"It was good to make time to sit down and evaluate where I am in my career and where I'm going. The process helped me to organize my thoughts about what I want to do next. Having external guidance gave me a different perspective on how to approach a new career path."

"Before coaching, I felt very confused about what my next career was going to look like. I knew I wanted to make a change but wasn’t sure how to go about to do that. Coaching provides live feedback, analysis and years of expertise. You can read books but you can’t get any feedback or analysis of any exercises you’re doing. Now I feel armed with information..."

"I have known Shirin for a little over 10 years and have sought her coaching skills multiple times to guide me though transitions. Whether the changes were job related or stemming from career choices due to life changes, Shirin provided non judgmental space to express my career challenges and helped me work through them. She helped put things in perspective..." Read more

"I recently completed a Master's to complement my skills and work experience. Before I started the coaching sessions, I was having difficulty integrating my old skills with my new skills. This made it difficult to prepare a cohesive statement on what I had to offer, and as such what I should include on a CV. My coach, Lee, helped me put together a narrative..." Read more

"I could probably write pages on the great experience I had working with Eileen Chadnick. To keep it brief I will just say that I did not give her an easy time when we first started working together - the key here is to understand that this is work, there is no easy way through it, she is there to coach you but you still need to do the work. The sooner yo..." Read more
