Hi Karen
Finally I have done well in the interview with your support, and secured the much loved job as (title withheld) in the Hospital.
I am proud to say it only happened with your great support and excellent coaching. Moreover to find my hidden strength and brush it up with your skills, so that I could give the best in my interview.
I have started the new role and I am loving it. Thank you once again.Keep up the great job.
WA, Brisbane
I got the job!!!
Thank you so much for all of your help and guidance. I was amazed at how much research you had done for our session – and very happy and more confident afterwards. My employers were exceptionally happy with my interview too – so much so, they skipped the second interview.
I will certainly refer you to friends of mine that are in the same position.
Thanks

Before the session I was mostly feeling excited about unpacking the jumble of thoughts that were competing for space in my mind. I will admit I was also apprehensive I was too much of a mess and we wouldn’t be able to work through the cloud of confusion to identify the underlying factors that drive me.
After, I felt calm, reassured, and empowered to build a life and career that is aligned with my personal motivators and values. The most helpful insight was around my values and motivators – now that I have those clearly defined they can act as guiding principles as I move through my career. Another highly valuable exercise was working through the different career possibilities I had in my head and ruling them in or out.
The email you sent through was wonderful – it perfectly encapsulated the work we did and provided me with not only something to refer back to, but a tangible action plan to move forward with. I have even been able to refer to the personal preferences and values we uncovered this week when speaking with my manager. Highly useful!
It’s an investment in understanding yourself. Already I’m using the things I learnt about myself to guide the decisions I make both personally and professionally.
Many thanks

Thank you so much for all your help. It was very informative and on the day of the interview I took on board all of your advice. Took a deep breath and slowed everything down….and I just found out I got onto the training program!!!
I think both sessions were very important. The first to lay the groundwork and understand what answers the interviewers were looking for and how to structure the answers. The second session consolidated everything and put me on the spot and made me realize what else I had to work on…
You were recommended by two of my friends who went from being in the last rung for <Medical Specialty> rankings to the top one after seeing you. It’s been invaluable and will help me so much in the future.

Hi Karen,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for your help. It was incredibly helpful!
I was successful at both interviews and received glowing feedback about my interview performance, finishing at the top of both, so I’m off to NEW CITY next year.
I couldn’t have done so well without your help, I very much appreciate it and have been recommending you to everyone I can.
Cheers

Hi Karen,
I have very good news. I got accepted onto the Medical Specialty training program.
Just wanted to say a big thank you for your coaching. It made a big difference especially with preparation and the way to approach the interview day.
Thank you again!
MC, Brisbane
I was apprehensive before our session – can you possibly work me out? Have I done too many things to be able to find a path forward? – but it was fantastic. You were able to show me the strengths and weaknesses that the years and changes have brought out. The jobs and positions indicated were spot on. This was the most helpful part – being shown a direction.
Thanks again for your tremendous help.

