I cannot recommend this program strongly enough! Shannon helps you be what you want to be. I am the…read moresame person I was before her program - yet simultaneously completely different. I had been on an exhaustive 10-year career search, looking for a position that fit others' expectations of where I should be next . . . Not realizing that the career I was already making for myself, was most closely aligned with my values, beliefs, and desire to live a balanced, yet well-paid life that puts my happiness, and presence for my children first. (As Shannon put it, I am like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz - in that I didn't need to "look any further than my own back yard.") I wanted clarity over the future direction of my career, and to get to where I want to be. This goal was met due to the expert advice of Shannon. My product and brand has been strengthened, and I am much more mindful and intentional about the career decisions I make. Shannon listens, then reminds you what you said is important to YOU, rather than fit you into a cookie-cutter program. I wholeheartedly recommend the Whole U. process.

Those of us who don't work in career advising don't really know what we're doing when it comes to…read morechanging a career. I'd hire a professional to fix my car, or operate on my heart... so I'd certainly hire a pro to guide my way to my new career. Working with Shannon helped me set up a road map to reach my goal. I learned how to: write a 21st-century resume, re-do my LinkedIn page, and I learned (again) that there's no time like the present to start the first step toward my goal. I learned that my goal isn't ridiculous and could actually provide a huge benefit to people. I really appreciate the holistic approach to Whole U. advising services. Everything in this world is interconnected, whether one believes that in a spiritual or scientific way, and one's career is not excluded from that.

I highly recommend Lucy - she is excellent at what she does and the choice to see her is one of the…read morebest I have made. Lucy is an empathetic listener who will ask hard questions (in a very kind way). She kept me "on topic" and accountable as I met my personal and career goals. She shared knowledge and resources relating to salary negotiation, resume building, LinkedIn and answering interview questions. Lucy helped me navigate a difficult conversation at work and I am truly grateful for her support in advocating and speaking up for myself. As we continued to work together, I further clarified my personal values, skills and strengths which gave me a clearer sense of purpose. I am no longer stuck in my head and am making active steps forward. If you are thinking of working with Lucy you should do it!! I am amazed at how much has changed for me over five months and how I feel so much happier, more confident and optimistic.

In just 8 sessions, Lucy gently helped me to figure out what I wanted from my life. I am blown away…read moreby how quickly my path has changed. I came to her feeling confused and a bit fearful, and just a few months later am feeling ambitious and excited about my future. I was just accepted into an amazing graduate program in nursing, a path that I had only vaguely considered prior to working with Lucy. I am confident that I would not be in this spot today, with a big door wide open in front of me, if I had not worked with Lucy. She is patient, intelligent, non-judgmental and most importantly - warm and kind. I can't recommend working with Lucy enough.

I didn't have a system established before in determining how to proceed with changing careers, evaluating what I wanted as a career, and how to approach applying to different roles.

When she saw/heard me light up about this new field, she encouraged me to pursue my interests. I also like her demeanor and comfort in asking challenging questions.

I worked with Sandy in the Summer of 2012 to help me with a career move. It was a difficult time…read morefor me as I was trying to push myself out of situation that was not ideal. I had tried many things, but ultimately meeting and working with Sandy was one of the major turning points in my search. While working with Sandy she was a valuable resource; an objective voice, a sounding board, and most importantly, a guide in my search. While Sandy won't find you a new job or pick your next career, she will put together a process (and make you stick to it) and give you the tools to get you to where you want and need to be. After I did move forward and into a new position, I worked with Sandy, to make sure my uptake and priorities in my new role set me up for success. I can honestly say, not only did Sandy help me in my search, she has helped me become more aware of myself, what works for me, what I need to improve, and what I should try to limit exposure to. I value these items almost as much if not more than the job search help, as this self awareness will not only help me today, but throughout my career! I recommend Sandy Machson to anyone looking for a Career help (whether looking for a change or looking to perform at their peak), as she she is flexible, smart, and caring! (Also don't believe me? Than check out her LinkedIn profile, even more rave reviews there!! www.linkedin.com/in/whatsnextcoachingconsulting)

My work environment was facing a rather large change, and I found myself in a postions where I…read morecould either stick it out and (with a lot of effort) turn the job into something I want or leave and try something completely new. Sandy helped me to figure out what was keeping me from fully embracing either path, and to make a choice I could live with and not look back. Identifying what I enjoy about my work and developing strategies for dealing with the aspects that were uncomfortable for me were crucial in the process of making a decision. I was motivated to take on tasks that were outside my comfort zone but were really important to my professional success. I would wholeheartedly endorse Sandy's services. She was a pleasure to work with.

