Client Stories

When I first met Lori, I was in a rut. Having spent 25 years in the same industry, I was bored, max’d out and didn't know what to do next.  I was pigeon-holed into an industry that I was not so fond of, and saw no way to get out.  I felt trapped.

Consulting a Career Coach should be mandatory for anyone in today's work force, and Lori is the best at her profession.
