Unfortunately I had a bad experience with Alma La Vida. I complied with all the exercises that were…read moregiven to me (personality tests, SWOT analysis, etc), and the coach I had most of the time did not read anything I submitted until the day of the session. I realized most of these things they could just have had me fill out before my sessions started instead of using my money to go over tests available online. My coach was not at all prepared to speak with me when our sessions started. The sessions ended up me helping her catch up on what she had missed. I thought regardless, she must have some ideas of what path I could take and could lay out a plan via email to help me through. No, she said I would have a hard time finding a job (even though it's literally her job to help me find one!). My last session in what I'd pre-paid for ended up being ignored. After asking around to a few other career coaches on LinkedIn, one of them actually gave me some free advice on next steps to take and said I'd been scammed. It's all about marketing yourself, and she suggested some fields where my specific skills could be really valuable. ALV said they would offer my last session to someone more suited to me, but my question was, why wasn't this person offered to me in the first place? Isn't it their job to pair you with someone who is professional and understands your skillset? I asked them if they would address any of the wasted sessions that didn't help me at all, maybe in the form of sessions through this better career coach. They said no, and said it was my fault for not knowing that I had a bad mentor. I was really upset. They said it's not typical of them to issue refunds, but they'd refund for my last session if I didn't want to use it. Really a complete waste, and they are indeed very expensive. They do not go the extra mile for their clients.

Don't waste your time. They call you to offer you a $435/month career coaching plan. If you say…read moreno, the call ends. I guess they expect you to sign up for something without even seeing if their consulting makes sense, don't waste your time.

Two months does not sound like a…read morelong time however I can honestly say I've had immense shifts in my thought patterns, how I view myself, and my confidence level! All of these positive changes have led my life to take a new direction, one that I chose for myself. Alisha has allowed me to take on a new perspective and realize my potential power, and how I can create a new reality. This definitely did not happen over night but surprisingly, very quickly. I am sure this may be different for everyone and what they are striving to accomplish. What I can honestly say is that she takes the time to genuinely get to know who you are as a person, what is important to you, and what you hope to achieve in life. After our first session, I knew I made the right decision in meeting with her. Given her background, it became clear how knowledgeable she was on various life topics and offered me solid, immediate steps I could take to acknowledge what was important for me at that moment. I feel she takes on a very personalized approach, which allowed me to feel very comfortable and open with her right away. Of course I felt more motivated, and driven but in addition - she truly listens to you and cares about your wellbeing! She is able to view things in a different perspective and offer concrete solutions or action steps. Another aspect I admire is her relaxed, not rigid style of coaching, yet very professional at the same time. Everything is tailored to whatever is convenient to you. If you are thinking to hire a life coach/mentor/advisor/friend/and a genuine soul who is passionate about your goals, and helping you create a life you love...I would not hesitate one second to reach out to Alisha!

He is extremely personable and kind, which helped put me immediately at ease and open to the hypnosis process. Also, his space in the Gold Coast is so warm and welcoming. I highly recommend.

TLDR: I accepted a new offer at Capital One. The time I spent with Wilma gave me the confidence I…read moreneeded to know I would nail the interview process. Details: I highly recommend Wilma if you are prepping for job interviews and feeling nervous, discouraged or any of the other feelings that come along with the search for a new job. I was a few months into my job search. I was getting quick responses from several companies just based on my resume which was encouraging. I'd talk to the recruiter and they'd quickly pass me onto the next stage (interviews with the lead or team). I always felt they went well but didn't materialize into an offer. I had an opportunity at Capital One that I really wanted to nail so I called on Wilma who was referred to me by my husbands business networking group. When I knew Wilma and I were going to be spending an hour drilling mock interview questions, I was very nervous. But it was anything but. Shes incredibly thoughtful and direct, while also building up my confidence. She also provided a sheet of interview Qs to ask beyond the typical "why do you like working here". I asked everyone I spoke with the culture Q she shared -- "whose leadership style in the organization inspires you and why" -- and EVERY single person paused to say "that's a great question" before giving me very different responses which made me feel good about the company to hear great things about very different people at Capital One. I will keep your information on hand for the future and would be happy to recommend your services to anyone I know!

As a teacher for the past 12 years with many (what I thought to be) niche skills, I did not think I had many options for a new career. With the help of career assessments and coaching services, Wilma helped me figure out the value of my transferable skills. Wilma's personality, confidence, and humor are contagious. I believe that without her, I would not have gotten the first job for which I applied and interviewed. She was so understanding and supportive of me from the very beginning. I had to pause my career search so that I could focus on my mental health while working at my previous job, and Wilma was very patient with me. She maintained the same high level of understanding, support, and patience as I navigated taking career assessments, job searching, coaching, resume/cover letter writing, networking, interview preparation, and negotiation. Wilma made herself available to me, she listened to me, and provided me with great advice and insights. She was open, honest, and judgment-free. She is a breath of fresh air, and I was truly impressed with her and her company from start to finish. I highly recommend investing in yourself and hiring Life Working to help you at such an important time in your life. You will learn so much about yourself along the way! Thank you, Wilma, and thank you, Life Working!

But, if you want empirical data... she does a 360 review with managers/peers/reports at the beginning of the coaching engagement and then at the conclusion, and I can tell you that she helped me move the marker to demonstrate my improvement in my skills including communication, engagement and leadership.

Sheila Nielsen came to me highly recommended by two co-workers. One sought her out while still in…read morelaw school and considering dropping out of the program. Sheila helped her sort through what she liked and didn't like, gave her suggestions on paths that would best suither, and this girl is now a superstar at work. If only I had been lucky enough to have that guidance during school! The other was a lawyer who left the practice to get a masters in education. These two examples, plus their rave reviews of her skills, led me to believe that the cost of seeking career counseling from Sheila would be one of the best investments I would ever make- she clearly wasn't prejudiced one way or the other on keeping her clients in practice of law! Having practiced law for quite some time, she's obviously very familiar with the ups and downs Her work centers around attorneys and helping them find the best career path, either within the law or outside of it. She offers more than career counseling- including what I would probably describe as training for the often socially incompetent people who fall into this profession (I know just as many painfully awkward lawyers as I do smooth talkers). But since my experience with her has been with counseling alone, I'll limit my review to that She is incredibly thorough in getting you to open up about what you do and don't like, both about your job and in other areas of your life (talking about your hobbies and interests as well). You work through exercises that essentially give you a chance to describe your ideal work and life. She identifies trends in what you say that you probably don't pick up on, or perhaps actively try to ignore (guilty as charged). She has given me suggestions that I would never have thought up for myself, and insights about myself that I would have tried to not pay attention to if I was not forced to view them up close. (many of which mean I'm a terrible fit for my current position- well not shocking but at least nice to know I'm not imagining it!). The bonus that I would think makes her counseling different from general career counselors is her legal experience- she knows what is out there and has practiced in a few different areas of the law. Now my law school didn't really encourage nontraditional paths- pretty much the only career support you got was the push towards big firms) so her knowledge in this respect is invaluable to me. I wouldn't have the first clue of how to find something different. Perhaps most importantly to me, she provides an objective outside opinion- even if you know deep down that you're on the wrong path and all you need is to hear it confirmed out loud, this can make a big difference. For me, it has been extremely hard to deal with the expectations of the people around me, making it almost impossible to productively bounce ideas off of anyone. It seems like when you're in the position of facing decisions, everyone's got an opinion, and everyone's opinion is different (not to mention based on their own notions of what would be good, not really yours!) I'm still in the middle of my work with her and will have to come back and update this accordingly as I finish up, but for any others in my position, I truly think its worth the time and financial investment
