stefanie!” 

Allison Tolksdorf, Benson, NC

“After graduating college I struggled to find a job that I found personally rewarding, and could turn into a lifelong career.  I bounced around from job to job always hoping the next one would be that “perfect fit”, but sadly never finding it.  That’s when I came across the services of Stefanie Zizzo (A.K.A Professional Life Saver!)  Stefanie was able to help me realize my true talents and passions.  Based on those two elements, together we figured out and developed my personalized roadmap for success.  Stefanie truly wanted to see me succeed, and gave me the tools I needed to do so.  I have now found that “perfect fit” and am working in an industry that I truly enjoy and developing it into a rewarding career.  Stefanie truly has a passion for what she does and it is because of her I am finally where I’ve always wanted to be.”

“I contacted Stefanie Zizzo when I was struggling to figure out how to seek a role in my desired field of health promotion and wellness. I hoped that she could help me revamp my resume – she did that and so much more! Stefanie helped me realize that I have a great deal of wellness experience, even though I have not had a paid role in the field. She helped me recognize and renew my passion for championing health and wellness. More importantly, Stefanie helped me build the confidence I need to pursue my passion. I am so thankful I worked with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a coach to help guide them on a similar journey.”

“I’ve been accepted to the graduate program I wanted!  I’m also taking an Audio Documentary class at the Center for Documentary Studies. Both are a result of the career work you helped me with. If only I’d done this 10 years ago!”

I came to you very lost and I am so happy that you allowed me to redirect my internal compass. ” 

Ashley Grandis, Raleigh (now Austin, TX)

How much you have impacted my life while helping me decide on a pathway! I often reflect on your ability to help me organize my thoughts and put them all into perspective, its strange that I can help others do that but can’t seem to help myself in that area. It amazed me how you were able to understand my personality and thought patterns in order to identify some of the things that were holding me back. My life has changed a lot, I have seen improvement in my relationships, made new friends and honestly for the first time in my life I can say I love what I am doing!!!”  

Nikki, Clayton, NC

“Just wanted to say thanks for your help and continued support through your coaching as well as your articles and ideas.  I am approaching my last day here at work and will soon be flying down to St Thomas to begin my nursing program.  It feels so good to have a clear idea of where I want to be and what I want to do, but most importantly, the confidence to actually do it.  Thanks for working with me on it”

“Imagine a train moving down the track. Full of steam, full of ideas, and full of working parts, but the problem is that train doesn’t have a destination. That was my life. Stefanie Zizzo is a great conductor who helps you slow down that train, allows you to explore your individual railroad cars, and helps you select a track to travel. There are many stops along the way and the track can get bumpy during your journey, but you have to believe that the ticket you were given when you entered this world has a destination. Thanks Stefanie.”  

Brad Matthews, Raleigh, NC

“Stefanie has been an absolute godsend. She helped to unearth my core beliefs and values in the midst of a career change and worked with me to clarify the best vocational pathways. I held fast through the first three job offers that came, and recognized the fourth –and best — opportunity as the path I had to follow. I would strongly recommend Stefanie to anybody who wants to integrate their home and work lives in a way that’s most pleasurable.”
