Ms. Olatunde is truly brilliant! and, the most talented writer I know. And, best of all she speaks…read morethe language of "academia." Most importantly, she has assisted me over many years with every fellowship and university application I've ever written. She aided me in restructuring these important essays to throw away the fat and focus on just the meat. Ms. Olatunde gives incredible feedback and gently guides you towards those areas you need to focus on. And, with Ms. Olatunde's help I achieved success in my undergraduate and graduate school entrance essays, my fellowship essays, including various other graduate schools I applied to. As Ms. Olatunde aided me in writing a number of essays to different schools her assistance afforded me with options to choose and select from multiple schools. As a result, I have a B.A. from the University of California and an M.F.A. from a film conservatory. Her talents, skills, and assistance are unmatched by others. She has aided not just me over the years but also all four of my siblings--all of whom obtained graduate or post graduate degrees! Moreover, she continues to assist me throughout my career with editing technical writing from time to time. I cannot endorse Ms. Olatunde enough! You will obtain success and a plethora of guidance, and that in and of itself is worth its weight in gold!

My 30 min consultation with Katherine was really helpful! I learned formatting tips and ways to beef up my resume by adding a header, summary, and core competencies and creating sectional dividers. She recommended outcome-based bullet points that highlight the benefits and quantify the results rather than a laundry list of tasks. Katherine was friendly and thorough and even had enough time to quickly proofread my hubby's resume. It was really nice to get an extra set of eyes! While the $299 starter package seems a bit pricey, it's a good deal considering that you are equipped with the A team of an interviewer, drafter, and editor. They will rewrite your resume and can fine tune and belt out those bullet points. While my resume could use a few tweaks, the starter package is a great option if you're looking for a resume overhaul without doing all the guess work. I found the resume consultation surprisingly useful. Would highly recommend it and consider the packages!

I'm a better coach, leader and entrepreneur after having worked with Cat. She also helped me celebrate more and invest in my happiness and self-care in a way that is refreshing and sustainable. What a joy!

Coaching did help me figure out some of those things, but more than that I learned to accept responsibility for every aspect of my life. That wasn't easy at times and it was really great being in a supportive group watching others learn those lessons too. But what was really special about the experience was that Cat didn't just offer support and accountability for what I thought I should be working on. She challenged me to turn my attention towards things I was actively avoiding, the things I was afraid to face. Now, I finally understand that I create all of it--the good and the bad. I'm more confident about what I truly want and I know I have all the power, time and energy that I need to keep changing my life.

I'm a huge skeptic and even though I went in there with the idea in mind "this won't work for me", it actually did. I didn't hear anyone, except one guy, say they "didn't feel anything." The guy who complained was asking odd questions the whole time and taking notes. (Example of an odd question, "Can I drink coffee all day instead of water?" I'm sure that's exactly what Michael Phelps drinks all day when he's training, coffee.) When I left, my husband asked me how it went and I said fine, except I think there was a blogger or something there writing an article. Which is fine, except in a setting where you need to feel comfortable, he was a huge distraction. I think the weird note taker guy even asked her at one point could she do magic. Magic? Like, pull a rabbit out her pocket? Other than that it went well and I saw people at the end signing up for more sessions. I've recommended hypnosis (specifically Irit) to every single one of my friends since I've been. I even told one friend in Virginia Beach that it was worth the weekend trip. If it doesn't work for you, then it doesn't. I spent my money on it and I'm pleased with my results. Did I cluck like a chicken, no, but I have shed some pounds.

She is caring and speaks to her clients (me!) in a direct yet compassionate way. Lisa is also funny, very positive and full of great energy. She loves to laugh and it's contagious.

If you think your potential matters, then Rockport and The Pathfinder by Nick Lore are worth every…read morepenny! I'm talking opportunity cost. College debt. Low-paying entry-level or dead-end jobs. Yellow pages (ok, internet) guesswork. Sketchy advices. High stress, low satisfaction. Poor health and quality of life. A checkered résumé. No horizon. All these costs can overwhelm you (like me), but it needn't be that way. I found Rockport and The Pathfinder over 20 years ago. The methods made sense even to the younger me, and Rockport testing gave me hard data about myself that complemented the inquiries in the book. But I tried to DIY the process and failed to follow through. I spent decades in wrong jobs. I spent money on false starts in school, and lost wages working jobs I hated-usually starting over again each time. I read books that fell flat (Parachute) or just confirmed a suspicion that I was lost (Do What You Are). Online tests (Holland, Strong, etc) gave me pieces for a fee but never helped me complete the puzzle. I was unconsciously comparing all these ideas to the framework of The Pathfinder and Rockport's simple premise: that I can design a life and life's work that I love. So, having tried unsuccessfully to make my own way, I got back in touch with Nick Lore. What a rediscovery! Rockport immediately gave me Simon & Schuster's latest edition. All-new materials illustrate dozens of self-administered inquiries and tools, and new breakthrough language talks readers through the process step-by-step. Way beyond a rehash of personality assessments and goal lists, the 2nd Edition of The Pathfinder makes sense of each career puzzle piece. It shows readers how to get past stumbling blocks, how to market the new you in ways that many find impossible to realize alone. Finally, here is a book to embrace with confidence! Be forewarned: those who want easy answers won't find them, while those who do the work that matters will make breakthroughs. If younger me sucked at staying on task, and lost time and money choosing DIY, then you can save yourself all that when you reach out to Rockport. I'm still working with my Rockport coach, working a new career path, and feeling progress. You can, too!
