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.

"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!"
"I keep being so hard on myself to know what I want to do right now but I like that this platform encourages me to take my time and doesn't push for me to have a definitive answer right away."
"The WOKEN process really is different."
"There is a difference between being casually interested and actually wanting to live, eat, and breathe an industry/role."
"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."
"This process is important to me because I need to be happy in life---and not miserable at my job EVERY day. Thank you for accompanying me on this journey. I'm excited about it all."
"I LOVED the assessment! It was really helpful to spend so much time reflecting, and I noticed several themes popping up over and over."
"I feel much more confident and am in a significantly better place after using the WOKEN platform. I appreciated that my coach went above and beyond the scope of coaching to help when I shared challenges with motivation. There is no question that my coach wants me to succeed and is continuously focused on asking the right questions, gathering the right information, and being strategic every step of the way. It was a pleasure to work with my career coach and I look forward to staying in touch."
"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 am so especially pleased with the results of my career coaching sessions with my coach at Woken! In a matter of 8 weeks I was able to get multiple job offers, ultimately taking a position at a firm that I have been following for more than three years. After working at the same company for nearly ten years, I needed a change, but the last two times I was on the "hunt" was a terrible experience (circa 2008 and 2012). I was dreading getting back into the market but Woken made it easy. There is a great platform to guide the user/job seeker but I personally benefited the most from the one-on-one coaching sessions. We covered a lot of content in a short amount of time via mock interviews which provided immediate feedback and strategies for presentation and fielding questions. My coach provided me with the confidence and perspective that I needed to pursue the role I wanted, and ultimately I ended up being the "top" prospect. Now, I have the job I wanted, at the firm I wanted, with the compensation I deserve (thanks to key advice on negotiation), and I am truly grateful for my coach’s help!"
