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!

After working part-time in the non-profit world and taking some time to prioritize my family and…read morevolunteering in the community, I was ready to transition back into a full-time career and wanted guidance to navigate the process. 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!

In those…read more11+ years I have gone back to school to get my degree, changed careers, gotten laid off twice (once during 2020), found work again in less than two months, and always found something higher-paying and with a better commute every time, as if the layoffs were a hidden gift. I have also nearly tripled my salary since I first saw Amanda and am much more satisfied with my line of work. I am also grateful to have found a new job in my field with a company that is hiring since I'm in a field in which the layoffs are higher right now. If I had never been a client of hers, I expect that I would be still be in a job that I didn't care about, making about half of what I make now, and working it only for the paycheck. Seeing Amanda was hands-down the best career decision that I ever made. My sanity, self-confidence, and bank account thank her. You will too, after a few sessions.

I'm incredibly grateful I was able to work with Chad. I would recommend him to anyone seeking more…read morepeace, ease, and clarity on their path. A friend recommended Chad when I was looking for a coach to support envisioning the next chapter of my career. I'm so glad I took the leap, as this work has improved all areas of my life-- not just at work. He connects aspects of mindfulness, spirituality, and psychology in a way that deeply resonated with me. The work was challenging, refreshingly to the point, and very much worth the effort. I felt supported through it all. Chad is an incredibly intuitive and generous coach, and I wish everyone was able to experience this kind of coaching and support. Go for it!

Chad is a remarkable person and incredible guide. I am a BigLaw partner who was finding that my…read moreprofessional success and personal life wasn't resulting in the day to day joy and satisfaction that I thought it would give me. Working with Chad is more than just counseling, because he has a plan and structure to move you through reflection, meditation, and imagining the future that is intended to give you a roadmap and not just identify current feelings and challenges. I have done professional coaching before, and what Chad has the capacity to do is merge professional coaching with something much broader and more holistic than just looking at your professional behaviors and goals. I highly recommend him to anyone feeling like they are at an inflection point and need someone to help guide them to the next stage.

From beginning to end it was a pleasure working with Lucas. He really takes the time to understand…read moreyou as a person and asks great questions to put together the perfect plan for you. 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.

This was our first time going through the college application process of today. Everything is so…read moredifferent from when we went to school, that we knew we needed a professional to guide us and our son on his next journey. Tiffany was a good fit, very organized and kept our son accountable and on track with the application process. She really listened to our son, guiding him through the process with his best interests in mind. She reviewed his essays timely with constructive feedback that helped give him a competitive advantage and made him stand out among so many applicants. As a parent, you naturally want the counselor to weigh your choices more heavily than the student. However, Tiffany tries her best to balance out the differences in choices. Tiffany's templates were very helpful and she had a lot of good references to share. Both us and our son had weekly action items. Our meetings with her were on time, focused and kept us moving forward. She took us step by step and explained clearly. There were some moments where it felt like things were moving a little too fast in areas we wanted to spend more time, but when we asked for clarification, she did provide it. Tiffany's systematic approach to the college application process, along with her recommendations on schools based on our son's interests, contributed to the high volume of acceptance letters from schools of his choosing. As a family, we committed to the university that best suited our son's personality, needs, and goals. Tiffany was there every step of the way. We are grateful for her support and look forward to going through the process again with her in another three years with our youngest.

Tiffany is amazing. She helped my senior son with his college application process…read more She helped him narrow down the college list. She worked with him to come up with a story about himself. On one occasion, my son decided to submit an appeal letter at the last minute. She was out of the country and my son was on vacation. Timing was very challenging. Nonetheless, Tiffany made herself available, stayed on top of it, and helped my son write and submit an appeal in a very short period of time. Best part of all is her communication skills. She knows how to work with teenagers. My son is introverted and sometimes it's hard for him to open up to people he doesn't know. Tiffany was able to make him feel comfortable and he was able to work with her genuinely. We were very happy with Tiffany's service, and when our younger son wanted to work with a counselor, we scheduled an initial meeting with her for him. During the initial meeting, my son already knew that he wanted to work with her and now Tiffany is his college counselor, too. I would recommend Tiffany to any high school student looking for an excellent college counselor. She is knowledgeable, approachable, and very passionate about what she does.

