So, I originally wrote this review almost four months ago. Julie LaCroix saw the review and…read moreresponded to it. However, did she do anything to make sure she answered the main element of the complaint (that she won't stop spamming me in spite of numerous requests over the years - including those apparently only decorative "unsubscribe" links in her emails?). No. Screen shot for proof. Draw what conclusions you will. Original Review and Comment on Response: I had two appointments with Julie LaCroix several years ago. I ultimately thought the sessions were a waste of time and (quite a lot of) money. She decided my skill set made me a particularly good fit for a specific type of job, and she disregarded my repeated protests that the job in question went against my moral values. She made up her mind and was incapable of hearing anything that didn't align with her first (somewhat arbitrary seeming) idea. She ended our last session by throwing together a ridiculous, typo-ridden resume in a couple minutes targeted at a position I had made clear I would not apply for. (Since that time I finished my graduate degree and am working in a suitable career.) After our second meeting, I was ready to move on and not give career therapists another thought. I have not had that luxury, however, since Julie LaCroix has spammed me and stalked me on social media ever since. Every couple years, I get re-added to her email list which I have never given her permission to put me on, and she has not responded to messages asking her to desist. She also periodically tries to connect with me on social media (she is undeterred by my refusal to connect with her, and, again, does not respond to messages asking her to desist in contacting me). I understand that she thinks networking will help grow her business. I don't understand why she thinks harassing people and ignoring them when they object would be beneficial to anyone. Given her systematic abuse of my personal information, however, I am no longer surprised that she could not process my objection to an unethical career. **Regarding Response** Notice the non-denial regarding the abusive email practices I describe. Also note the absence of a statement that she would address this matter and make sure I am not re-added to her list again in the future. The rest is a matter of he-said-she-said, but why, after 11 years, would I have reason to think of her--much less make random false claims in a review? I would encourage her to check her email (julie@julielacroix.com) to see that I have, in fact, contacted her multiple time over the past 11 years to ask that she stop re-adding me to her spam list. She has also found me years after using her (dis)services and tried to get me to engage with her professional profiles on Facebook and Instagram over the years. The dishonesty/lack of integrity in her response here is appalling.

I can't thank Paul Belland enough for the incredible support and guidance he provided throughout my…read morejob search. When he first reached out, I had zero legal experience and was a whirlwind of nerves about stepping into something entirely new. But Paul made the entire process feel seamless. From the beginning, he was encouraging, insightful, and genuinely invested in my success. Thanks to his thoughtful preparation and advice, I walked into my interview with confidence and clarity-- and landed my very first Legal Admin role! I ended up completely falling inlove with the company I now work for, and I never would have taken that leap without Paul's help. What really sets Paul apart is how present and supportive he continues to be even after placement. He checked in regularly leading up to my first day, made sure orientation went smoothly, and even now, I know I can reach out at any time with questions or concerns. He's quick to respond and truly feels like he's with us every step of the way! His professionalism, kindness, and ability to see potential where others might not is truly unmatched. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity he gave me and would recommend him to anyone looking to make a meaningful career move. Thank you, Paul. Thank you Adams and Martin Group!

Juliet is an excellent career coach!…read more I recently had a few career exploration sessions with her in which she helped me to define what exactly I'm looking for in the next phase of my career. Juliet believes in loving what you do and helps her clients to achieve that goal. She gave me many resources to access to help me with my career path in addition to listening to me, asking questions, and giving great advice. After three sessions I was able to better define what I was seeking career-wise, keep the momentum and motivation going and create a plan of attack in just how to land the next job. I was most appreciative of the extra time Juliet would spend with me (my sessions flew by with her). She also gave me information on local companies of interest to pursue...information that would have taken me hours of research to find on my own. I recommend Juliet for any career exploration needs. In addition, she spent some time reviewing my resume and discussing cover letters. She has a great instinct for how to sell oneself with these crucial documents as well as how to prep oneself for interviews. I highly recommend hiring Juliet.

