With just a few sessions, we were able to find a career path which was more suited with my personality traits, values, and life goals. I would recommend Sheila to anyone seeking direction in his or her career.

Sheila Nielsen came to me highly recommended by two co-workers. One sought her out while still in…read morelaw school and considering dropping out of the program. Sheila helped her sort through what she liked and didn't like, gave her suggestions on paths that would best suither, and this girl is now a superstar at work. If only I had been lucky enough to have that guidance during school! The other was a lawyer who left the practice to get a masters in education. These two examples, plus their rave reviews of her skills, led me to believe that the cost of seeking career counseling from Sheila would be one of the best investments I would ever make- she clearly wasn't prejudiced one way or the other on keeping her clients in practice of law! Having practiced law for quite some time, she's obviously very familiar with the ups and downs Her work centers around attorneys and helping them find the best career path, either within the law or outside of it. She offers more than career counseling- including what I would probably describe as training for the often socially incompetent people who fall into this profession (I know just as many painfully awkward lawyers as I do smooth talkers). But since my experience with her has been with counseling alone, I'll limit my review to that She is incredibly thorough in getting you to open up about what you do and don't like, both about your job and in other areas of your life (talking about your hobbies and interests as well). You work through exercises that essentially give you a chance to describe your ideal work and life. She identifies trends in what you say that you probably don't pick up on, or perhaps actively try to ignore (guilty as charged). She has given me suggestions that I would never have thought up for myself, and insights about myself that I would have tried to not pay attention to if I was not forced to view them up close. (many of which mean I'm a terrible fit for my current position- well not shocking but at least nice to know I'm not imagining it!). The bonus that I would think makes her counseling different from general career counselors is her legal experience- she knows what is out there and has practiced in a few different areas of the law. Now my law school didn't really encourage nontraditional paths- pretty much the only career support you got was the push towards big firms) so her knowledge in this respect is invaluable to me. I wouldn't have the first clue of how to find something different. Perhaps most importantly to me, she provides an objective outside opinion- even if you know deep down that you're on the wrong path and all you need is to hear it confirmed out loud, this can make a big difference. For me, it has been extremely hard to deal with the expectations of the people around me, making it almost impossible to productively bounce ideas off of anyone. It seems like when you're in the position of facing decisions, everyone's got an opinion, and everyone's opinion is different (not to mention based on their own notions of what would be good, not really yours!) I'm still in the middle of my work with her and will have to come back and update this accordingly as I finish up, but for any others in my position, I truly think its worth the time and financial investment

The two stars is for our experience with the Landmark Worldwide Feedback Form. Not to the Landmark…read moreForum. The first part of this is the original message we were trying to send through the Landmark Worldwide feedback form. The part after that is about not being able to get our message through on the Landmark feedback form, or not knowing it went through. Could someone please forward this important feedback below regarding North American Masterclasses, to the right people, as we were't able to get it through on the feedback form, or don't know what went through, or if it went through clearly? -- Original Message: This feedback is for the people accountable for the Chicago Masterclasses, New York Masterclasses, Los Angeles Masterclasses, and the person accountable for the overall schedule for Masterclasses. Or anyone who has the ability to make a difference with this. It is a big suggestion. But could make a big difference. Would it be possible to stagger the North American Masterclasses? Right now, the way it's been in North America is that the North American Masterclasses all start and end around similar times. So... There is always about a month, (3-7 weeks) at a time where there is no Masterclass at all running in North America. Meaning, there is a around a month were there is no Masterclass session you can be attending. Yes, there are regular seminars you can be in. But it is not the same. Especially, for those of us who have been in the work for a long time and many of us who have even been in leadership roles. Please consider that a month is a long time, especially in the world we are living in today, where it is more important than ever to have something like the unique structure of a weekly or so Masterclass to keep these conversations alive. And even if you look at some of the other Masterclasses in other areas of the world, this gap exists. And also the time difference makes it hard for us in North America to fill in with a Masterclass from say India or Australia or something. Or even sometimes the UK. Would it be possible to have a North American Masterclass that runs along a similar schedule as the Indian or Australian Masterclass. The problem is the North American Masterclasses then all sort of start up again around similar times and end around similar times, with some slight variation. So there's been just this big gap where there are no Masterclass sessions at all in North America, and then all the sessions return all at once, and it's all at once back again. It make sense on many levels why it might need to be this way. And that each center would want to keep their participants with them rather than risking them taking a Masterclass seminar at another center that might start up and run while they are on break. And a true stagger could make a big difference for those of us who would choose to keep going with a weekly or so Masterclass structure in and have then overlap, in a way that would allow for so many of us to have Masterclass participation to be consistent and ongoing. And it would still allow those who wanted a break in between to have a break, as there is usually a break between the end and the new beginning of a masterclass at each center. And yes we could always do a single course in between, or repeat the forum, and try to get by in the regular seminars. But the Masterclass offering is not the same. It is a unique more practical consistent and sourceful structure. And right now there is an opportunity being missed. And there is a repeated offering gap. because all the Masterclasses in North America choose to start and end around the same time. Does anyone reading this have the power to make a difference with this? Again, a big suggestion. But it could make a big difference. -- Spent a good chunk of time trying to get this through on the Landmark feedback form. Wanted to get it there straight to the source. Kept getting error after error. And we were told to send feedback there and that it could be anonymous. Sent it anonymously as we wanted to pass on the feedback without being contacted. We simply tried putting an email we don't use that often or noreply in the email form, so that we could get it in the suggestion box, so to speak, to the right people. Why did we have to try different approaches and send it in more than once? Well, first it wouldn't let us send the whole message through, so we tried oh so many times to send it through a section at a time. And got error messages after error message. Is it because we were sending more than one message, or more than one from the same email, or because there was the same topic heading in each. Tried changing topic and email etc. Still just got errors. we still don't know if it went through. Or went through repeatedly, or out of order. Even spent a bunch of time condensing to one message that was less clear. still got errors. Don't know if it went through but this feedback was really important.

Landmark…read moreEducation is a place where people should expect to be treated with respect, including with a customer service issue or if someone is calling asking for help or a question. If someone calls to find out more about the Landmark Forum or courses we should be able to be confident that the person they are going to interact with each and every time always treats them with kindness respect and professionalism. And even know in the back of our minds that the people at Landmark in the office or in customer service will always go above and beyond. Customers, new customers or graduates, should never expect to get the run around, to receive non answers or ever to be talked down to, whether they are signing up for the Landmark Forum, moving their Landmark Forum, cancelling their Landmark Forum, or finding out more about the Landmark Forum or another program, or they need help with anything else related to customer service. The person they interact with from Landmark, whether in a quick moment, for a quick question, or something more detailed, could mean the difference between them doing a life changing program and not, or continuing in the next or future life changing programs or not. And the person they interact with should be an expression of service kindness exemplary customer service and professionalism, as that is something Landmark does say it stands for.  Not for some people. For each and every person. In each and every interaction. If we tell someone they can get help with anything related to customer service in the office, we want to be able to say with confidence they will be great with you and they will help you with whatever is needed regarding your program or customer service needs each and every time. Adding, withdrawing, moving things around, so you are in the program you need, the program that best suits you, and things are taken care of, and that each customer or potential customer is left feeling taken care of. really every time.
