Don’t just take my word for it. Read what my clients have to say about our work together. "You had such a knack for honing in on what
I was looking for, figuring out different careers that fit and great suggestions
on what to do in the meantime, not to mention [you were] quite motivating
to talk to as well!” "Maggie is a motivated and motivating counselor.
She provides top-notch guidance, resources and tools. Maggie helped me
dig deep and determine what I need to do to satisfy specific creative
and career yearnings; and she led me down a new path.” "I hired Maggie to coach me through how
to ask my management for the flexibility to work from home. After we met,
I discovered that my resistance to asking for a flex schedule was based
on unfounded fear. While asking your employer for what you need is tricky,
especially in a tight economy, Maggie helped me discover that I was underestimating
the value of my service. Together we crafted an action plan that gave
me the confidence to proceed. Four days after meeting with management,
my plan was approved. Succeeding in this negotiation has been a huge energy
boost and source of pride. I highly recommend working with Maggie - she's
experienced, listens to your needs, offers great insight, and helps you
achieve your dreams. Plus, her easy going nature makes the process fun.” "Your advice and suggestions, helped me
get through a very difficult time and I am so appreciative of that. Even
small suggestions such as good books to read. It was all so helpful. It
provided me direction and kept me focused and positive to find my new
job. Thank you!” "After meeting you it was easy to give everything
up and go for it. After I have "arrived"
in this industry, my measurement of arrival being an appearance as Head
Coach of a program in the NCAA Tournament, I will cite that lunch with
Maggie Mistal as a huge impetus for my career changing moment! Please
keep doing what you do! You impact lives!” "Thank you for the positive and encouraging
feedback…I feel that even though it is part of your "job"
as a career coach to support and encourage me, I also feel that you are
very up front, honest, and direct with me - and not just "blowing
smoke." I am also thankful to
have the professional opinion of someone like yourself who has done the
corporate thing (and done it well!), and who is modeling to me what it
means to follow and achieve your vision. So thank you for that!...I really
admire people who talk the talk AND walk the walk!” "Working with Maggie is a delight. She has
honed her listening skills to quickly zero in on career aspirations and
likes and dislikes. I have often gotten stuck in my own internal circular
career arguments. Working with Maggie allowed me to wade through my concerns
and extract what I am looking for from my career. I highly recommend Maggie
for anyone looking to achieve clarity in their career pursuits.” "Getting right to the point, Maggie Mistal
is a terrific career coach. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone
who is considering career guidance, whether you are contemplating a career
transition, questioning whether you made the right career choice, in-between
jobs, or simply looking to advance in the career you have chosen. Whatever
skepticism I had about the process dissipated rapidly once I began working
with Maggie. She listens carefully and attentively, provides valuable
insight and analysis, speaks to you in a direct and simple way, and throughout
the process provides you the tools you will need to make intelligent and
informed career choices. Hiring Maggie was one of the best career decisions
I have ever made!” "Maggie is unbelievably intuitive and has
the power to unlock the answers that lie within you. She is a great listener
and almost helps you arrive at answers “through her.” She
has a powerful ability to see connections and piece things together. You
feel her unwavering faith in you and in the process at all times! I would
recommend Maggie to anyone who is serious about looking within and making
a change.” "Maggie helped me create a terrific 5 year
plan for my career. She helped flesh out career goals and a life direction
that was previously only in the ether. Additionally, with her help, I
created a new set of responsibilities at my current job. Because of this,
I have new found satisfaction in every work day.” "With Maggie's help I was able to identify
not only what I wanted to do, but how to go about doing it. She gave me
practical advice that was both surprising and inspiring and her generosity
of both time and spirit made me feel like my professional satisfaction
was important to her. I now feel confident and empowered to go out there
and find my life's work." "I highly recommend working with Maggie
in order to make a decision about your fit with a current career or envision
career options. Maggie’s individualized, yet systematic process
worked thoroughly! The insight I gained into my work preferences, career
vision and motivation for my daily work habits now serves as a tool to
systematically complete my action plan towards my vision. I have a greater
sense of peace in my mind and spirit that I am actively creating a lifestyle
of work, wellness and enjoyment that I love. Thanks for your integrity,
insight and inspiration!" "Maggie Mistal is very wise. She has an uncanny ability to cut through the clutter and get to the heart of the matter. The system she uses to work with her clients, combined with her innate gifts for this kind of work plus her experience make her an ideal career coach. She is intelligent, trustworthy, and a delight to work with and most of all she’s not afraid to...[help you] examine parts of yourself that...have been holding you back. Maggie will help you clarify your goals and help you build the roadmap to find your perfect job. At the end of my sessions not only had I identified my immediate and long term goals and steps, I even had an interview..I was also in a much more positive and powerful position [with regards to my career.] If you're thinking about calling Maggie to be
your career coach, call her TODAY, don't wait...Consider it an investment
and invest in yourself, today." "Coming from an environment...entrenched
in the status quo...our conversations and exercises enabled me to see
beyond the limit[s]...My internal dialogue was a loop of negativity and
"What do I do now?" Yet
because of our interaction I now know that my vision for what I want for
me and my family is absolutely real and obtainable." "At first I was hesitant to hire Maggie
because I thought at 45 I should be able to figure out, on my own, what
I wanted to do with my career. Looking back, it was the best investment
I could have made in myself. Talking
through the various jobs I have had and figuring out the job choices I
am passionate about were eye opening. I realize now that I am qualified
and able to do exactly what it is I want to do. With Maggie’s help
I am now focused, confident and excited to pursue my dream. For anyone
still on the fence, go for it. You’ll be glad you did." "I am so thankful
that I sought out Maggie's professional coaching during a stressful time
in my career. She gave intelligent advice and an objective perspective
when it was very difficult for me to think clearly. I found it extremely
beneficial to assess my values and strengths in finding the ideal career
and the right company culture for me. I am so thrilled and confident with
my next step and appreciate all of Maggie's support and guidance in helping
me get there." "My experiences working with Maggie have
truly opened up new realms of possibility for my career. I had long considered
a change of career but didn't have the confidence, direction or support
structure to make the switch. Maggie was able to help me identify what
truly inspires me and find the path to happiness in my career. Her
support has helped me feel very confident that I have found the career
that will fulfill me in the future. It makes all the difference in the
world to feel that I have an advocate on my side, guding me towards my
goal." "Working with Maggie has been terrific.
