In 2020, when I left social work behind, l didn't immediately search for the next job. Instead, I sought resources to help me find myself and uncover my true purpose in life. That's when my good friends, Nat & Dan, recommended A Path That Fits-a career und life coaching program that truly made a difference in my journey. From that moment, l knew I was heading in the right direction. I am not here because I needed a JOB... I am here because @connectmortgagegroup and I - ARE MEANT TO BE HERE!!! This passion has started since 2004 when I started as a part time College Student and part time Loan Processor. If you're feeling lost, stagnant, or even complacent, turn to prayer-and if you're looking for additional guidance, I highly recommend A Path That Fits to help you discover your true purpose and calling, one that brings you 1000% happiness! I'm so grateful I found Adrian Klaphaak - Purpose Coach before getting married and having kids-it gave me the chance to truly find ME - MYSELF.

I have been working with Mara Rose as a career and life coach for over a year and I've had a…read morewonderful experience. When we first starting working together, I was at a stressful and frustrating point in my career and considering a change. We dove deep and explored every option, leaving no stone unturned. We developed methods to evaluate every potential route I could have taken, discussed the pros and cons of big decisions, and worked together to create a vision of my future that I wanted--then made a plan to achieve it. Mara was excellent at helping me figure out my strengths, my career criteria, my personality traits, and all the things that make up who we are, but we don't necessarily think about. I learned so much about myself through the process. Mara was thoughtful, organized, kind, and extremely supportive in every one of our sessions. She also has a great sense of humor and we make each other laugh a lot, which keeps our sessions fun. If you're considering working with a career coach or life coach, know that it's a relationship and relationships require work from both sides. This isn't a service where you answer a few questions then someone tells you what job you should have. There are Buzzfeed quizzes for that. With Mara, I brought ideas to the table and we worked through them together. She provided resources, tools, and a framework to guide my thinking. She brought her own ideas to the table and we discussed them. There was homework. Research. Big things to think about. Lots of introspection outside of our 1-hour sessions. I've since started a new chapter in my career and I continue to work with Mara for her guidance on leadership, balance, and where to devote my energy. She's a wonderful coach and an awesome human being.

My first meeting with Coach Colleen Campbell felt like meeting with a long time friend, she is warm and encouraging. At first I thought I only required resume review assistance and interview coaching, but over the approx. 8 months that I met with Coach Colleen Campbell, she provided much more. We collaborated together to articulate my work-related values, strengths and overall career criteria. As we identified potential industries and roles that would be a fit, she provided valuable targeting and interviewing strategies to help stand out. I am now in a rewarding analytics role and feel confident in my new professional identity. Thank you Coach Campbell!

I toyed with the idea of making a drastic career change but was paralyzed with indecision for a while. I figured I should probably find a professional career coach to help me get some clarity, and that is when I met Lucas. Lucas took the time to really try and understand my career situation, so that we could formulate a plan that was unique to me. We started with career aptitude tests which helped me learn more about myself. We defined and prioritized my career goals, and explored the many paths I could take to reach them. Also, Lucas is a resume magician, transforming my plain, wordy resume into a much more impressive, concise one. He also helped me with my LinkedIn profile which I appreciate since I am a total LinkedIn newbie. He basically did almost everything he could to set me up for success. I highly recommend Lucas whether you are starting out in your career or changing your current career path. He can provide the support, insight, and accountability to help you achieve your goals.

I had a career journey that was a bit different and Lucas gave me the confidence to put my best self out there. Lucas is a genius when it comes to resumes, LinkedIn updates, interview prep, and cover letters. The interview process was where I was the most nervous but with all the tips and tricks Lucas provided I was extremely confident during each interview as the prepping really paid off. While going through interviews Lucas was extremely supportive and flexible with his schedule to ensure I was ready for every round. I received an offer and I could honestly say I could have not done it without Lucas's support and guidance. Thank you Lucas!

This was the first time I've ever done therapy so I had no idea what to expect. Abigail helped me deal with and process all of the different emotions and feelings I was experiencing. She's been an amazing life coach and has helped me navigate through the many changes I've made in my life. Most importantly she has been very supportive with my spiritual journey with God. I love her flexibility with being able to accommodate to my schedule to meet both in person and on zoom. I will continue to see Abigail and I highly recommend her to anybody looking for not only a therapist but a life coach.

Abigail helped me out a little over a decade ago when I was at my lowest. She led me towards…read moregreater happiness, and helped mitigate one of my most traumatizing conditions. I leveraged her support again about 4 years ago while I was in a different set of struggles, and it brought me to a brighter place. Now I am in a position of needing to make some incredibly positive changes, and there's no one I would trust more to help me achieve what she has helped me understand is possible. She teaches lessons of caring for myself in ways that really resonate. When I think of typical support for mental health, it's so sterile and disconnected. But with Abigail, I feel like I'm more in tune with the world instead of alone in my own head. I see myself as part of a greater whole, and feel inspired to connect with both myself and my loved ones in meaningful ways. She doesn't hide her humanity to help those under her care, but lets it shine forth and inspire. I highly recommend those in need of guidance and support to connect with Abigail.

One day, I reached out and was connected with Tess Zeito. Our first call was serendipitous - I knew at the end of the 30 minutes that we were meant to work together and meet. I started with the 8 weeks plan with the option to extend. I am finishing up my 8 weeks and I put in the work and stayed committed to working with Tess every week. I feel transformed, empowered and have so much clarity. I trusted the process and now am going to extend my time with Tess as there is more ground to cover, especially around professional development. I am so glad Tess is my life coach. She helped me transform and get out of a fear loop that was holding me back. I am beyond grateful to Tess. Thank you.

She helped nourish a certain part of me that I was always reluctant to feel and had a hard time in trusting in myself. She also empowered me to make the necessary changes and gave me the right tools to tackle all that problems that hindered my personal growth. She is extremely intuitive and empathetic in her methods of coaching and it made our sessions highly productive. I cannot thank her enough for the development and progress that I have made for the last six months. I highly recommend her to anyone that is having problems in any aspects of their life and are willing to change for the better. She has been a true blessing to my life and I am forever grateful for her.

Amber met me where I was and gave me support via meditation techniques, networking techniques and frameworks to make my transition. She is an expert in time and energy management (which is a term she taught me!). I successfully made my transition, I got an offer from my dream company (Getaround).

First, Gretchen helped me define what I was looking for in a new job and research organizations aligned with my goals. Next, she took the pain out of writing a resume and cover letter by helping me highlight and take credit for the important stuff and rolling accomplishments up into big measurable wins. Finally, she's an ace at interview prep. She can quickly assess what themes to focus on and which to leave out and how to answer those annoying 'tell me about yourself' questions. An hour spent with Gretchen will save you 5 hours of muddling through, iterating, and second-guessing yourself - a spectacular return on investment for a busy mom like me. I just nailed my first C-suite level interview and am on to the final round. Thanks Gretchen!
