Courtney and I began working together at somewhat of an early turning point in my career when I was placed into a role entailing managerial responsibility as a result of turnover on the team. In a very short period of time I was expected to transition from operating as my own unit to leading a team and supporting upper management at a very difficult time for the company. The coaching program helped me over the course of 1.5 years become a better leader and manager. It also gave me the confidence and ability to speak up for my team and fellow colleagues and provide strong feedback to upper management and my superiors. The strong emphasis on continuous 360-degree feedback is something that I strive to keep active in my career even today and is perhaps one of the most valuable qualities one can develop in the early years of their career. Furthermore, the emphasis on honesty and transparency in speaking about my own goals and ambitions is something that came out of these coaching sessions and has also been a quality of mine that, I am told, is a valuable one I have. It's something that allows me to ensure I am constantly pushed and challenged and also something that allows me to build strong professional relationships. I would recommend working with Courtney because she is kind and empathetic on the one hand making her an amazing individual to speak with and open up to but at the same time very direct in her assessment, very thorough in her approach and very focused on achieving the right outcomes.

The sessions with Courtney helped me make strategic and well thought out decisions. The methodology employed by Courtney was something I had not experienced before and helped me make clear decisions regarding my career. I was able to network with people I never thought possible and the sessions were instrumental in helping me develop professionally. Through our sessions I gained a lot of invaluable knowledge. Effective communication with professionals was my biggest takeaway. The sessions helped me understand how to network, who to tap into and how to make conversations with people engaging and not one-sided. This is something that I hope to take with me throughout my professional life. I would recommend Courtney in a heartbeat to anybody looking for career guidance or support. As mentioned above her methodology is very well planned and ends up with the desired results when followed under her guidance. Her professionalism, empathy, and commitment to understanding my unique situation made the coaching experience positive and impactful. Her guidance went beyond career advice, encompassing a holistic perspective that greatly contributed to my decision-making process.

Courtney coached me through updating my resume, tailoring cover letters, maximizing my LinkedIn profile, improving my networking skills, and preparing for job interviews and salary negotiations. She also provided me with several templates to manage my job search. I'm still looking for a new job, but, after four sessions with Courtney, I feel more capable and confident about my prospects. I also feel more empowered to make the most of my current role in the meantime. I walked away from my sessions with Courtney with significantly more polished application materials; a rubric for maximizing my chances for an interview and, perhaps most significantly, more confidence about my prospects. Courtney answered every question I asked, providing me with job-specific guidance and insights. I was especially impressed by Courtney's commitment to helping me develop a portfolio of my published work; she spoke to her professional contacts in my industry to provide relevant advice. I would absolutely recommend others to work with Courtney! The job search process can be draining and demoralizing. I sought out a career coach after hearing from trusted friends who had found dream jobs after working with coaches in their respective fields. Their success inspired me to find a coach, too, and I'm grateful I landed with Courtney, who was prepared and encouraging during each of our sessions.

Working with Courtney was a game-changer for me. I’d been struggling to land a director-level role, and a big obstacle was my resume. I wasn’t sure how to frame my experience or even what a competitive director resume should look like. That uncertainty made me doubt myself. Courtney created a collaborative, judgment-free environment where we worked together to turn my experience into a powerful story. She helped me capture the impact of my work in a way I’d never been able to do before. Courtney didn’t just help me update my resume; she gave me a mindset shift. The “Challenge – Action – Result” framework changed how I approach talking about my accomplishments. I now feel confident in articulating my experience in a way that’s clear, concise, and aligned with leadership roles. I’ll use this framework from now on in everything from resumes to interviews. I walked away with more than a polished resume. I now have a clear understanding of how to present my professional story in a way that resonates with hiring managers. I also have renewed confidence in my experience and how it positions me for director-level opportunities. Most importantly, I’ve gained practical tools and strategies I can use to refine my profile as I grow in my career. I’d recommend Courtney to anyone looking to break into leadership roles or pivot their career. Her approach is especially valuable for people who are unsure of how to position their experience or who need help framing their value. Courtney is a coach who delivers results. Working with Courtney was a truly collaborative and empowering experience. She listens deeply, asks the right questions, and challenges you to think bigger about your accomplishments. I appreciated how detail-oriented and invested she was in my success. The confidence I now feel when presenting myself professionally is a direct result of her guidance, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

More feedback from past clients
One of my biggest challenges was accepting that it’s okay not to have all the answers while growing in my career. As a naturally analytical person, I often question every step and tend to be hard on myself for failures—even when they aren’t mine.
Working with Courtney was transformative. We discussed each step of the leadership process and explored how to approach different situations thoughtfully and effectively. Thanks to our coaching sessions, I’ve become more proactive rather than reactive. I handle high-tension conversations and meetings with greater confidence and composure.
Courtney also helped me find a better balance between work and health, which was particularly challenging in the demanding environment of a startup. Most importantly, she inspired me to grow as a leader by introducing me to new strategies and resources. I highly recommend her coaching to anyone looking to elevate their leadership journey.

I loved working with Courtney! She helped me with my resume and cover letter and gave me helpful tips to improve and enhance my LinkedIn profile. She is so knowledgeable about what recruiters look for in a resume and cover letter, key words and best formatting, and how to highlight your accomplishments. She helped me improve the look and content of my resume so it will be more compelling to recruiters. I would highly recommend working with Courtney for your job search because she's a great partner to help you find and land the job you'll love!
