In their own words
Six clients on what changed, recorded in their own words.
Allen worked with Your Career Strategy to make an international career transition that left him feeling like he was the one interviewing the companies that he chose to pursue. His journey took him from China to Malaysia to California and finally to London where he was able to secure work authorization and a job aligned with his values and ideal career path.
Aly came to Your Career Strategy in the middle of a major transition: after thirteen years as an entrepreneur running the operations of small businesses, she was moving into the corporate world and hadn’t written a resume or cover letter in fifteen years. She was looking for financial stability and more structure, and the program rebuilt her from the ground up: resume, cover letter, elevator pitch, and interview outline. It also helped her see the value of the skills she had already accumulated. She landed a role she loves, at the pay she was after, on a team and in an industry she is genuinely excited about.
Michael had spent nearly five years in an organization and a job he enjoyed, but with limited career trajectory and very little guidance available to him internally. Through the work he built confidence in a generalist skill set that had been hard to articulate, learned to tell his story, and developed a scoring matrix against his own criteria so he could compare his current role and future opportunities on something firmer than gut feel. He finished the program clearer on what he was looking for and with a new job at WWF.
Vanessa made a double jump, changing both industry and function, from managerial and operational roles in restaurants and hospitality into HR. She began the pandemic in panic mode, sending at least five applications a day and getting two interviews out of more than 500 submissions; refocusing on networking and informational interviews turned that around, producing over thirty interviews and rounds that went well past the recruiter screen. She was hired as an HR analyst, having successfully jumped both industry and position.
Jolene found herself in the midst of a career transition during the pandemic. She had grown her career over the last 20 years to become a leader in the events and conferences space. Through our work, she validated her fundamental strengths and values against her chosen direction, rebuilt her confidence, and in her own words, “became her best self.”
Nina was a transitioning teacher who couldn’t see herself in the classroom anymore. She wasn’t sure what she wanted next and that’s where the work with YCS came in. In 4 months she was able to land a new role in a totally new industry, Professional Services, with a 100% increase in base compensation.

“Working with my coach through Your Career Strategy was truly an exceptional experience. I wasn’t sure what to expect since I had never worked with a career coach before, but my coach went above and beyond in every way. He met me exactly where I was in my journey and thoughtfully tailored a shortened version of the program to fit my needs. I am deeply grateful for the way he created access and equity for me throughout the process.

My coach is incredibly knowledgeable, charismatic, and kind. He was always responsive and patient, and it was clear that he genuinely cared, not just about my career goals but about me as a person. He helped me gain confidence and clarity in my career direction and introduced me to tools and resources I would have never discovered on my own.
I truly cannot say enough positive things about my coach and my coaching experience. It was transformational, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking meaningful and effective support in their career journey.”
“I had an outstanding experience working with my coach. He truly understands the complexities of career transitions and job searching in today’s market. He combines deep expertise with a down-to-earth, supportive coaching style that makes the entire process both manageable and motivating. The framework and tools he provides are practical, but what really makes a huge difference is how he tailors everything to your specific goals and personality.

Taking all that excellence to the next level, my coach’s extraordinary and rare quality, which stands out most for me, is his genuine commitment to my success. Anyone who has ever had an amazing coach knows that is something you can’t teach; you only recognize it when you see it. My coach’s got it!”
“When I started this program, I had no idea what I was doing and very little confidence in myself. After working with my coach, who was extremely present, patient, and understanding with me, I was able to build up the confidence I needed to see myself as an asset and start to bridge the gap between my skills and my ability to self-market. It helped me determine how to find not just a job, but to identify opportunities that would resonate with me.”
“My coach is an incredibly motivating, kind, and supportive coach. He really helped me to believe in myself and my abilities during a doubtful period post-layoff, not to mention during a terrible job market. Just having check-ins kept the momentum going and kept me accountable, and the exercises we did in our initial sessions also allowed me to be really thoughtful and intentional about my career path.

