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!

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.

Earlier this year, I found myself at a crossroads in my career. I had worked hard to become a…read moreProduct Manager and, while I found success, I also faced some real challenges. Being a new father, balancing work and life as a PM was tough--and on top of that, I wanted to master my current role so I could confidently move into the next phase of my career. I reached out to my mentor and dear friend Vikas, who suggested I connect with Merideth. I'm so glad I took his advice. What I appreciated most about working with Merideth was that she didn't just side with me on every gripe or frustration I had. Instead, she offered a fresh perspective that challenged me to see things from a more balanced viewpoint. She then helped me develop skills to address these challenges constructively, empowering me to manage difficult situations with more confidence and clarity. Merideth also helped me carve out the time and space for self-reflection and discovery, allowing me to dive deeper into understanding my strengths and what truly brings me joy. This led me to realize that much of my focus had been on trying to conform to what I thought others wanted, rather than leaning into my strengths and passions. Merideth helped me build a framework to approach career decisions with confidence--both in my day-to-day work and during my recent job search. This enabled me to be selective about the opportunities I pursued and comfortable walking away from those that weren't the right fit. If you're looking for a coach who can help you grow in your career, I can't recommend Merideth enough. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to hear more about my experience, or contact her directly. You won't regret it.

I practiced law for many years and stepped away after my second child was born to spend time as a…read morefull-time caregiver. When I started to think about how and when I would re-enter the workforce, I hit a mental block. I didn't know if I wanted to go back to lawyering or to pivot to something new. I also wasn't sure how I would focus my career exploration, in light of the time constraints of being home all day with two small kids. I engaged Merideth for a 3 month coaching program to help me navigate these challenges, and I am so thankful for my experience with her. Merideth helped me gain clarity about what I want my life to look like once both my children are in grade school, and how I want my work to fit into that vision. Through working with Merideth, I was able to assemble a list of career "non-negotiables" with respect to the skills I want to use, the values I want my work to reflect, and the way I'd like to structure my work schedule. Moreover, Merideth and I fleshed out concrete ways of exploring my interests in small, focused steps, and compiled a list of concrete career ideations about which I am truly excited. In addition to helping focus my career planning, Merideth helped me work on my mindset. Even though I am an accomplished person who has met "long shot" goals in the past, it is a major challenge for me to imagine I can curate a career I am passionate about, and in which I have control over my time and energy expenditures. Merideth helped me with this mindset shift (and I continue to work on it). Merideth also taught me about the "negative tapes" we all play in our minds, and how it is possible to re-record them. Doing this work required more vulnerability and self-reflection than I initially anticipated, but it has empowered me to indulge interests I'd long dismissed as "impractical," and to see new possibilities for myself. Merideth is warm, friendly, caring, and a great listener. She is also an excellent accountability partner. The process of completing her Career Compass exercises was so thorough, I have peace of mind that I have left no stone unturned in examining my values, skills, and preferences. I am also so grateful to her for continually reminding me of what is possible, and that I am capable of having a satisfying career that is compatible with the personal demands of this season of my life. Thank you, Merideth!

She provides great tools and insight in all facets of my life in such a short amount of time (6 months). Before meeting Leah, I was lost and confused with my career, love life, and self worth. 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.

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.

I've been working with Aly over the last few months and truly couldn't recommend her more highly…read more Some of my favorite conversations we've had have been about my values and what's important to me in a company and role. She has an amazing ability to ask thought provoking questions to help you know yourself better, and will challenge you to let go of preconceived notions about why a certain path may be not possible for you. If you're like me and initially thought that career coaches were just for when you are contemplating changing companies or industries, think again! Whether you're considering switching career paths, want to figure out what your values and priorities are when it comes to your career, or simply want make the most of your current position (like I did), career coaching can help with that!

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.

I received a complete resume overhaul and when I received the draft I was impressed with myself hahaha. That's a testament to Heather's work on my resume. The 1 on 1 discussion to go over the draft was truly a collaborative effort and I was extremely happy with the finished product.

To me, writing my own résumé was like cutting my own hair. You might think 'who knows your head…read morebetter than you?' but personally I find it comes out better if someone else with experience does it. Working with Madelyn and Nikki I encountered first-class people, top-drawer service, and a great outcome. My résumé got such a great makeover, I hardly recognized that it was me that it represented, it seemed like someone much more impressive. I was amazed that while the content was basically the same, the layout, and language was so much more eye-catching and compelling. Since I started using the revamped version, I've actually been getting more contacts, phone screens, and interviews. Coincidence? TBH I don't know but I'm glad I took the step to get help from Madelyn and Nikki. As others have said, there are lots of people offering to re-do your résumé and it's hard to know who to trust. I'm glad I went with these guys, however. They really get it, their creativity, professionalism, and enthusiasm are hard to top.

She brought structured thinking and concrete frameworks to our sessions that helped me cut through the noise and actually make decisions.

I'm now actively prototyping different career paths at once: pursuing a Master's in Art Therapy, working at a high school in San Francisco, and doing strategy & operations consulting for Planned Parenthood affiliates. I was hesitant to invest in coaching, but I no longer have any reservations about that decision.

West Oakland Job Resource Center TDL Pre-Apprenticeship Program…read more I am so grateful for this opportunity, there is so much to be said about this pre- apprenticeship program. I am a person who has been out of work due to a disability for the past 15years. After a lot of therapy (mental, physical and emotional) I took back my power and began my search for something that could help me become whole again financially and educationally. My journey took me to Mandela Construction Apprenticeship, the course wasn't available at the time. I sat asked questions, then I was introduced to gentleman who made a call that led me to the TDL Apprenticeship, which is an industry that I am familiar and passionate about. This guy Mr. Douglas Butler actually met me down at West Oakland Job Resource Center when I began my journey by first filling out an application and doing an orientation with Ms. Regina this was on June 27th 2023. The orientation was group centered with about 10 people. At that time we were introduced to this Powerhouse of a woman Joyce Guy- founding director, who gave a honest and straightforward presentation and conversation about the reality of having a career, building a career and sustaining it. Which I was in awe with. Rarely do people take the time to speak honestly about mentally and emotionally seeing your shit so you can keep a job. Doing your work on all levels so that you can be successful and then put you with a team of professionals to cover all bases so you don't have an excuse to not have a quality high paying career with full benefits. We were assigned to careers coaches to flush out what we wanted to do and a beginning plan on getting there. I walked out of orientation and immediately told 20 more people and posted them on my Facebook page. I was called in soon after to join the Transportation, Distribution and Logistics Pre-Apprenticeship Program where I was was blown away with extensive support, training and opportunities. In one months time ...

The team is much more extensive there are names I can't remember right now but every person is there for your success. I won't give everything away but I can tell you this I haven't had to come out of pocket to make these things happen. A way has been made and I am taking the opportunity taking my power back and living my success story. Thank you for being part of my journey. Karla....
