Testimonials

"You are so good at what you do! Working with someone who has CLEARLY found her direction in work and in life is so inspiring. You pushed me when I needed to be pushed, but – for me – the fact that you made me give MYSELF a break when I was beating myself up, was probably the most helpful. This coaching experience was a major turning point in my life and I feel like, with respect to my outlook on my career, I am a totally different person than I was a year ago when we first spoke. Hiring you as a career coach has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself.”

"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.”

"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!”
