Testimonials

"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 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."

"Maggie helped me change the way I think about myself and my career. By working with her, I have gained awareness of my skills and what I have to offer potential employers. In addition, a lot of what we have discussed has helped me logically think through other areas of my life. This has been nothing but a wonderful experience that helped me learn a lot about myself and the opportunities I pursue."

"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!"

"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."

"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." 

“Maggie facilitated, encouraged and supported me in my search for a new career. She was extremely dedicated to my needs and always made me feel like I was her #1 client. Her character, dedication and professionalism are just a few attributes that allow Maggie to excel at what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know who is looking for some "career clarity" as she has the ability to help bring a person’s best qualities to the surface and to help people help themselves.”
