I've been working with Ric for the past 2 months and in my experience the combination of life…read morecoaching and counseling that Ric and Touchbase offers (and delivers on) is phenomenal. I've experienced both of these components separately at different times in my life and am finding Ric's unique blend of the two modalities produces results superior to either one alone. On the life coaching side, I have found Ric to be well equipped with tools and techniques that have helped me explore and develop valuable habits related to time management/planning and goal-directed thinking. And when I have inevitably hit roadblocks along the way Ric has masterfully facilitated grounded 'counseling-type' processes that have co-created with me the space for me to look at, and in many cases move through, the blocks that were halting my progress. If you're like me and looking to create breakthroughs in your life and step more fully into your greatness, I fully recommend you consider working with an experienced, passionate and compassionate coach like Ric to help you get there.

What do you want to see in a review of this type of organization...?…read more I GOT THE JOB. Correction...I started my new career. Magic isn't the right descriptor for Tracy's skills. She is a MASTER. The resume we worked on together, by phone and email, was incredible. Her coaching and techniques and even directly some of her words 100% drove my interview agenda. I have never felt so prepared and confident during an interview in my life. And this was for a position that, at 46 yrs old, I was essentially entry level with no true experience. I have already engaged Tracy again AFTER the job was landed to align my LinkedIn for this new career. There is no question she will be my mentor and coach for a lifetime based on her unbelievable professionalism and talent. She couldn't possibly have done more or better for me, and yet I still know she will. She captured my business with her stellar ratings, but she won my lifetime partnership, referrals and adoration with her actions. I don't mean to make this sound easy - you will have work to do with her. Again, magic isn't the perfect explanation. Tracy cannot make something out of nothing - no one can do that. However, I do not say this lightly...stop shopping now and hire her for your success if you are driven and willing to put in the effort to partner with a master career engineer. Thank you, Tracy!

I just completed Katie's "Delivering Fearless Feedback" course, a 3-day (spanned over three weeks)…read morevirtual course. Why didn't I take it sooner? From start to finish, the experience was five stars. Katie personally reached out to follow-up with me before starting the course (after hearing from my manager I had some interest... thank you! I needed that!), my materials arrived on time, the online portal clearly outlined our three week session; our group size was intimate enough for everyone to actively participate. Katie's methods are authentic and truly come from a place of compassion and professionalism. It speaks to my own values as a person and manager. She has so many great talking points and nuggets of information. (I wish Katie could live in my ear!) But alas, that's impossible, so I'll need to continue to refresh myself on the materials (so grateful for the recordings), and stay in touch with via her newsletter and LinkedIn posts.

I took the Excellence in Management class in November with Katie Ceccarini, CPCC, PCC and HIGHLY…read morerecommend it. There wasn't a session where I felt like I wasn't leveled up. I've better understood how to elevate my team and myself. The biggest takeaway for me as a strengths-based leader was that I can center my teams strengths while never sacrificing the ability to build an amazing feedback model. Beyond the class, Katie has helped me elevate myself and overcome my imposter syndrome by giving me real tools that I can use every day. She is a great coach, who cares deeply and she shows it every day. Feedback isn't just a gift, it's a foundation to building a psychologically safe environment that fuels highly effective teams. I highly recommend Katie's services. I wouldn't be the amazing professional I am today without her.

He was knowledgeable, direct, and encouraging when I was unsure about utilizing ECP. My coach, Marilyn, provided very steady guidance during the ups and downs of the job search, and helped me prepare strategically for interviews, which strengthened my confidence and performance. After 26 years with one employer, I wasn't fully familiar with today's job-market expectations, but ECP's structure, resources, and accountability helped me re-orient quickly. With their combined support, I secured a new position within six months. ECP was professional, responsive, and focused on real outcomes. I would recommend their services to professionals navigating a transition or re-entering a modern job search.

I was very disappointed. They told me they were a marketing agency, which is true…read more Beware - they don't guarantee you finding anything. And I didn't. I had a mere handful of interviews which I worked my a$$ off to get, and their scout had promised, "you'll be having so many calls.. " blahblah. So I doled out several thousand dollars I didn't have and got very little for it. Their resume rewrite wasn't great, and their AI-enabled tool I could do better with claude or chatgpt. They did teach me a few things about using LinkedIn, but otherwise, their advice was outdated, and they paired me with someone who didn't seem to be engaged and didn't know how to help me. They also tried to give me these warm leads but they were at the wrong level. I followed their advice on how to harass people on LI, and never heard back from anyone that way. I definitely wouldn't recommend this company. Save your money.

Alexa's incredibly personable and genuinely wanted to get to know me and my story. She digs below surface-level discussion by using various tools to help with deeper contemplation and discussion about values and how they shaped my career goals. Also, on a practical level, Alexa is one of those great "connector" types. She seems to know someone in every industry/company in town (not exaggerating). I'm much happier now primarily because I'm better matched in an industry/role that fits my personality. I strongly recommend Alexa to anyone who's exploring a new career direction or just needs a boost with their job hunt.

She helped me with crafting an updated resume, updating my professional social account, and creating a killer cover letter template. With Alexa's encouragement, my self confidence increased and within no time I had landed a great new gig and even negotiated my salary. About a year and a half later, I realized I wanted to take a new direction with my career, and again I turned to Alexa for guidance. She helped me to identify aspects of my previous jobs that I loved and ones I didn't care for, and expanded my knowledge about what was out there that would be a good fit for me. I ended up finding a job I truly love that combines my greatest professional strengths. I cannot recommend Alexa and Loken Careers more to anyone who is struggling with finding their "calling" or just looking for a better situation. Pro tip: do the homework! ;)

Communication was evasive, promises were not fulfilled, and I saw no meaningful results from the service. To me, the operation came across as more of a cash-grab than genuine career support.

Once the review was posted, they threatened (and carried out their threat) and stopped the revision. This was a total waste of $600. Find a REPUTABLE company to revise your resume! I am filing this under 'Lessons Learned'. 1) Don't believe the shiny positive reviews, check and check again (there are others who were ripped off - look under 'not recommended reviews'). 2) Don't pay large amounts of money for an online product from an unverified company. 3) Make sure they have a money back guarantee! 4) When you get a sense that something is amiss (which I did with that first dinosaur of a writer) - get out fast!!! It would have said me a lot of wasted time and aggravation if I had just stopped the process early, knowing that the $600 was defrauded (but I kept hoping if I was 'nice' to the unpleasant writer that she might actually do her job. Boy, was I wrong!). I put the effort into writing this review in the hopes that others do not have to go through this horrific experience. Good luck.

For me there was so much uncertainty surrounding my work life due to the pandemic, it spiraled me into a bad place of panic and anxiety. Enter Megan and fruition coaching. After our first chat she taught me a powerful tri-ad that truly works in any situation (personal and professional). I was focusing on the "what ifs" of life which I didn't have the answers to. Megan coached me into focusing on "what's good" and it changed everything. I've always believed we're all lifelong learners and I'm constantly working to change the way my brain asks itself questions to focus on what's good. Megan helped my anxiety disappear by teaching me the tools I needed. I'm forever grateful for her coaching as it shifts the way I've been thinking to see a situation with a fresh perspective. Her program is tailored to who you are individually to propel you to your best self so you can live your most rewarding life. It's worth every penny spent as you'll start to see a shift in yourself and the way you look at the world and that is invaluable. THANK YOU Megan!
