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.

"I'm getting insight into roles I've never even thought about."

"The assessment was hard but really made me think!!!!"

"I was introduced to my career coach and WOKEN when I was starting to think seriously about leaving my teaching career. I had realized that teaching was not a career where my strengths could be best utilized, but I didn't know what else I could do with my degree. Through the WOKEN process, I was able to deep dive into finding my strengths and interests. As I continued the process, I felt more and more confident that I could find a way out of my career and into something that I loved. After taking the process at my own pace, I landed a job that I am SO excited to get started in! I don't think I could have confidently made this huge career change without the guidance of the WOKEN team and process. I would highly recommend WOKEN to anyone still figuring out where they belong in the work force."

"I personally think our conversation opened the door to me thinking about a move into education / being open to a move into education. I often think about you as people ask me how I approached this career transition - you were really the first person to push me to focus on what *I* wanted to do, rather than using it as a relative tiebreaker factor. "

I felt stuck and helpless, knowing that I wanted to leave my current role and work environment but not knowing the concrete steps to get that process started. Now, I feel confident that I can make changes in my career as I see fit. The main benefits of the platform for me was accountability, concrete steps from my coach, and breaking down the goals into smaller steps by only unlocking steps in the platform after the previous one had been created. People that would benefit from WOKEN include college students and recent grads; people deciding whether to go to school or join the workforce; career changers; anyone who is in their career but is unsure why!

"I am so excited to have landed what feels like an ideal role for me (I accepted today!) and can't thank you enough for your help in this process. Leaving my current world felt incredibly intimidating, and your coaching combined with the WOKEN resources demystified the process for me and gave me the confidence I needed to seek not just "a" job but the right job. I owe you my gratitude. Your advice has been invaluable.  Thanks again for all of your advice and encouragement in this process. You are truly great at your job!"

"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. "

"As a career changer, I was very lost, confused, frustrated and desperate to find the right professional path for myself before starting WOKEN. I had moments where I wasn't sure I would find what I was looking for, but I did and I'm ecstatic. My confidence and motivation have grown exponentially. I'm so happy to have finally found purpose and direction! The platform provided a road map, many points of reflection and questions that I had not considered in the past. Unlocking the next stages after completing each section helped keep me on track and bring me back to focus on my goals. Here's who I think would benefit from WOKEN: He/she/they who are ready to take on the challenge of finding professional direction and experience that holds their interest and keeps them motivated and excited. Also, for the individual who is tired of mindlessly applying to jobs without results or purpose beyond getting out of a toxic environment or following the status quo. If you're ready to land the career that brings you joy, aligns with your values, addresses what matters to you and that you deserve, act, and make moves because this is for you."

"You've been so helpful with landing the role and setting up an ongoing growth plan with management. Please know how much I appreciate the help and what a big difference it made. I feel I have a path forward now. Thank you for your help!"
