"I learned what direction I’m meant to go in, I know what field I want to go in now and it’s super relieving, I can’t wait to finish the process!"

"Helping me establish and refine my pitch was HUGE. The early days of focusing on developing a vision for the kind of role/industry I would be most excited about was really helpful in committing to the job search and what I wanted. I also liked the accountability it brought to the job search and having monthly calls to chat through obstacles and wins was great."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"During the past few months, I’ve been working with my career coach to help determine what my next career steps are. I entered the process feeling stuck, defeated and open to suggestions for finding what my path and purpose is. Through the assessment, the one-on-one coaching, the group coaching sessions (realizing I’m not alone and hearing others’ strategies), and self-reflection and journaling, I now feel SO FREE, excited, & relieved in pursuing my PhD in Psychology. During the process, I have been overwhelmed with gratitude for my career coach and her team at WOKEN for her grace and expertise in helping me get there. I now feel like I’m doing what I was put in this universe to do, and I have never felt so much joy or freedom in my vocational pursuits." #gratitude #coaching #freedom #reflection #dothework #getunstuck

"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."

"I was hoping for guidance on how to make the correct decision about my next career move. I was unhappy in my current position feeling unchallenged and unmotivated; I knew a change needed to be initiated. Prior to the discussion, I was not sure what direction I wanted to take. Through conversation, we were able to clarify my career goals and aspirations. One thing I learned through this process was: if you want a certain industry, why remain complacent? Go for it now. So, that is just what I did. With the motivation from our conversation, I applied to two opportunities that fell in the realm of what space I wanted to be in. As the following two weeks went by, I had multiple interviews for both positions. Two weeks later, I had offers from both positions. I was ecstatic. Per the guidance I received, I was able to leverage those offers against each other to maximize my salary, position and benefits. I am grateful I took the chance to do this because it allowed me to express my desires for career growth that I hadn't even fully shared with myself. Now I can say I am very excited to be moving into a new role which puts me on my path to success."

"Thank you for keeping me on track, and tying "feel"/insights to concrete, actionable items. Giving me a lot of clarity."

I realized that it is okay to want something different out of a job/career than your friends, family, colleagues, etc. I learned how to network! And to incorporate an element of experimentation into my career. Make a hypothesis, try something out, adjust as necessary. I grew my Linkedin network. I received and accepted a job offer, and I started a new job! I clarified that I want a larger team to work with. I feel more confident now making career changes.
