Coaching with Kathy Clayton has had such an invaluable and beautiful impact on my life. I reached…read moreout last spring, when I had hit a mental low, and knew things needed to change. I look back at the person I was then, and I don't even recognize her. Being vulnerable enough to change is extremely uncomfortable for me, but Kathy met me where I was at with such compassion. She has an unbelievable ability to educate, question, and motivate with both comfort and firmness. Kathy is extremely intelligent and brings the energy and insight that is needed for all kinds of situations. (I love her creativity and sense of humor too.) Because of our work together, I can now face life's challenges more more self awareness and courage than I ever thought possible. Thank you, Kathy.

When I began working with Laila, I was struggling, unemployed, and in a difficult place…read moreemotionally. The profound gift that Laila brought was the depth of presence that she carries. She listened astutely to everything I shared and also read between the lines, helping me articulate that what I needed to focus on wasn't even actually my career- it was my own personal growth and mental and emotional health. Her questions and carefully developed worksheets are truly holistic, providing an opportunity to reflect broadly on what a more aligned life looks like for you and all your dreams, passions, fears, etc. Yet, as I got clearer on what I needed, I still was unemployed. Laila recognized my immediate need to become financially stable, introducing me to the concept of "transition jobs" and helping me identify what type of work I would be able to do in order to sustain myself while having the time/energy/resources for the deeper personal development I knew I needed. Though it was a difficult process, and I needed a whole support system of friends, counselors, and Laila's holistic approach, I got to work applying for transition jobs. We worked together to create a series of resumes for my different skill sets and Laila honed the language used to describe my experience. She had example resumes and resources that helped me bring life back to my resume, which I had grown deeply disillusioned with. While applying to transition jobs, Laila advised me to apply to as many as possible so I could have the upper hand in making my decision. Still in a very low place, I took the first offer I was given. As Laila could have predicted, I didn't last long (only a couple of weeks). The whole experience helped me realize that I wanted something between a transition job and my dream job, a little more in alignment with who I am. Ultimately, I was given three incredible offers, and Laila helped me negotiate which offers were right for me as well as coached me in negotiating compensation for my skills. If you are somebody who, like me, struggles with imposter syndrome and fully claiming your value, Laila enthusiastically supports you in advocating for yourself. I never imagined I could get the offer I ended up accepting- I am earning the highest hourly wage I've ever earned in a part-time job with full benefits doing the kind of work I want to do (work not usually highly compensated). Throughout the whole process, I always felt I had somebody at my back who believed in me and was available to talk through each interview and the challenges of surviving in such a tough economy, but I also had somebody to celebrate each small win with. Thank you, Laila, for your presence, your attunement, your perseverance toward joy, and your fluffiness! Your support was deeply needed during a very difficult time and brought insights that will change the trajectory of my life. I hope that more people, especially those like me who struggle to live in the system as it is, can work with you to bring meaning to their lives (while also learning to cover the basic costs of getting by)! I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to work with you.

After asking around, all other contract employees with a JD were making $12 an hour more than I was. Kibby thinks this is fine since I was ultimately offered the job, but it's a job that wasn't close to what I was looking for, it's essentially call center work (which Kibby promised it would NOT be.), and after 6 months, because Kibby short changed me, I had made $12,480 less than all my peers with JDs. It's been over a year since I used ESP, my experience still bothers me when ESP comes up in conversation. People with less experience and less degrees coming from different recruiters all made more than me. I can't recommend avoiding Kibby and ESP strongly enough. UPDATE: After skimming the other reviews, people who are full white seem to have done better than me with Kibby and ESP.
