"Thanks again for the call today. I always get so much from our sessions."
"Whether you are feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or just starting out in your career, I would highly recommend working with my career coach. She will help you find a career path that you will love and is best suited for you. Her framework is both methodical and well structured, and she genuinely has your best interest. She is highly skilled in all aspects of career development and exploration. My career path is unique and has a lot of nuances, but she was able to guide me to significantly more clarity, as well as develop solutions to identify the best career path and course of action for me. I am very glad to have crossed paths with my career coach!"
"I would recommend WOKEN to anyone who wants to spend a bit of time really considering the best career path before diving head-first into the job search. As a mid-career professional, I was not sure that I needed career exploration, but I got a lot of value out of this step. Without this service, I know I would have wasted a lot of time applying to roles that were not a great fit for me. Having the confidence to approach the process with patience allowed me to land not just a job, but a great job that feels perfectly suited to me."
"I feel very fortunate to have worked with my career coach. She is a phenomenal career coach and has been instrumental in helping me design my business. She has a rare ability to understand the market as well as connect personally with her clients. She helped me figure out the right career path and also pursue it methodically. I am grateful that our paths crossed. I would definitely recommend her services to those who need an amazing coach to boost their careers."
"...direction about how to find the most interesting and compelling work for myself...the platform makes the confusing, open-ended process of career exploration much clearer and manageable."
"I started using WOKEN at a time in my professional life when I was very direction-less. I was confused and unsure. I had been in a role that was not a good fit for me and what I wanted to do, but I felt stuck and out-of-control as to how and when to make a change. The biggest difference after using the WOKEN platform is a mindset change. My coach's confidence rubbed off on me, really just because I feel prepared now. I feel informed. I feel like I am in control now and that naturally lowers anyone's anxiety. What was the biggest benefit for me was not just keeping myself accountable, but USING the platform's tools to make things easier for me. Tracking who I wanted to network with, which companies I wanted to target, notes from networking calls, as well as questions I wanted to ask. It acted as a central hub to keep myself organized through what I assumed initially would be a very chaotic process. And practically, the direction in updating my resume was SO valuable! ...Who should use WOKEN? Everyone. People who naturally have networking and "career-building" personalities would probably thrive with the platform, but people like myself who find professional networking more challenging would benefit immensely from the guidance the platform provides. It's not magic and it's not EASY. It takes a lot of work, just like anything. But it is guidance. It is specific direction. It is not vague or ambiguous. It is a toolbox for anyone confused or unsure about their next professional move."
"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."
"Made me reflect on what I really wanted for myself in a regimented way."
"I just want some certainty and rationality. I feel your plan is more strategic than mine was."
"Probably the most helpful feature is just the fact that the relationship with my career coach. My career coach texts me, talks to me, and reminds me to do stuff. Like that there is the most important problems in my life, and I'm extensively trying really hard to solve, and it becomes so easy. Having her touch base and offering encouragement, resources, and insights, just kind of helps me keep my highest self interest in mind, so that's huge. I will definitely work with my career coach for sure. It does provide a really valuable snapshot of a lot of things like change jobs or how to get my dream job. I can even use this system again on my own."