My previous experience with the careers counsellor at school had been incredibly unhelpful and got me into totally the wrong area of studies… I was hoping the session would be sufficiently helpful to justify the investment and after, I felt incredibly positive about my skills, what I can offer to an organisation and the abundance of opportunities open to me in my career.
The session was so thorough and I was amazed at how much I learnt about myself; my core values, likes and dislikes became clear as we worked through the process.
It was so valuable to study my professional career to date and I love that you were able to reframe issues of past performance where I had felt I failed instead as simply differences in management style or part of the learning process and quite normal.
Well and truly above and beyond my expectations.
LM, Brisbane
Thank you for all the information you’ve sent me and thank you so much for my consultation. It was eye opening. I had been to a careers counsellor back in 2002 and didn’t think it was that enlightening. But I had a feeling this would be different because my wife had such a positive experience with her sessions with you.
After the session, I felt a lot more positive about my job prospects and had a much better understanding about what I want in a job. I felt the entire session was helpful and I would very enthusiastically recommend people see you, because they are sure to get a lot of value out of the experience.
Thanks again,
JD, Brisbane
I had tried other career coaches in the past and was disappointed that they never got to know me. I was paying a lot of money to be told I would be suited to roles that didn’t suit my personality or values.
I felt enthusiastic and motivated after my session with Karen as she really took the time to listen to me, understand my skill set and connect with me on a personal level to understand who I am and, in turn, what career opportunities may be possible.
What was most helpful was the connections from my current skill sets and how they can be transferred into the area that was proposed to me. It made me feel more confident that there a) was another option and b) I could succeed with the skills that I already had.
I’d never hesitate to recommend a consultation with Karen.
SC, Brisbane
I just wanted to say thank you for all your help and support – I got the promotion!
Nervous but excited.Thanks again
Before, I was not quite sure what I wanted from my career, fearful of change and frustrated at my current job. I left inspired, with a better understanding of what was important to me and filled with ideas to improve my career.
I found all of the information very helpful. The personality analysis was the biggest surprise, I did not expect to take as much from it as I did. The linkedin SEO advice and links to Industry specific website was also great. A very practical mix of personal analysis and HR knowledge.
Highly recommended.
MD, Brisbane
Thank you ever so much.
You are a gem and such a great coach, I will definitely recommend you to others. It was the best investment I have made in myself for a long time.
AS, Brisbane
Thank you very much for the session and e-mail. It was just what I needed – to talk to somebody who could provide me with an in-depth, objective assessment and recommendations.
I could see that you are very knowledgeable and passionate about career guidance, and I would certainly recommend you.
JL, Brisbane
Karen, I wanted to thank you for your excellent service and support – I found everything that you provided very useful…
I have recommended you to a friend who is also in need of your service!
MM, Brisbane
Wow, I’m blown away! You really packed in the value both in the session and in your email, I’m so grateful!! You’ve been really thorough and focused – exactly what I needed…
You got further in 2 hours than I have in 10 years inside my head!
I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know looking for career coaching!
LP, Brisbane
Before we met, I was putting a lot of internal pressure to find the “perfect fix-it career” for me. Now I feel relieved and excited!!
The session was wonderful and has helped me refocus… Amazing what a shift in perception can do.
Incredibly beneficial!
AB, Brisbane
This session has completely improved my confidence in job searching. I have received feedback from recruiters that I have been in contact with previously, that my new resume is more clear and concise.
I saw this morning that my LinkedIn profile has shown up in 63 searches in the past 7 days – an increase of 333%! I would not have achieved this without your feedback.
I would recommend your service to my friends and colleagues.
NF, Brisbane
It was lovely meeting you… the session was very thought provoking, like putting a jigsaw puzzle together – amazing and exhilarating.
So wonderful to finally make sense of all the jumbled thoughts in my head, and being given direction and options on how to get there…
Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart – I am sure there will be many more you will help to get clarity in their lives.
MC, Brisbane
The time with Karen was extremely helpful; the most helpful part was the practicality that the session offered.
I left with ideas that I would never have considered previously, and I finally had a plan of attack in pursuing the work I was looking for.
Definitely worth the time and money.
PC, Brisbane
Before the session, I was a little lost and had no clear direction. Afterwards, I was enlightened as to what could be an alternative path going forward.
Most helpful was the helicopter view of where I have been and what options could be out there for the future.
PM, QLD
I feel better equipped now to move forward, confident that I have plenty to offer a new organisation.
I have actually passed on your details… I told them that I’d found the session extremely beneficial and you to be highly skilled and approachable with a great knack for honing in on the things that were preventing me from pursuing something new.
Thank you, Karen, for being so encouraging and so spot on with your assessment of me.
NL, Brisbane
I just wanted to let you know I got accepted onto the Registrar training program this week… Thank you so, so much for all your help!
SF, Brisbane
