I didn't have a system established before in determining how to proceed with changing careers, evaluating what I wanted as a career, and how to approach applying to different roles.

When she saw/heard me light up about this new field, she encouraged me to pursue my interests. I also like her demeanor and comfort in asking challenging questions.

Now it's turned into an AI-driven numbers game with little to no personal involvement from the people who are supposed to be "recruiters" and upcharging the client as such. If I'm hiring someone and paying a recruiter to provide me the best candidates, I would want to know that judgement and experience are involved. Otherwise, why would I pay that extra fee?

It was hard to find a job where I felt both respected as an employee and compensated properly. When I came in contact with Colleen Fallo from Exact Staff I learned I had found that exact combination! Ms. Fallo was extremely welcoming and easy to talk to during the initial interview and I was impressed by her willingness to ensure my transition into Exact Staff be as smooth as possible. Ms. Fallo is an excellent leader and a great example during my time with Exact Staff. For anyone considering working with Exact Staff or Ms. Fallo, I highly recommend it. In my case, I worked two previous jobs before Exact Staff that left me unhappy and discontent with the workplace environment, mostly stemming from how I was treated as an employee and a co-worker. Once I was hired by Exact Staff under Ms. Fallo I quickly realized I no longer had that problem! For those who are considering working for Exact Staff I urge you not to focus on the initial hourly pay scale... that was one of my initial detractors too! In my experience, making one or two more dollars an hour does not cover the mental and emotional strain caused by working a job where you are not respected or are miserable! Plus there's plenty of opportunities for wage increases and promotions at Exact Staff. As you can see I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Exact Staff and Ms. Fallo. Like I've said before, if you're looking for an opportunity to work for a great company with lots of potential for growth your search stops here with Colleen Fallo and Exact Staff. - HNB

When I met Liz, I knew she would be THE coach for me. Coming…read morein I was disorganized, overwhelmed, and lacked confidence. Coaching has made a huge difference. My confidence is sky-high. Her capacity to hear what was needed in my business influenced my actions toward incredible results. Her direction allowed me to present my companies to fortune 100 enterprises with persuasiveness and expertise. I highly recommend Liz and Integrative Leadership Strategies. I plan to continue to retain her coaching as we aim towards a million-dollar company!

I worked with Liz for almost a year and a half. She was so great at helping me out with exactly…read morewhat was holding me back that particular week. She is very knowledgeable in helping a business owner or team with organizational strategies, and ideas to help grow business. As I got more and more comfortable with speaking on the phone with her each week she even became like a therapist for me in particular, and would listen to my personal issues as well as my business issues and was always willing to offer advice. Please if you are on the fence about coaching, give Liz a chance. You will not be disappointed.

I highly recommend Lucy - she is excellent at what she does and the choice to see her is one of the…read morebest I have made. 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.

My experience with Signature Staffing was mixed. There is one lady running the whole show, so…read moreshe's fairly busy. It is difficult getting in touch with her and when you do see her, she doesn't spend much time with you. Which basically means she has a "perfect opportunity" for you that just showed up on her desk, yet she doesn't know what kind of job you want. I do have to give her props since she did give me my current job (a temp-to-hire position), but not without struggle first. She sent me to an interview with Beth Israel's Liver Center. After the interview, I explained to her I wasn't interested in working with patients and I also went into how I had another interview with another company and wanted to see how that played out. She got mad at me for not telling her about the other interview and went on to tell me if I didn't take this job, I'd never get one because I was competing with Harvard and MIT students. She also said something about how most people don't have the luxury to wait around for another job (I didn't either, but I also didn't want to be miserable). Finally, after quite a few trips to her office, she asked what I wanted (or at least I was given 5 minutes to finally tell her what I was looking for) and then I ended where I am today. If you can, try to wedge in what job you want to begin with. She might have the job, just not the 5 minutes to listen to what it is you want unless you come right out with it.

I cannot recommend this program strongly enough! Shannon helps you be what you want to be. 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.

I'd hire a professional to fix my car, or operate on my heart... so I'd certainly hire a pro to guide my way to my new career. Working with Shannon helped me set up a road map to reach my goal. I learned how to: write a 21st-century resume, re-do my LinkedIn page, and I learned (again) that there's no time like the present to start the first step toward my goal. I learned that my goal isn't ridiculous and could actually provide a huge benefit to people. I really appreciate the holistic approach to Whole U. advising services. Everything in this world is interconnected, whether one believes that in a spiritual or scientific way, and one's career is not excluded from that.
