“When I came to Stefanie, I had just graduated with my undergraduate degree in my late 40’s. I was entering into the job market for the first time in four years and felt I had lost my competitive edge. My confidence was at an all time low and I was discouraged. Every Monday I would spend half a day applying to dozens of jobs on line. Some months I would get interviews and other months I would be the top contender for the position, but I was NOT landing the jobs. Concerned, I realized I needed a fresh approach restarting my career. I turned to Stefanie for help. I loved her background and experience, and identified with her career change. We began a series of sessions that impacted me not only as a person, but as a professional as well. Stefanie assessed me and worked with me to come up with goals & solutions that combined my best strengths, personality attributes, natural gifts and talents. She asked strategic questions and mentored me to apply myself in areas I was fearful of. We worked together to build up my strengths and experience to make an action oriented resume, cover letter and LinkedIn account that I was quite proud of. She gave me homework to come up with strong selling statements for networking events, and we role played how to respond to tough interview questions and come well prepared. Her genuine enthusiasm, energy and positive reinforcement highly motivated me each and every time we met. I not only looked forward to our meetings, but hated to see them end. Not only did I start getting more interviews, but I started to feel my confidence come back as she encouraged me and helped me figure out next steps for follow up. With our hard work and careful strategy, I landed a job that could easily become my dream position. I sold myself in person and knew exactly how to go into a tough interview with several people drilling me. I learned to show confidence and applied examples from my experience that was applicable. I would highly recommend Stefanie’s coaching to anyone experiencing struggles in the job market or just restarting a career change!”

“I GOT THE JOB!! When I first attended your workshop in October, I felt as if I would be stuck in my current position for the long haul. Your workshop, workbook, and coaching reminded me of my skills as an employee, reconnected me to my passion/interests/impact, and gave me the courage to make this major leap. I cannot thank you enough.”

“Compared to where I was two months ago, I’m definitely noticing changes with how I’m approaching my life and professional interests. The networking process, for me, is still a slow skill I’m starting to learn, but thanks to your insight and experience, I’ve been able to take effective strategies away from my sessions”.
