Testimonials

"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.”

“As a senior-level marketing communications professional, I worked hard to rise up the corporate ladder. When I finally took a breath to consider where I was running and why was I in such a hurry, I realized I didn’t need to find another job. I needed to find a life! A wonderful revelation indeed, but a bit of a problem, given that I had no idea how to go about such a daunting task. To call me a skeptic of career coaches would have been a huge understatement, and I couldn’t be happier that Maggie Mistal proved me so wrong. Her counsel and character are inspiring, her experience and advice practical, and her approach, invaluable. I am now on the road to creating the kind of life that I didn’t even know I had always wanted to live, and also gained the skills, knowledge and confidence to get there. Thank you, Maggie”

“I can’t thank you enough for all of your help and guidance. I never thought that things would work out the way they did. You really gave me the incentive to get out and search to find the perfect job. You are so good at what you do. Continue encouraging people that they can find a job they love!” 

"Maggie is an insightful, resourceful and supportive life purpose and career consultant. Her methods and approach are practical, refreshing,mind-expanding and focused. I have no doubt that anyone seeking career coaching will be impressed and encouraged by the professionalism, approach,understanding and results-oriented progress that Maggie brings."

“When I look back on the last 6 months I really think that I’ve accomplished a lot. I’ve discovered what it is that I want to pursue. I’m practically half way done with my coursework towards the CPA. I’ve managed to say goodbye to a career path that wasn’t the correct one for me. As a result, I’m very happy with the progress that you have helped me make.”
 

“Maggie, I can’t thank you enough for your help over the past year. You’ve helped me see the value in things that I do that I felt were never special or important. You’ve given me a chance to examine myself in a structured and constructive way that led me to new insights about myself and my idea of a job or career. I learned that trying to fit into someone else’s "job definition" does not work for me, and that I shouldn’t be afraid to make something my own.”