I really enjoyed the session yesterday and truly appreciate your support and guidance. I feel more comfortable now having identified an area of focus and some next steps
Thanks again!BB, Brisbane
I was very excited after the session. Optimistic, happy. It was incredibly helpful to have you distill my values and varied skills down so concisely. You gave me significant clarity around what is most important to me. And you gave me specific ideas and resources to help me get started in pursuing and achieving the next phase of my career that I am truly excited about.
I am feeling so much better and excited about what is ahead of me. Thanks for everything.
MD, Brisbane
Before we met, I was feeling lost; after, much better. I had a much clearer idea of what would be good for me to pursue and how to go about it. Most helpful was just thinking outside the box… and ways of approaching changes without having to commit up front.
Thanks again for the help Karen.
KS, Brisbane
It was great to meet you yesterday, you have got my mind working overtime on all the ideas and plans I want to research, I am very glad I took the opportunity to meet with you…. it was certainly an eye opener.
Thanks again!
DH, Brisbane
I came away feeling a lot more confident in myself and the skills and values I had to offer to an employee. Being new to the country it was really helpful to get up to speed with LinkedIn, job ad websites etc and my CV to suit the market place in Brisbane.
Well worth having someone to give you advice and guidance so you can then make clearer decisions on your career path.
RH, Brisbane
Before the session I felt frustrated and at a loss… Afterwards, I felt like I had a plan of attack, and I was a lot clearer. The most helpful aspects were discussing and reconfirming my personality, career preferences and possible careers… the step by step list of what I need to do next to get going, and the practical hands on advice provided.
Karen is very knowledgeable in the career coaching field, and utilises the profiling tool as a base to further discuss what you would like to do with your career.
In my experience, Karen put in a lot of effort to make sure I got everything out of the consultation as possible. Seeing Karen really helped me put my career search into perspective and provided thorough guidance that has been invaluable in helping me progress to where I want to be.
FF, Brisbane
I found our appointment really helpful. Before the session I was feeling quite confused… and also disheartened…
Afterwards I felt more clear… and also more confident in going about finding a new job and networking. I also found the practical advice about finding a workplace that would be right for me very helpful.
If a friend was considering a session, I would recommend it… to improve their chances of finding a new job, improve their networking skills, to determine if their current career is suited to them, or a career that could potentially suit them.
CA, Brisbane
Karen was very warm, engaging and easy to connect with, so I felt comfortable talking to her… The results of my testing were extremely accurate, and the most helpful thing was Karen’s advice on how to tailor my resume, network and target the roles that are right for me. The consultation re-energised me and gave me a sense of direction in my job search. Thanks so much again
JS, Brisbane
Prior to the session, I was really confused and the stress of this was really affecting my ability to make a decision… I knew I needed to make a change but did not know what direction to take. I felt really good after the session, and motivated to further investigate career options… The most valuable aspect was firstly identifying what I value.. and the way I work best. By formulating a concrete idea of this, I was able to then cross-check different occupations against my values to find the right fit, with the guidance of Karen.
PB, Brisbane
I’d been feeling lost about my career for some time… now I have a clear direction and it connects with me on so many levels that the ambiguity I felt prior has been replaced with focus, determination and most importantly, calm. Thank you!
I’ve already recommended you to several friends and family. Work takes up so much of our lives, why spend that time doing something that doesn’t make you, the real you, happy?
If you have even a lingering doubt about your current career path, do yourself a favour and book a consultation to confirm your needs, and learn about careers that match those needs.
JC, Brisbane
I’d just like to thank you for your time last Friday. In all honesty, the session was probably the most clarifying / liberating 1.5 hours I have experienced in years. Thank you for your knowledge and generosity with your time.
I will be sure to keep in contact in the future.
LM, Brisbane
Before I entered the session I was honestly a little scared but that soon washed away… Afterwards, I felt incredibly positive. I now have a solid direction to head down in order to reach an occupation that I am excited about.
If you want to know different avenues that your personality and interests can take you I’d highly recommend seeing Karen. Seeing you was the best money I have spent on myself in a long time. Thanks Karen.
SA, Brisbane
I have to say thank you to you… had I not started to explore the options, I would not have reached this new perspective. I felt that the work we did was extremely valuable and you were authentic, compassionate and practical in how you approached it with me. I can now move forward in my career and lifestyle with a much clearer mind and stronger focus
IN, Brisbane
I found the session very helpful and motivating at a time when I was very unsure about where my life was headed – particularly discovering and discussing what it is exactly that I enjoy about employment, and what I seek personally in a job.
If you know what you want to achieve in life, but are unsure about which path will lead you to those results, then this will help guide you in the right direction.
JH, Brisbane
I found the session very helpful, particularly the emphasis on what my strengths are and how to not only use them, but combine the in a way that creates a picture of what a rewarding future could look like for me. It helped me put less pressure on myself and put things into perspective.
I’ve already recommended you to my brother… Thank you once again for your help!
