I…read morefirst saw her when I graduated college and then here and there as things have come up in life that needed tending to. At one point I was living in Plymouth but I would still drive to Cambridge to have a visit or two with her. I have always found Kyle to be very insightful and sincerely very caring, always leaving me with the feeling that I am glad she is my therapist and have made that connection with her. I have even gone for long gaps of not seeing her, sometimes as long as 10 years and the amazing thing is, when we've gotten together again, its like I saw her yesterday and I am always amazed at the things that she remembers, even the small things. I had an instance a few years ago where I had to get some help for a relative and a call to Kyle was the first one I made and she gave me the names of people to get in touch with to get my relative the help they needed. I can't say enough good things about her.

I found Kim Childs by doing a Google Search for Life Coaches near me. I had been floundering for a…read morefew years, and grew to be very unhappy with the stagnation in my life after the COVID-19 pandemic. My husband's coworker talked about how he had worked with a life coach in middle age to help him figure out his next steps after an intercontinental move to the US. I read Kim's website and noticed she was associated with Kripalu, is a former yoga instructor, and I was intrigued. I read a bit of her blog and decided to email to set up an introductory phone call. I felt like we connected on the call. She was lighthearted, but helped me move forward with action items in just that one phone call. Before our first meeting, I was really nervous. I didn't know what she would be like in person (I can pick up on other people's energy very easily), but I was soon at ease as I realized she is a kind and thoughtful person, who is also joyful and positive. She is spiritual, and educated, with an "East Meets West" style of coaching. During my three months working with her I explored more opportunities than I have in a decade on my own. Having biweekly meetings held me accountable, but gave me time in between sessions to accomplish our collaboratively created goals. If I didn't accomplish everything, that was fine. We would discuss what I didn't do and decide whether to add it to the next to do list or drop it. She taught me how to better read my intuition when making decisions, and to clear negative beliefs that were holding me back. I now have a path forward to explore several interests, and I have the tools Kim taught me to use along the way. She also referred me to an amazing acupuncturist/reiki master when I expressed interest in energy healing (this alone was worth a million dollars). Working with Kim for three months has been more effective in changing my life than five years of therapy. I urge anyone who is on the fence to take the leap and explore whether she is a good fit. The worst that will happen is she's not the right fit for you; the best that will happen is Kim Childs will change your life!

It sounds cliche, but we worked together for 6 weeks and it totally turned me around in a better direction. If you are really ready to work at making a change in your life, Kim is an incredible guide - warm, creative, empathetic and full of great ideas. The best investment I could make in myself!

However, as many others have said, you just can't be too careful or get too comfortable in today's economic climate. I would much rather be prepared for the worst, and hope for the best. When Yelp offered a free 15 minute session with Timothy, I wanted to give it a try. I've helped others with their resumes in past years, but looking at my own is always so much harder. It really needed a brush-up. Tim's advice was wonderful, clear, and so easy to follow. He provided me with templates that would be more attractive to any potential readers. Over the next few weeks, I plan on using one of the templates to pop my own information in, and have it at the ready "just in case."

I'm employed not but not naive about the impact of this pandemic on every industry including nonprofit - so I'm ready if a layoff happens.

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.

Thank goodness for Stephanie!!!…read more I decided to look for a life coach when I felt like therapy wasn't exactly what I was looking for (I had previously been working with a therapist and didn't feel it was the right route for me). I did some initial research online for life coaches in the area and set up a consultation with Stephanie, this was at the beginning of March. I have been chatting weekly ever since. I feel like Stephanie and I had an instant connection. She completely understood what I wanted to work on and helped me through some big life changes. Changes like losing a loved one (or two in my case!), looking for a new job/career, and everyday life struggles (trying to stay healthy, how to reconnect with lost friends, how to communicate better with my husband). She has been such a positive influence for me and helps me work through even the littlest of problems (without ever making me feel like it is a little problem). One of the many accomplishments we worked through was getting a new job! She helped me through "mock interviews", how to negotiate salary, and how to get through the first few weeks of work. I thought to myself, once I'm settled at my new job, I feel like I can stop working with Stephanie as often as I do. But I can't. I love her positive vibes, the way she can make me rethink a problem or issue, and that sometimes things that I may have not thought were bothering me, come out in our conversation naturally. Stephanie is easy to talk to. I feel like when I'm talking through anything, there is never judgement or criticism. Only positive feedback. And that's what has really made me love working with her. Now I've become a super positive person as well. Our talks have made me look at things or problems a different way and reevaluate how i can make my decision. Even my husband has noticed a change! I'm so grateful that in my "google search" Stephanie was there and I made the decision to consult with her. So to Stephanie: Thank you, thank you, thank you....You are the best! :)