Amy helped me turn my life around!…read more I was originally very apprehensive about the idea to seek help in a life coach, but this year I realized that at the age of 30, if I'm not happy with where I'm at, then I must be doing it wrong. I knew that I shouldn't feel like I should spend most of my days without passion, happiness, and energy on a daily basis. I felt like a was going in the wrong direction with my career, and really had no plan of how I could get out of the rut I was in. My first session with Amy was so valuable, that if I never had another, I believe that it would have still changed my life. Amy didn't tell me what to do, but instead helped me identify what I really wanted to do with my life, what was stopping me, and what to focus on to be happier. She helped me focus my disorganized thoughts and ideas into a cohesive and actionable plan that I could take step by step. Nine months later I've never been in a better place in both my professional and personal life, and the best thing about it is that I know that I had it in me to do it with her help.

During my first session with Brandy, I immediately felt home. I don't know what it is, but her…read morecoaching style is one that's rooted in peace, freedom, and sincerity. I felt like I can tell her anything, and it's almost as if I were talking to a life-long friend. Her coaching doesn't stop at the end of the hour either. After each session, Brandy's always there to help or serve when I text or email her with something I'm having trouble with. Initially, I went in for her to uncover my blind spots, and even though she didn't say, "Josh, X, Y, Z are your blind spots," after each session, I'm always amazed at what I haven't been able to see myself. That being said, she's definitely given me what I was looking for, but more importantly, she's transformed my emotional, mental, and spiritual life. One thing to remember, though, is coaching is really a two-way street. At the end of the day, YOU have to put in the work and effort to further your own growth. If you don't care about your own growth, it doesn't matter how great your coach is... you will never grow. Brandy's job is to be the guiding light for your life, but it's you who still have to walk the path at the end of the day. That being said, Brandy will do whatever it takes to serve you, and it's something I always take comfort in whenever I go in to see her.

I cannot say enough good things about Gretchen. I started working with her when I moved from…read moreCalifornia to a new state where I had no professional network. 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!

I highly recommend her for the initial stages of career transition and new job hunt. I was looking to transition out of nonprofit + education into the tech industry and she single-handedly transformed my resume to be more appealing to tech companies. Before meeting with her, I was only getting those automatic - robotic responses from companies indicating that they were not interested in moving forward with me. Once I began using the resume that Gretchen supported me with, I was getting ~50% response rate and landed A LOT of interviews! After 2.5 months of getting her 1:1 support, I got offered a position at a tech startup in Palo Alto within my desired salary band (60% increase of past salary). Strengths: - resume support - tech industry knowledge - confidence builder - organization (google drive with all of our notes and next steps) - networking - LinkedIn optimization Areas of Growth - response rate + email communication - interview prep (using time to go through the story arc and providing real time + realistic feedback - her feedback overwhelmed me more so helped me) I truly appreciate Gretchen. She is an amazing human + coach.

I always end the working session with something tangible and actionable. She will get you the results you are looking for period. On top of this, she is always trying to work around my schedule, even when traveling. She truly cares.

Initially we got in touch as fellow coaches trading sessions for accreditation hours. I used her for random personal goals I thought of moments before our sessions started. At one point I decided to write a memoir and her attention to detail, insight, and encouragement really helped me get into a regular (hours long) writing groove. She also improved my coaching style, giving me precise feedback and suggestions which allowed my sample coaching submission to pass the ICF board review. If you need to get something significant done, I recommend Melissah. Partnering with her definitely makes difficult tasks accessible.

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.
