"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 is the first time I ever enjoyed the resume editing process."

"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!"

"The program provides the structure to methodically work through the process of career exploration, job searching, and networking. I love the platform, the ability to move at my own pace, and the promptness of the feedback. I have gained clarity in how my skills can be transferred to other careers beyond education."

"The accountability, direction, and motivation from my career coach. And also, really taking the time to reflect on what I have done, what my strengths, weaknesses, and what I can do, through the platform."

"Getting started is the hardest part, but I felt like having someone to check in with every week or two weeks was what motivated me to actually do these things. I'm super comfortable with my career coach."

"You've been an amazing help!!! I couldn't have done this without your support and encouragement, especially in my darkest days these past few months."

"Structured approach to research/learning, a proactive way to channel career uncertainty/anxiety, accountability."

"Nailed the interview! Wow that was fun!"

"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.
