"I was working in a stereotypical dead-end job, with not only no career path, but no idea what my ideal job or career should be. I'm now about to start a new job and career that I feel confident about, both short and long-term. The greatest benefit, to me, was one-on-one meetings with my coach. The assessment stage was also greatly beneficial to my process in that it allowed me to better realize what I should be looking for in a career, both in terms of industries and type of role. The folks who would benefit from WOKEN includes anyone who is looking for direction in their professional life, or even simply looking to pivot. The advice, insight, and self-discovery is invaluable to anyone in any stage of their career. "

"Thanks again for the call today. I always get so much from our sessions."

My coach at WOKEN provided wonderful advice/training. I was able to think of things from an outside perspective which really helped. The benefit of WOKEN for me was being able to better understand what types of roles I’m interested in and why. I think anyone and everyone could use this type of platform.

"The personal reflection and discernment was invaluable. My purpose became crystal clear. The process created an opportunity for me to clarify what is important to me, as well as prompted me to create my personal brand. This process is helpful for anyone. Those just beginning their journey to mid-career and seasoned veterans all benefit!"

"Thank you for the communication. I appreciate you checking in. Helps me stay accountable. I started researching one role. I actually like that the platform gives more structure and guidance in researching roles. I would've been all over the place on my own."

"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."

"I’m starting my new job today!!  Thanks again for creating a platform like WOKEN which has immensely helped me while I was stuck & on the lookout for my next opportunity. Appreciate the guidance & feedback to help me take my next career step!!"

"I've made changes at my current job, and am working to make a move to a new industry when the time is right. I feel reinvigorated, and I really don't think I could have gotten to where I am now without the support and guidance that I got from working with my career coach. While I will say, the work has to come from the individual. No one will do any of these things for you. Working with my career coach gave me the confidence to reach out and talk to strangers. It facilitated my journey of finding what I need to be doing with my career, and I couldn't be more grateful."

"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."