I would highly recommend that anyone else in need of some job coaching work with my coach. I’m super appreciative of how communicative he is: I can always text him with updates or for advice, even now that we’ve completed all of our sessions, and he responds promptly with a voice note offering motivation and guidance. I appreciate how human and authentic he is: never stuffy, formal, or judgmental. He is owed a ton of credit when I land my next role!”
“I loved working with my coach and he was instrumental in helping me chart a career direction that I was excited about. He’s the kind of person who was meant to be a coach and brings excellence and passion to what he does. He really invests in your success, and I was impressed by his proprietary, data-driven program for uncovering deeply personal insights while still being nimble enough to customize the experience to meet you exactly where you’re at in life. He’s extremely communicative, empathetic, and easy to get along with. My coach is truly a great partner to help you figure out your current or next chapter. I can’t recommend him enough, and his completely 5-star rating speaks for itself!”
“I felt lost in my search for a new position. I was applying to jobs through boards and hoping for the best. My coach taught me about the importance of networking, and it was through reaching out to others that I found my current job. That process connected me with so many interesting people, and I learned how much others genuinely want to help, however they can. My coach provided helpful tools, insightful and kind encouragement, and supported me through a stressful time.”
“My coach had great attention to detail. He made a plan that was customized to my needs; it felt organic and not forced or rushed. He genuinely cared about my goals, situation, and needs. Follow-up was also beneficial, and I felt comfortable working with him and sharing personal details of my life. Best of all, the program worked: I was able to leave my current role in the twelve-month time frame I had set as a goal and am on my way to greater career clarity, which in turn has created a better quality of living, not just professional satisfaction.”
“Working with my coach exceeded my expectations, providing tailored guidance and support that I desperately needed as I navigated a major career transition. With his compassionate approach, personalized strategies, and focus on the mental and emotional aspects of the work, I was able to find clarity and confidence throughout the process. My coach was always by my side, coaching, brainstorming, and nudging me forward. This helped me persevere through the incredibly challenging processes of starting from scratch, networking, and interviewing. He was always there with kind words of encouragement when I needed them the most. If you are looking for a coach, mentor, and, dare I say, friend to help you succeed in your career search, I 1000% recommend booking a call, and you won’t regret it.”
“My coach’s coaching was critical to my success finding a new job after a layoff. He developed my networking skills, helped with my personal sales pitch, and helped me define a vision for my next move. He created accountability in the process without over-pressuring me in an already difficult time, and built my confidence in so many ways. His process creates success.”
“I didn’t know what to expect out of career coaching, to be honest. I couldn’t have been more delightfully surprised by my coach: he really took the time to understand who I am and what I’m looking for and presented me with clear, actionable steps to help me get there. I was able to secure a great role in an incredibly difficult tech hiring market, and I wouldn’t have made it there without my coach and this program.”
“When I came into the coaching program, I felt so lost, had very low confidence, and was not sure what steps to take in the direction of finding a new career path. This program really helped me to learn about my strengths, what motivates me, and my interests. I had never really taken the time for that kind of self-discovery and found it so essential to the entire process.

From there, I learned how to have professional conversations with people in the fields that I was exploring. This stage boosted my confidence in talking to others and helped me to realize what it is that I want to pursue professionally. The best part of the coaching process was developing a really strong accomplishment-based resume. My resumes in the past were not targeted and consisted of a list of responsibilities. I encountered success applying for jobs online because my updated resume really stood out in the application pool. While I changed courses during the process and now am starting a position that wasn’t originally on my radar, I feel so proud of the work I put in and trust that I found a role and workplace that is the best fit for me!”
“My goal in starting this coaching program was to gain more insight into the skills I could bring to the table to land a new job or change career paths altogether. I was struggling to find a position that valued my strengths and compensated me appropriately. I put in the work and followed the program. I was open and listened to the insight my coach had. I put what I learned to work, and once I started reaching out to people, networking, and believing in my worth in a company, I was able to land a new role with an amazing company that even came with a salary increase. I couldn’t have gotten this far without the help of my coach and his program! I 100% recommend this program to anyone wanting growth and/or a career change.”