Hi Juliet- I just…read morewanted to thank you again for all your hard work, understanding, and helpful advice that you have blessed me with during our time working together. I landed a position with one of the city government roles I was targeting here in Orange county! This role has been a great fit for me, and I enjoy and respect the other people I work with, and the people in the community that we serve. I had several offers after our work together and ultimately decided this one was the best fit for me. The work you did with my personality profile, career goals, and resume was extremely helpful and definitely had a lot to do with the number of offers I received. I also performed very well in my interviews not just because of my experience in this field but also because of practicing the questions and hypotheticals we went over together. You are a master of your craft and I will not hesitate to mention you if I have any other contacts who are looking for resume and or career coach professionals with your skill set. Thank you again for everything!

I'm incredibly grateful for my therapy sessions with Michael. From the very beginning, he created a…read moresafe and judgment-free space where I felt truly heard. He's extremely patient, takes the time to really listen, and is thoughtful in how he responds to your needs rather than rushing the process. I came into therapy knowing I had a lot of healing to do, and Michael met me exactly where I was. His calm presence and genuine care made it easier to open up and work through things at my own pace. Each session felt intentional, supportive, and grounding. If you're looking for a therapist who truly listens, respects your journey, and supports real healing, I highly recommend Michael.

I decided to book an appointment with Michael based on his reviews here on Yelp. After investing…read moretime with him I can say with 100% certainty that he deserves every amazing compliment given to him. I've been to highly regarded therapists who spread out meetings for months, consuming unnecessary time and investment. His superpower is that he epitomized complete altruism with laser sharp discernment and focused attention that facilitated deep healing of emotional wounds so buried I didn't even know they existed. He also leaves the door open for further growth and healing without feeling locked into a contractual relationship. Honestly he should patent his Method for all coaches to follow! I give him the highest possible rating and encourage others to not hesitate reaching out to him.

Working with Teresa was a real game-changer. I needed someone who could provide action-able…read moreresources and tools that could help me make a fairly major career pivot. I didn't know where to start, but I noticed that so many of Teresa's reviews had REAL results, like folks actually landing a new career after their time with her. Thankfully, I'm happy to report the same -- and wouldn't be able to say that without her. The Career Clarity Course is a great way to get your wheels turning on possible career changes, and it offers tons of great questions and quizzes to help open your mind to career paths you wouldn't have before. And when combined with in-person sessions with Teresa, it's an incredibly helpful set of tools, since she provides a ton of great, real-time feedback and support that's flexible to your situation. Basically, if you're on the fence like I was, just make the smart move and invest in Teresa's course. You definitely won't regret it!

Nothing has had the impact of one three-hour session with Amanda. She's above and beyond the best life coach/therapist I've ever worked with. There's a quality that's hard to describe -- a rare emotional intuition and spirituality guiding her practice. She knew exactly which questions to ask to get to the core issue underneath my suffering, and she accurately reflected back what I was going through in a way that helped me reframe my thinking entirely. She empowered me to design my own solution to a problem I've been searching for a breakthrough on for years. This kind of guidance is one in a million, and something I've rarely found in the coaching or therapy world. I'm so grateful for the time and care I received from Amanda through Empower House Coaching. 10/10 recommend! Thank you so much for the breakthrough!!

Leadership was unclear, constant change left me uncertain, and my confidence in myself and my decisions was at an all-time low. I struggled with self-worth, second-guessing my abilities, and feeling like I had no real direction. Then, I went through the 8-week Clarity Catalyst course, and everything shifted. Almost immediately, I started seeing wins. I experienced a complete mindset shift, gaining not only clarity about my career but also a renewed sense of confidence and trust in myself. For the first time in a long time, I felt empowered to take control of my path. By the end of the program, I had the clarity I was searching for about my career and started taking tangible steps toward my next chapter. My confidence grew, and I finally saw my own value in a way I hadn't before. The program helped me achieve exactly what I was hoping for--clarity, confidence, and the courage to move forward. This experience was truly life-changing. I no longer feel stuck--I feel empowered. Thank you, Amanda!