To everyone who's looking to revamp or even completely overhaul & reposition their professional resume, New England Resumes will delight you in more ways than one. They bring fresh eyes to your career story, unique perspectives for crafting a compelling message and wisdom of experience at having worked with diverse clients! While Mir is outstanding, of course, - my (particularly complicated) project was primarily worked on by the lovely Betsy Taube. My previous resume was too tightly packed-in, screaming hard to tell my brilliant story...that it not only left others overwhelmed, it left me somewhat confused as to how to best represent my myriad skills, expertise & my future projects. After a comprehensive phone call & detailed to/fro on my resume (and LinkedIn Profile), I knew this collaboration was going to be very powerful & productive as Betsy is somewhat of a "Resume Therapist" or a "Career Storytelling Magician" - she unpacked various parts of my past assignments to help make coherent sense & she found a logical string that brought key themes together in a very easy, readable way! I shared my final resume & LinkedIn profile with close friends and select former coworkers & supervisors for feedback - and every single one of them loved it. It was like wearing a beautiful new dress & feeling clear and confident about my career path, all over again. Thank you Team New England Resumes.

And so, we dove in! Kira doesn't make you a different person, she helps you find and strengthen pieces that are already in there. She's gentle, but firm. She's not afraid to ask difficult questions and has an uncanny ability to listen and reflect and pivot on what you're saying to offer advice, practices, and resources to explore what's going on for you. Every session with her was invaluable (and amazingly different) and I hope to be able to continue working with her in the future.

I hope you'll checkout her website and hop on a call with her to discover the magic that is uniquely hers, and consider working with her to open up the possibilities in your world and who you are and who you can become!

At one point I was living in Plymouth but I would still drive to Cambridge to have a visit or two with her. I have always found Kyle to be very insightful and sincerely very caring, always leaving me with the feeling that I am glad she is my therapist and have made that connection with her. I have even gone for long gaps of not seeing her, sometimes as long as 10 years and the amazing thing is, when we've gotten together again, its like I saw her yesterday and I am always amazed at the things that she remembers, even the small things. I had an instance a few years ago where I had to get some help for a relative and a call to Kyle was the first one I made and she gave me the names of people to get in touch with to get my relative the help they needed. I can't say enough good things about her.

I found Kim Childs by doing a Google Search for Life Coaches near me. I had been floundering for a…read morefew years, and grew to be very unhappy with the stagnation in my life after the COVID-19 pandemic. My husband's coworker talked about how he had worked with a life coach in middle age to help him figure out his next steps after an intercontinental move to the US. I read Kim's website and noticed she was associated with Kripalu, is a former yoga instructor, and I was intrigued. I read a bit of her blog and decided to email to set up an introductory phone call. I felt like we connected on the call. She was lighthearted, but helped me move forward with action items in just that one phone call. Before our first meeting, I was really nervous. I didn't know what she would be like in person (I can pick up on other people's energy very easily), but I was soon at ease as I realized she is a kind and thoughtful person, who is also joyful and positive. She is spiritual, and educated, with an "East Meets West" style of coaching. During my three months working with her I explored more opportunities than I have in a decade on my own. Having biweekly meetings held me accountable, but gave me time in between sessions to accomplish our collaboratively created goals. If I didn't accomplish everything, that was fine. We would discuss what I didn't do and decide whether to add it to the next to do list or drop it. She taught me how to better read my intuition when making decisions, and to clear negative beliefs that were holding me back. I now have a path forward to explore several interests, and I have the tools Kim taught me to use along the way. She also referred me to an amazing acupuncturist/reiki master when I expressed interest in energy healing (this alone was worth a million dollars). Working with Kim for three months has been more effective in changing my life than five years of therapy. I urge anyone who is on the fence to take the leap and explore whether she is a good fit. The worst that will happen is she's not the right fit for you; the best that will happen is Kim Childs will change your life!
