Maggie, that was [a] tremendous [coaching session on career blocks]! Spectacular really! I wanted a supernatural breakthrough and I got one! Wow! The shift was palpable – I felt it – a physical and energetic shift occurred. It was BIG…[Update a few months later from Donna]…Thank you for inspiring me to look at my current work in a new and larger way. I have been feeling so fulfilled and joyful and having huge fun at work. I [also] got a lot out of your last two podcasts which has made me rethink my desires and ambitions. I love it!
Maggie is the most incredible career coach! I worked with her ages ago when we both were at Martha Stewart. She stood out there for her positivity and brilliant thinking. Years later we connected because I knew she would be an amazing resource for career advice. The conversation we had was so inspirational! She has an uncanny ability to quickly understand where you are in your life and career and make recommendations that somehow you never even considered before.
Maggie has been an incredible source of guidance to me for nearly a decade. She has helped me navigate through asking for raises, being laid-off, announcing my pregnancy at a brand new job, considering a career change, etc. You can say anything to Maggie without feeling judged. I would recommend Maggie to anyone who is looking for an unbiased, well-informed source of inspiration and knowledge. Every time you speak to her, you’ll walk away feeling like you’re on top of the world…and ready to tackle any challenge ahead of you!
“Six months ago, I wasn’t comfortable having an elevator pitch conversation b/c I didn’t know what to talk about. I was afraid to go on a networking lunch. But now, my point of view has completely changed. I’m more excited about my career than I’ve ever been. It’s been a huge confidence builder and pulled the dark clouds away.”
“You have always provided me with a 360 degree view on things – and it has been invaluable to me. I know when others work with you, that you will help them see options they have not yet unearthed.”
I feel great. Because of the [Soul Search, Research and Job Search] work we’ve been doing, I have more job leads popping up. When I tell friend about the work I’m doing with you, people want to hear me. I am able to use it as a conversation starter to bring up opportunities and ideas that may involve them and they want to help! I feel like I’m gaining traction.
My sessions with Maggie gave me a breakthrough insight into why I struggle with performance and expectations. A huge deal and it’s been on my mind ever since. Thank you for helping me untangle that big knot. Thank you!
I still tell people about you when they ask for a career coach – you were so helpful to me at just the right time.
I’ve worked with Maggie, and she’s just delightful…and super-motivating! She has a background in accounting; so she understands the desire to find a “safe” job. But, she didn’t settle on “safe.” She figured out how to look forward to every Monday morning!
Maggie is so good at figuring out how to help you do what you WANT to do and make a living from it. She’s got a new site and new materials. If you’ve ever thought about changing careers, check her out! She’s a career rock star!!
“I hired Maggie to be that confidant who could see things for what they were. Maggie put things in perspective that I couldn’t have done on my own. She helped me give permission to myself to go for it. And we did it all over the phone. I found the perfect job, in a whole new city where I am now living and thriving doing what I love, where I love it. I would recommend Maggie to anyone who needs a change.”
Working with you has absolutely, hands down, been the best gift that I have ever given myself or received. I think differently now. I no longer create barriers and obstacles for myself. I no longer think that I have to have a mainstream career because “that’s what you’re supposed to do”. I know now that we all have different talents and skills and they are there, waiting for us to use them. And I believe, I know, that I can get paid for doing work that I love. My mindset, how I approach things has changed; If you want it, you can make it happen. It may involve hard work, sacrifice, and creativity but it is possible and it is worth it.
You really helped me sort things out and get on the right track. I thoroughly believe that if I hadn’t heeded your advice, I would not have been able to interview confidently and thus land my new role. My new manager sent me a really nice thank you note about how I’ve just jumped in with little direction and am delivering in the way she hoped I would! You have a real knack for cutting through the BS and getting to the heart of the matter without passing judgment or making anyone feel badly…you tell it like it is in a constructive/productive manner and lead have the ability to lead us to what we fail to see on our own. I’m sure I’ll be calling on you again in the future. And please keep doing your radio shows, they are so helpful and inspiring! Thank you again for doing what you do so well 🙂
