Love Letters from thankful clients

I was dreading the job application process because I was not confident in my resume.  Alison’s coaching and feedback turned that around.

My resume went from an itemized list of responsibilities to one that showed my true worth.  By the end of the process, I had two offers, including one that was 50% more than my previous position.

Maria

I can confidently say that I would not have my dream job if it were not for Alison.

When it came to the negotiating process and deciding between roles, Alison was right there with me. I found that, because I was working with Alison, the feeling of free fall that I had been experiencing dissipated. I knew that I had someone to talk about the job hunt with and that she would be there to turn to. Knowing Alison was there as a resource, I was able to balance my mental health and personal life during the job seeking process.

Alice

Alison really pushed me to recognize my worth!

After our session, I countered a job offer, requesting an additional $10K…and they offered it!  Alison helped me reframe my job hunt and that gave me the confidence I needed to ask for what I deserve.  She’s wonderful!

Noelle

Alison is the perfect coach for women seeking new career opportunities.

Without Alison’s advice, I wouldn’t have been able to get a $15,000 increase in offered salary and almost triple the signing bonus! She also skillfully coached me through navigating a tough conversation with my prospective employer about parental leave that resulted in their adjusting their leave policy.

Gabrielle

Alison was amazing to work with. Right away, I felt at ease with her and was able to really connect with the coaching she gave me.

Alison is fantastic at what she does and I would 1000% times recommend her to anyone looking for help with their career skills. Her services were worth their weight in gold!

MEET YOUR COACH

Hey, I’m Alison!

I combine over ten years of experience as an attorney in elite non-profits with my experience as a career counselor at Tulane Law School to help clients take control of their career paths. I understand the world of competitive job searching–as someone who has served as a career development professional, a hiring manager, and as a job seeker myself.  

It’s my goal to create an army of empowered women, who will cause a tectonic shift in the labor market. I want to ensure that employers maximize professional development opportunities, provide generous salaries, and allow flexible schedules and other working conditions that are conducive to workers’ ability to fulfill care responsibilities and enjoy their lives and their families.

I haven’t shared much in the last several months.  Like many, the omicron variant threw our family into turmoil.  Between Christmas and March, our daughter was in school a total of six days due to a horrible mix of classroom shut downs, quarantine mandates,...
