Learn how we helped Holly to be proactive, structured, and deliberate in understanding her transferrable skills, confidently deciding on which career direction felt most compatible, and successfully pivoting into that path.
We hear people often say, "where do I start?" or "I fell into this career path instead of choosing a path intentionally" or "money isn't enough anymore, I need to find fulfillment at work" and much more.

"You've helped me so much this past year and I've found the courage to thrive in a world that can be quite intimidating. I had my 90-day performance review meeting this week and it went EXTREMELY well. It gave me the comfort and motivation to keep working towards my best self, while knowing that I have a great team at my side to help. I wish I had the words to describe just how AWESOME you are!"
"Made me reflect on what I really wanted for myself in a regimented way."
"I keep being so hard on myself to know what I want to do right now but I like that this platform encourages me to take my time and doesn't push for me to have a definitive answer right away."
"You're always prepared."
"I love your follow up strategy. It keeps me focused and prepared."
"Before using WOKEN, my level of career stress was relatively high. It was like a seven or something. Now, it is lower like 4, and part of that is because I am using WOKEN. Before I used WOKEN. I was like 4. Now, probably 8 (re: career clarity). I feel a lot more confident. By talking to my career coach, she pushed my boundaries saying that you should know, so now, it is even stronger than it was back then. RE: the platform: I like the way it constructs. The way it splits into separate tabs like priority tab and networking tab. I found that is helpful. I also like the reflection on call. A lot people just work on something but never reflect. It helps me to actively write down what to say, what you didn't like about the call. It is actually pretty powerful."
"During the past few months, I’ve been working with my career coach to help determine what my next career steps are. I entered the process feeling stuck, defeated and open to suggestions for finding what my path and purpose is. Through the assessment, the one-on-one coaching, the group coaching sessions (realizing I’m not alone and hearing others’ strategies), and self-reflection and journaling, I now feel SO FREE, excited, & relieved in pursuing my PhD in Psychology. During the process, I have been overwhelmed with gratitude for my career coach and her team at WOKEN for her grace and expertise in helping me get there. I now feel like I’m doing what I was put in this universe to do, and I have never felt so much joy or freedom in my vocational pursuits." #gratitude #coaching #freedom #reflection #dothework #getunstuck
"My coach is top-notch. She encourages self-reflection to clear mental hurdles that get in the way of career advancement, while also making sure that you leave every session with a specific and impactful to-do list to advance your search."
"I was hoping for guidance on how to make the correct decision about my next career move. I was unhappy in my current position feeling unchallenged and unmotivated; I knew a change needed to be initiated. Prior to the discussion, I was not sure what direction I wanted to take. Through conversation, we were able to clarify my career goals and aspirations. One thing I learned through this process was: if you want a certain industry, why remain complacent? Go for it now. So, that is just what I did. With the motivation from our conversation, I applied to two opportunities that fell in the realm of what space I wanted to be in. As the following two weeks went by, I had multiple interviews for both positions. Two weeks later, I had offers from both positions. I was ecstatic. Per the guidance I received, I was able to leverage those offers against each other to maximize my salary, position and benefits. I am grateful I took the chance to do this because it allowed me to express my desires for career growth that I hadn't even fully shared with myself. Now I can say I am very excited to be moving into a new role which puts me on my path to success."
"Whether you are feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or just starting out in your career, I would highly recommend working with my career coach. She will help you find a career path that you will love and is best suited for you. Her framework is both methodical and well structured, and she genuinely has your best interest. She is highly skilled in all aspects of career development and exploration. My career path is unique and has a lot of nuances, but she was able to guide me to significantly more clarity, as well as develop solutions to identify the best career path and course of action for me. I am very glad to have crossed paths with my career coach!"
