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.

Those of us who don't work in career advising don't really know what we're doing when it comes to…read morechanging a career. I'd hire a professional to fix my car, or operate on my heart... so I'd certainly hire a pro to guide my way to my new career. Working with Shannon helped me set up a road map to reach my goal. I learned how to: write a 21st-century resume, re-do my LinkedIn page, and I learned (again) that there's no time like the present to start the first step toward my goal. I learned that my goal isn't ridiculous and could actually provide a huge benefit to people. I really appreciate the holistic approach to Whole U. advising services. Everything in this world is interconnected, whether one believes that in a spiritual or scientific way, and one's career is not excluded from that.

I received a recommendation for Scott from a friend, called him up, and he spoke with me for more…read morethan half an hour. In that initial call he was very illuminating about what he could possibly help me with. This week, I completed a "test drive" with Scott - a free introductory session - he jumped right in and got to the meat of the issues right away (Scott had me complete some forms and a couple of questionnaires online Before the session) and I came away with a couple of very useful useful action items. All of this before I've even decided whether to work with him! The "test drive" is a unique and a terrific way to figure out if Scott is the right fit for you. Not a sales pitch at all, but a very useful and insightful process. I can already tell that Scott is extremely professional, knowledgeable, very energetic, and filled with terrific ideas. I'm confident that Scott would be able to successfully help me navigate this next phase of my career.

I own a business, and was having a number of issues, from employee management, to difficult customers and so on. I reached out to Scott via email with my needs, he responded promptly, and we setup a try-out session. After the try out session, i decided to give it a go. It's interesting, i was originally looking for help for my business decisions and dealings only, but what i have received from Scott is so much more. He has led me on this path of personal development which has not only made me a better person, husband and friend, but a far better business owner than before i knew him. I can't recommend him enough!

I found Jim through a search for local life coaches. After reading the testimonials on his website,…read moreI decided to immediately reach out to him. This was one of the best decisions I've made in recent years. Over the years, I've always felt very unhappy with the quality of my life. Late last year, I was feeling very overwhelmed with certain issues. I wasn't exactly sure what steps of action I needed to take to make positive changes in my life. His personality and communication style made me feel very comfortable during our sessions. As a result, I was able to easily open up to him about the issues I was experiencing in my life. Our collaborative work on my action plans has already helped me experience dramatic changes in a short period of time. I highly recommend Jim's life coaching if you're looking to take immediate action in changing the quality of your life!

She listened, she asked good questions, and she was always well prepared for our next meeting.

I would definitely recommend her services.

We started with a consultation and then subsequently met twice a month, and she was willing to offer me a non-profit employee rate, as otherwise, I would not have been able to work with her. During our work together, we looked at potential "work baggage" that I did not want to take with me on my journey to my new job, and how to tackle it. She also sent me information in advance to fill out so she was prepared when we met. I would definitely work with Sharon again, and would recommend her to friends and colleagues.

Her capacity to hear what was needed in my business influenced my actions toward incredible results.

She is very knowledgeable in helping a business owner or team with organizational strategies, and ideas to help grow business. As I got more and more comfortable with speaking on the phone with her each week she even became like a therapist for me in particular, and would listen to my personal issues as well as my business issues and was always willing to offer advice. Please if you are on the fence about coaching, give Liz a chance. You will not be disappointed.

Pratt has proven to be one of the most catalytic elements in my personal growth over the past seven…read moreyears. Pratt's always encouraged me to challenge myself, reach deeper, higher and farther in my various journeys, be they professional, personal or interpersonal. Working with Pratt has helped me leap lightyears ahead from where I'd been and has been a life-changing, eye- opening, truly transforming experience that I'll never forget. You'll get out of it what you put in; but if you're ready, willing, able and prepared to do the work - which is very approachable, very customizable and sensitive to one's needs, and can be extremely transformative - you'll be rewarded in spades of personal growth. Pratt's deep academic education and background empower him to be far more than your average life coach; and his empathy, charisma, patience and decades of experience teaching and mentoring thousands of students in various ages, backgrounds and capacities will leave a lasting mark in your life long after your work with him is done. (Not that real self work is ever done!:) If you're considering working with Pratt, you owe yourself at least a trial session before you make up your mind; he's just that good. There aren't enough yelp stars to bestow on the experience of doing self-work with Pratt.

Then I entered into an agreement with Pratt for a 12-week coaching experience. Over that period, Pratt guided me in ways that helped me choose what to focus on in my life and how to achieve things that I never would have otherwise. The most important outcome was this: changing a very old, negative belief I'd always had about myself. The best thing is that this change feels permanent. Pratt has an amazing ability to listen to lots of information and keep it all in his head in order to draw from it week after week. He is smart, intuitive, energetic, and positive - qualities anyone would seek in a coach. I guess I have to admit, I'm a believer now.

His balance of organization and flexibility to move and coach on the fly provides the foundation needed for a strong focus, while never making the work seem limiting or confining. I feel most comfortable sharing everything with Jon - he listens actively and asks the optimal questions for exploring further answers and avenues of growth. I received coaching from Jon by phone, since I live on the opposite coast, and it felt just as personal and connected as if we were in the same room. I'd say the combination of his down-to-earthness and professionalism is the best partnership for what I'd look for and recommend in a coach. Because of it, I know he's always in my corner and taking care of me. He cares so much about his work, about helping others, about continuing education and building resources. He even has an app coming out soon that will help so many with their own self-assessments and active steps toward breakthroughs and growing within! No matter where you live: if you're a teen or parent and looking for coaching in the family realm, Jon's your guy. If you're going through transitions, whether relationship or career, and looking for guidance and insight, Jon's your guy. If you've experience trauma and are looking to return back to a state of grounding and self-love, Jon's your guy. It's so important to find "YouTime" each and every day to take care of ourselves, and Jon's the guy to help you find it with ease, fulfillment, and great discovery.

I worked with Sandy in the Summer of 2012 to help me with a career move. It was a difficult time…read morefor me as I was trying to push myself out of situation that was not ideal. I had tried many things, but ultimately meeting and working with Sandy was one of the major turning points in my search. While working with Sandy she was a valuable resource; an objective voice, a sounding board, and most importantly, a guide in my search. While Sandy won't find you a new job or pick your next career, she will put together a process (and make you stick to it) and give you the tools to get you to where you want and need to be. After I did move forward and into a new position, I worked with Sandy, to make sure my uptake and priorities in my new role set me up for success. I can honestly say, not only did Sandy help me in my search, she has helped me become more aware of myself, what works for me, what I need to improve, and what I should try to limit exposure to. I value these items almost as much if not more than the job search help, as this self awareness will not only help me today, but throughout my career! I recommend Sandy Machson to anyone looking for a Career help (whether looking for a change or looking to perform at their peak), as she she is flexible, smart, and caring! (Also don't believe me? Than check out her LinkedIn profile, even more rave reviews there!! www.linkedin.com/in/whatsnextcoachingconsulting)

Sandy helped me to figure out what was keeping me from fully embracing either path, and to make a choice I could live with and not look back. Identifying what I enjoy about my work and developing strategies for dealing with the aspects that were uncomfortable for me were crucial in the process of making a decision. I was motivated to take on tasks that were outside my comfort zone but were really important to my professional success. I would wholeheartedly endorse Sandy's services. She was a pleasure to work with.
