What do people say about working with our coaches?

Sami did her magic on my LinkedIn profile. She was very clear and articulate in her feedback and suggestions, as well as letting know what I had was working. My LinkedIn profile went from "just hanging out there in cyber space, just because" to an enticing invitation to my ideal clients and collaborators. I've implemented everything Sami suggested - except garnering more connections which I will start doing. Thank you, Sami!

Sami is amazing, she knows her stuff!

Sami was smart, funny, and easy to talk to about developing and refining my career path. She's very intuitive to the needs of others. She helped alleviate my frustration around my career change with a great resume.

Samantha is a fantastic coach, career advisor and human being. She maintains her own unique self while helping others uncover theirs... and it's a fun process to work with her. Sami and I have worked on various projects together, and I have been consistently impressed with her steadfast work ethic, delightful quirkiness and piercing intelligence.
