I cannot recommend Meredith Walters highly enough! She was exactly what I needed during an…read moreunexpected period of career indecision. From the very first session, I found her to be approachable, open-minded, and non-judgmental; she created a space for me to catch my breath as I sorted through my priorities and options. Her empathy, patience, and authenticity made it easy to open up and explore. She asked insightful questions that helped me consider angles I might not have otherwise considered, and she provided practical tools and resources that I can revisit at any time. Thanks to her guidance, I now feel more confident, focused, and equipped to navigate my career path.

When I first came to Meredith, I was at a crossroads after 15 years of struggling with a lack of…read morepurpose and unhealthy coping mechanisms. I felt disconnected from my true self and direction, honestly, I didn't even know what that actually meant at the time. In just a few months of bi-weekly sessions, Meredith helped me find crystal-clear purpose and begin significant healing. She skillfully guided me through peeling back layers to rediscover my authentic self, buried beneath years of constructs. I'm now 7 months into this incredible journey since surrendering, and I can truly say: I love who I am, I love where I am, and I am profoundly grateful for Meredith's exceptional guidance and dedication. She helped me achieve staggering progress in a short time.

Your Next Jump recently reviewed my resume and I am so thankful that they did! I scheduled a late…read morenight appointment at 9pm on a weekday. I appreciated the email reminders before the appointment. Timothy gave me a call promptly at 9pm and walked me through the basics of strengthening a resume. Since the appointment was only 15 minutes, he cut right to the chase. I took notes as he discussed how to word a resume to get employers to notice it. At the end of the call, I received some example resume templates to use. The appointment went by fast but Timothy was efficient in his explanations. The information Timothy shared was extremely helpful for me! I would highly recommend using Your Next Jump for help in improving a resume.

Being a victim of COVID lay-offs has been difficult. Hundreds of people who are supremely…read morequalified are applying for the same jobs I have (in one case the hiring manager told me they got 600 resumes!). I have been sprucing up my resume by reading online advice but knew it could be MUCH better, I needed a way to make sure my resume stood out. Your Next Jump came to the rescue. I spoke to Tim Lo who within just 10 minutes into the phone call already gave me insightful feedback and really highlighted a few things to keep in mind while sprucing it up. Now my resume is really sharp and something I can really be proud of, a resume that puts me front and center and moves me forward to the hiring managers. I can't say enough good things! Try them out, I promise you will not regret it.

What am I going to do next? How can I earn a living and feel fulfilled? How do I create a career…read morepath that incorporates my beliefs and my natural talents? These questions have reappeared throughout my life.  Even as a child, I was excited and passionate about whatever it was that I was going to do in the distant future. The hurdle was figuring out what "it" was that I wanted to do! In the meantime, life went on, I earned a good income, worked hard and put off solving those nagging questions. Three weeks before my executive level position was eliminated, I decided it was time to find the answers. I researched executive coaches and decided upon Jody Michael Associates (JMA) based on reviews just like this one. I spoke with Jody who listened, assessed my situation and referred me to Nancy Scheel based out of the Atlanta Office.  Thank goodness I made the decision to work with Nancy. I am not sure I would have approached being out of work with such enthusiasm had it not been for our time together. Nancy is a one of kind, gifted and compassionate advisor. She is strong, sharp and unlike any person I have ever met.  Her job is unique and challenging.  After our time together, I still ponder over the research, education, training and passion it must have taken for her to be so great at what she does.  Her scientific approach to discovery is accompanied by a compassionate and genuine interest in those she coaches.  Nancy, over time and using the JMA methodology, compiled a comprehensive, measurable assessment of the real me. She helped to untangle my past, assess my strengths and plot forth a course of action. The JMA approach uses a fine-tuned, time-tested and verified method of career and self discovery. The JMA curriculum cannot be found in a book or achieved alone.  The secret to success is doing your homework and working with the highly skilled and professional career coaches at JMA.  The result of working with Nancy and JMA was a developing a set of tools unique to me that provide confidence, clarity and strategic next steps for achieving my career goals.  Our work together confirmed that I am an entrepreneur. In addition, we identified the type of team I want to work with and the values that my business must uphold to meet my expectations for success. Going forwarded, I know exactly what it is that I need to do to achieve my desired goals. Consequently, I also know what doesn't work for me and what I do not want to do. What a gift!  Thank you Nancy and Jody!

There are not enough words to describe how fantastic Wanda's services are. I first hired Wanda to…read morehelp me with my resume and LinkedIn profile and wow what difference those improvements were. I could not have created the value-add resume that she created for me. I remember in one interview the hiring manager thanked me for the format of my resume, I confessed that I had hired a professional because I knew I could not take credit. After about 6 months with my shiny new resume and securing many interviews, I noticed I was getting passed over for jobs that I was highly qualified for. That is when I had to realize that it wasn't them, it was me and I needed help. That is when I remembered that Wanda also offers coaching Services. She prepped me for the interviews and helped me negotiate the salary that I wanted. With Wanda's help, not only did I get the job that I really wanted but I also secured the salary that I wanted as well. Do yourself a favor, make the investment, you will thank yourself later.

She was able to effectively articulate my skills and expertise in a way that is highly engaging. I strongly recommend working with Wanda to tell your story.
