Learn how we helped Holly to be proactive, structured, and deliberate in understanding her transferrable skills, confidently deciding on which career direction felt most compatible, and successfully pivoting into that path.
We hear people often say, "where do I start?" or "I fell into this career path instead of choosing a path intentionally" or "money isn't enough anymore, I need to find fulfillment at work" and much more.

"Before using WOKEN, my level of career stress was relatively high. It was like a seven or something. Now, it is lower like 4, and part of that is because I am using WOKEN. Before I used WOKEN. I was like 4. Now, probably 8 (re: career clarity). I feel a lot more confident. By talking to my career coach, she pushed my boundaries saying that you should know, so now, it is even stronger than it was back then. RE: the platform: I like the way it constructs. The way it splits into separate tabs like priority tab and networking tab. I found that is helpful. I also like the reflection on call. A lot people just work on something but never reflect. It helps me to actively write down what to say, what you didn't like about the call. It is actually pretty powerful."
"Can't tell you how much it helps having your support and having you in my corner! Helps with all the stress, thoughts and anxiousness so much! Thank you!"
"When I started using the WOKEN platform I was confused about my next career step. I had decided to leave a full-time position in creative video production in exchange for freelance work, but needed guidance and direction about how to find the most interesting and compelling work for myself. I am now starting a new full time position with a healthcare organization and am more confident in my career trajectory.My experience was extremely positive. my career coach is very supportive and the platform makes the confusing, open-ended process of career exploration much clearer and manageable.By providing benchmarks for progress, templates for important documents, and direction for networking strategies, the WOKEN platform provided me with many benefits. It worked great for me specifically as someone in the creative field looking to make a mid-career switch, however I see the benefits could be even MORE beneficial for recent college graduates or people in more traditional fields with more straightforward trajectories."
"I’m so grateful to have worked with my coach at WOKEN. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and overall a great coach - she knows when to support, when to push a little harder, and how to help her clients get out of their own way. I can’t recommend her highly enough."
"Thanks again for the call today. I always get so much from our sessions."
"I LOVED the assessment! It was really helpful to spend so much time reflecting, and I noticed several themes popping up over and over."
"confidence to ride the networking wave after having discovered the best career direction for me."
"I like how WOKEN is keeping me organized."
"Helping me establish and refine my pitch was HUGE. The early days of focusing on developing a vision for the kind of role/industry I would be most excited about was really helpful in committing to the job search and what I wanted. I also liked the accountability it brought to the job search and having monthly calls to chat through obstacles and wins was great."
I realized that it is okay to want something different out of a job/career than your friends, family, colleagues, etc. I learned how to network! And to incorporate an element of experimentation into my career. Make a hypothesis, try something out, adjust as necessary. I grew my Linkedin network. I received and accepted a job offer, and I started a new job! I clarified that I want a larger team to work with. I feel more confident now making career changes.