She brings compassionate insight, warmth, and clear focus to each conversation, from the moment a coaching relationship begins. Her creativity, practicality, and most of all, sincere interest, shines through in every moment of working together. I've loved her ability to take a big-picture approach while also always guiding me toward specific strategies tailored to my personal focus. She has offered richly-layered philosophical frameworks as inspiration to guide our work together, introducing me to writers and visionaries who have transformed my mindset over time. Indeed, in each session, she has equipped me with practices that have felt immediately intuitive, and which I will keep as part of my daily life going forward. With her guidance, I've achieved aspirations, imagined new possibilities, and learned a lot through the journey. I am profoundly grateful.

Lucy is an empathetic listener who will ask hard questions (in a very kind way). She kept me "on topic" and accountable as I met my personal and career goals. She shared knowledge and resources relating to salary negotiation, resume building, LinkedIn and answering interview questions. Lucy helped me navigate a difficult conversation at work and I am truly grateful for her support in advocating and speaking up for myself. As we continued to work together, I further clarified my personal values, skills and strengths which gave me a clearer sense of purpose. I am no longer stuck in my head and am making active steps forward. If you are thinking of working with Lucy you should do it!! I am amazed at how much has changed for me over five months and how I feel so much happier, more confident and optimistic.

I came to her feeling confused and a bit fearful, and just a few months later am feeling ambitious and excited about my future. I was just accepted into an amazing graduate program in nursing, a path that I had only vaguely considered prior to working with Lucy. I am confident that I would not be in this spot today, with a big door wide open in front of me, if I had not worked with Lucy. She is patient, intelligent, non-judgmental and most importantly - warm and kind. I can't recommend working with Lucy enough.

I originally found their listing on a few job boards and it was clear to me that I was contacting a recruiting agency and not applying for a job itself, so I cannot speak for those suggesting false information and the like. The next day I received a call to meet with the team I would be working with and had a very pleasant experience doing so. After some time of minimal contact, things started to kick back up and I had weekly check-ins with a member from the team I was working with. This eventually led to a multiple interviews with an employer I had successfully landed a job with. I found the feedback provided by my Workbridge team helpful as they always made sure I was prepared for an upcoming interview. My sole gripe would be that the information provided can often be reiterated a few too many times, and many times the questions I'm asked feel more like they're being read from a script as opposed to genuine curiosity. But overall, if you need some extra help landing a role, I would advise you to give Workbridge a chance. You never know what opportunity may arise, and when coupled with your own job searching, you may find them to be an excellent resource.

I coached with Kira in early 2013 as I embarked on a major career move. Kira's holistic approach dealt with all of the obvious, as well as underlying, road blocks I would have to work through in order to achieve my greatest success. Kira helped me develop an action plan that addressed the logistical elements of my new professional endeavors, as well as, with strategies that dealt with more of the social emotional side of making a major life change. I highly recommend Kira as a coach for any woman looking to make a change personally or professionally or even if you are just trying to figure out "what next?" I know you will enjoy each of your sessions with her and without a question you will have a huge fan cheering you on every step of the way!

The Creating a New World course has helped me give myself permission and power to get through this pandemic, while giving me a real community to experience it all with. Since collaborating with Julie Ann I have learned to listen to parts of myself that I hadn't really realized were speaking.
