"The workshop was great! I enjoyed the no pressure environment and benefited from others drawing conclusions about my personal career themes. The interactive element - both working on an exercise as an entire group, and then breaking off into small teams - was invaluable."

Individual Coaching
In a world where there are more communication technologies, people report a decrease in the number of meaningful conversations they have with anyone. One-on-one coaching provides a space for engagement and ongoing dialogue through the self assessment, job search, decision making, and career management process – and we focus only on early career professionals. This is a great opportunity to get individual feedback on your resume / cover letter, complete a practice interview or devise a customized networking plan.