I only wish I had gone through the process years ago. This counseling
is something that anyone who is serious about finding their calling and
bettering their life should do. I believe that we all have been put on
this earth for a reason and Maggie not only helps you determine what that
reason is, but helps you figure out the way to get there. Thank you Maggie
and please grow your company so that everyone will have the opportunity
to learn from your great insights. There is no question that you have
found your calling, and I believe you can help build a better society." "This has truly been a wonderful and worthwhile
experience. Maggie played all her parts perfectly - supporter, encourager,
advisor...I am inspired and confident that my next step will bring me
much needed satisfaction and joy. I cannot wait to take my life off pause.
Thank you." "Our meeting really changed my perspective
on my job. I've been approaching it from a totally new perspective and
enjoy it much more. Thanks!" "[I've had] a huge breakthrough...I am so
excited that you were able to help me find the answer, the dream that
I have been struggling with for so long. I haven't been able to stop thinking
about my next steps and am totally internally motivated to get an action
plan together and make this dream a reality." "Working with you Maggie, has been a tremendously
rewarding (and emotional) experience. I have a much greater awareness
of self. I really had difficulty acknowledging my own strengths and I
now have an appreciation of what my contributions are and can be to any
organization that I work for. When the time is right, I will be able to
fulfill my passion in life. "I had considered hiring a career coach for a long time, but I was hesitant to commit the money and the time. But then I met Maggie. I felt I could trust her and decided to invest in myself. I took a risk, one that has certainly paid off in many ways for me and my family. Through my work with Maggie, I finally figured out what I want out of a career and life in general. Maggie is a consummate professional, a fantastic listener and a great motivator, and she always told me what I needed to hear. Maggie also showed me how to discover opportunities within my current position that will help me fulfill long-term goals. She helped me believe in myself and my abilities, and she helped me define and go after the life I really wanted. I wholeheartedly endorse Maggie Mistal and her
coaching services. Take a leap of faith and invest in yourself. You’ll
be glad you did." "It is hard to overstate the significance
of your coaching efforts. You have an uncanny ability to raise difficult
questions and push introspective and critical reflection in a way that
is positive and productive." "It's amazing what verbalizing things can
do to help you process what you want." "Thanks so much for your continued support and
encouragement. It has truly increased my confidence and awareness in terms
of my skills, interests, career objectives and outlook." "Thank you Maggie. You have no idea how much
I appreciate you. You are such a good person to brainstorm with and you
are so attentive to things I say that I don't even realize come out of
my mouth!" Nicole Lagnado Financial Services Associate turned Make-Up Artist "I found working with Maggie extremely motivating
and stimulating. I lost perspective on the fact the work can be fun and
fulfilling and she helped me realize that switching jobs or careers, though
a viable option was not the immediate solution to my work frustrations.
Though a job or career change is still my long term goal Maggie helped
me implement many of the coaching exercises into my current day to day
work which has been extremely helpful." “I was never hesistant to work with Maggie or
doubt the value I would receive from a life/career coach. Yet the exercises,
sessions and overall process exceeded my expectations! At no time was
I intimidated to share my thoughts or apprehensions regarding what my
"next step" should be. Getting back to basics and building my
own life path with Maggie's help are the tools that I will carry with
me. I had these tools all along, they just needed to be awakened by the
right person-Maggie! Listening to one's inner voice and keeping to the
basics for decision-making are keys to finding one's own path!” “Maggie has many incredible gifts that she professionally
and compassionately weaves into a tremendously effective coaching practice.
First, she takes the time to thoroughly understand her client's aspirations
through her unbelievable listening skills. Then, through a series of thought-provoking,
probing exercises, she guides her clients through a revealing discovery
process of not only what their professional strengths are, but also what
elements of a job or career are most important to achieving professional
and personal contentment. And through it all, she is a dedicated counselor
who inspires and encourages her clients with practical and insightful
advice and support. Working with Maggie has provided me with the professional
focus I was lacking and has enabled me to better organize my job search
into a more strategic and successful process. I am much more confident
in how I am marketing myself now and I owe so much of that to Maggie.” “When I began the coaching sessions in February,
I was unsure what the outcome would be. I had made several efforts to
uncover my ideal career, and it always ended with me in the same place,
feeling even more unhappy because I had failed yet again. Working with
Maggie was one of the best decisions I have made thus far! I always enjoyed
our sessions, and was amazed at how quickly the framework of my plan came
together. Maggie is a wonderful motivator! Her ability to bring clarity
and perspective to my situation is just one of the elements that helped
make my experience so positive. Another benefit of working with Maggie
is that she keeps you true to your mission so that you actually follow-through
with your plans and dreams. I would highly recommend working with Maggie.
It is one of the best investments a person could make in their future."
