2. It
was
a
great
pleasure
to
work
with
Pam
recently,
as
my
career
coach.
A9er
many
months
of
looking
for
just
the
right
posi<on
at
the
right
place,
it
became
apparent
that
my
brand
needed
upda<ng.
More
importantly,
I
needed
to
be@er
understand
my
own
brand!
Pam
worked
her
magic
to
tease
out
of
my
decades
of
experience
just
what
ma@ered
most
to
me
and
to
a
prospec<ve
employer.
She
refocused
my
experiences
to
solidly
convey
these
much
more
clearly
and
as
a
result
created
stronger
formats
of
my
resume,
LinkedIn
profile
and
interviewing
approaches.
I
par<cularly
appreciated
Pam's
ability
to
just
listen
to
me
and
hear
what
I
no
longer
could;
the
trees
from
the
forest
if
you
will.
I
highly
recommend
Pam
for
any
serious
introspec<ve
phase
of
career
coaching
you
may
be
facing,
too.

3. I
found
Pam
through
networking
at
work
(a
large
financial
ins<tu<on).
Isn’t
that
the
way
you
always
find
the
best
people?
Through
a
trusted
friend?
I
was
in
the
process
of
evalua<ng
my
dissa<sfac<on
at
work.
Was
it
me?
Was
it
my
boss?
Was
it
the
work?
I
wasn’t
sure.
One
of
my
trusted
advisors
asked
me
what
I
was
good
at.
I
said
something
like,
“I
will
have
to
get
back
to
you
on
that!”
So
the
journey
began
to
iden<fy
my
strengths,
my
purpose
and
my
passion.
My
advisor
suggested
I
contact
Pam
for
an
ini<al
consulta<on,
so
that
we
could
evaluate
whether
her
services
would
be
a
good
investment,
for
both
of
us.
I
admire
that
Pam
interviews
each
prospect
to
ensure
that
her
services
and
counsel
will
be
valuable.
We
decided
we
were
a
match!
I
worked
with
Pam
for
6
months,
with
regular
communica<on
on
the
phone
and
via
email.
I
am
in
Columbus,
Ohio
and
she
is
in
Sea@le,
Washington
–
the
distance
did
not
ma@er.
Through
a
series
of
challenging
ques<ons
and
homework
assignments
Pam
helped
me
to
define
my
strengths
and
my
purpose.
With
this
very
valuable
informa<on,
I
was
then
able
to
cra9
a
“personal
value
statement”
that
accurately
described
me.
We
updated
my
resume
as
well.
I
am
very
proud
and
happy
to
say
that
I
have
secured
a
new
posi<on
that
I
am
passionate
about
and
wake
up
excited
for
another
day.
The
financial
investment
was
minimal
compared
to
the
personal
growth
and
benefit!

4. A9er
a
recent
job
transi<on
I
thought
it
was
a
good
<me
to
evaluate
my
career
op<ons.
I
not
only
wanted
to
find
a
resource
to
help
me
with
my
overall
career
explora<on
process
but
I
also
thought
it
was
important
to
find
someone
that
could
challenge
how
I
was
looking
at
my
career.
Pam
has
proven
to
be
exactly
what
I
was
looking
for.
In
working
with
Pam
I
was
able
to
"dust"
off
my
3
year
old
resume.
Pam
helped
iden<fy
insights
and
experiences
that
I
should
start
to
leverage
in
my
resume.
We
also
outlined
a
game
plan
to
iden<fy
my
longer-‐term
career
goals.
Pam
led
me
through
a
series
of
discussions
and
interac<ons
that
helped
guide
me
towards
a
clear
set
of
career
objec<ves.
Thanks
to
Pam
I
have
shi9ed
my
thinking
and
career
<meline
towards
goals
that
I
didn’t
think
were
possible,
but
now
I’m
confident
I
can
achieve
them
and
be
personally
and
professionally
fulfilled.
Bo@om
line:
I
have
great
respect
for
Pam
and
the
value
she
has
delivered
for
me.
She
is
an
astute
business
professional
so
she
understands
the
environment
I’m
in
and
can
relate
to
my
experiences.
Pam
is
honest
and
is
passionate
about
what
she
is
doing
so
don’t
be
surprised
if
that
influences
your
thinking
and
a^tude.

5. I
used
to
think
of
coaching
as
a
luxury,
but
now
I
have
a
different
view.
Our
work
together
has
been
helpful
with
short-‐term
issues
like
handling
certain
situa<ons,
and
understanding
myself
be@er
helps
guide
my
ac<ons.
It
has
also
helped
with
the
bigger
ques<ons
like
what
is
my
ideal
job
and
what
would
make
me
feel
fulfilled.
It’s
really
great
to
bounce
things
off
another
experienced
businessperson
to
get
insights
into
things
like
the
best
way
to
approach
a
certain
audience
or
strategize
on
a
project.
I
feel
I
can
be
totally
honest,
and
having
a
coach
causes
me
to
be
more
accountable
for
keeping
my
commitments
to
myself.
I
think
these
are
the
things
that
make
it
an
essen<al,
not
a
luxury.