I worked with Erika during a time in my life where I needed some guidance and felt lost on many…read moresubjects in life. I was someone who was not very spiritual, let alone seeker help through holistic means. However, over the past year I came to understand my spiritual side and knew I wanted to find a healer. I found Erika through Yelp and after researching reviews, her website, and having a free consultation I decided to book my first session. Since then I have purchased a few more sessions and also referred my sister. My sessions started with a guided meditation which felt incredible. There are thousands of guided meditations online (e.g. Youtube), but having one at the start is a session with Erika felt different and more uplifting. The sessions would consist of topics that I needed help with. The topics vary depending on the day and what I felt boiling since the last session. They consist of but not limited to life in general, personal relationships, work, past trauma, and personal development. Without getting into the details, at the end of each session, I felt like I had discovered something deep inside me that has been blocked. Erika helped extract whatever it is that has been giving me issues and provided me with guidance moving forward. She also me cut some knots that had been holding me back. Erika is very gifted at what she does. She provides a very comfortable and safe environment that allows you to share personal information that you may not share else where. All of my sessions were conducted online through zoom due to covid. I don't believe there would be a different if it was online or in person as I am still getting the same healing.

I've taken those skills everyday in life with me since that session. It has positively affected my relationships, the trust in myself and has helped heal me. I've told so many friends about this experience and they were all in awe. Thank you Erika , I hope we have a chance to meet again soon. Wishing you life will always treat you kindly.

Here is what happened from the most "ethical" trainer in the business. The man that teaches long term investments yield and building relationships... I got SCREWED.... there was a personal issue outside of business (as REaltors are we allowed personal issues :) .....) I asked my coach if I could pause it and reconvene later they said no.. and kept billing the card. I said I would like to do this but and I do not mind paying for the sessions and just getting a credit towards future sessions as long as I do not lose the money... They said OF COURSE... We want to invest in you and your track record without Tom Ferry is great and this will propel you to super star... At the time I was already top 10% in the world with Coldwell Banker. When that issue died down they had been paid THOUSANDS of dollars and when I called no one EVER called me back. When I got sales calls asking me to renew my membership I said why would I pay when I was told these credits would be available.? I called repeatedly to my coach Kip. the local numbers sales numbers and the HQ... NO ONE calls back... That is OK.... I just saw another pitch from Tom Ferry... I think that when you SCREW people out of thousands of dollars... there is Karma... I hope that Karma lands on that organization. and I intend to revisit this until every manager out there refuses to talk with me... I was told things that were lies... they kept thousands That tells you a LOT about a company. Even as I talked to management ..they saw the payments going in.. and lessons not delivered... but they just are those type of people. RUN......... there are better programs for a LOT less money AND they will not STEAL your money. I also find it interesting that they no longer EVEN respond to the negative reviews.... Go read the others ... Appears that is no longer important to them......... We call that a "CLUE"

I randomly phoned in one day in August soon after moving down here in the OC, just to get a general type of idea of places that were hiring around the area and what potential skills I could develop/were in demand as a recent college grad during a full-blown pandemic. Within 2 days of them simply getting down my qualifications/info were they able to call ME back (instead of the other way around!!) and offer me a job that fit within my criteria. While I'm sure it was definitely a mixture of sweet lady luck and perfect timing, it was still awesome that Cindy consistently followed up and made sure both me and my employer were both happy with the results. I am now transitioning to full-term employment a few months later and happy I'm able to work during these difficult times. Highly recommend the agency to anyone who is in need of employment that works for them and struggling to see results in the job hunt. It can't hurt to try and see if it'll work for you, especially with the Express team here to help!
