Inspirational Testimonials from others who have experienced Faith’s Career Reinvention Strategy Sessions.
Ruth C. - General Manager, Arts Association
“Faith helped me to understand that some things that I’ve done that I take for granted are actually quite uncommon and can be really attractive to prospective employers. This was also a good exercise and exactly what I needed. Before, if anyone asked me what was valuable about me, I would have said something bland and vague like ‘Well, I’m organized and a good communicator’. She has helped to find a way to talk about myself that is interesting, accurate and specific. I rate the value of this coaching a big 10.”
Sophia M. - National Director of Sales, Novartis Pharmaceuticals
“Your coaching has helped me see things from a different perspective. My biggest breakthrough would have to be the defining of my vision. With your coaching expertise and guidance, I developed a vision which helps me keep my eyes on the big goal. It also keeps me centered and focused on what needs to get done, on how to manage my team.
Each conversation gives me the energy and the serenity to address any situation I am faced with at work and in my personal life.
My coaching experience with you continues to help me preserve confidence in my abilities and get to a deep understanding of who I am. This increased confidence is the foundation of my leadership ability, and it allows me to dream big dreams; live my vision. Your persisting encouragement to lead with my heart and to listen to my values is shaping the leader I am. Thank you for helping me be a better person.”
George B - Associate Professor of Medicine, University of Toronto Hospital
“Physicians who are able to maintain a positive outlook and not waste time fighting the bureaucracy are able to keep their enthusiasm and energy up. Fighting creates too much resistance…Your coaching was 9 out of 10. It helped me put things into perspective.”
Andrew S. - V.P. IT, Bank of America
“Faith was a motivating factor in helping me to make a career change. Faith understood some of the deep issues behind why it was so difficult for me to just leave and find another job. She knew I was the kind of person with a strong sense of loyalty. At the same time, she understood that I had a fear deep within me of failing. So how did she help me? In two ways. First, she acknowledged the feelings that I had towards the company I was working for. I learned that it was not disloyal to leave the company but to look at it as an accomplishment in my life. Second, she addressed the fear by helping me to realize that if I could work for 10 years with my company, and they were satisfied then I shouldn’t fear not getting another job with more career opportunities. I made a decision with no regrets.”
Mary S. - Communications Director, Dalhousie University
“Faith’s career reinvention coaching really helped me develop a work plan, which I have followed and will continue to revise over the next several years. For example, one of my goals was to: Explore whether there are opportunities to teach business writing and writing for the Internet. There are! And I begin doing so in two months. I am going to be teaching in the Mount’s (Mount St. Vincent University) PR department, starting in January. That is one of the 3 designated areas for reinvention. So, I am absolutely thrilled!”
