"I had a great nonprofit role for the past 4 years that was coming to an end so I was looking for guidance to search for new jobs and how to best present myself. I felt unmoored and unclear prior to coaching. Brandon was immensely helpful to help me understand what I want and need from a new job, how to present myself confidently, and how to vet potential new employers. He helped me make the decision to accept a great job and, best of all, how to negotiate to get a better offer. I was offered a role for $65,000 and Brandon helped me have a clear plan to negotiate. I accepted the role with a higher title and salary of $80,250.”

Furthermore, another former client had this to say about Brandon:
“[Before coaching] I was feeling like I was free floating a little bit in terms of the trajectory of my career and how to move forward. It felt incredibly daunting and almost paralyzing to try to take steps when it felt like I didn't even know what steps to take. [Brandon] helped me identify what kinds of jobs I am looking for, and what is non-negotiable for me in terms of work and work-life balance. He has also helped me understand my own strengths and how to use those to the best of my ability, as well as how to effectively communicate my strengths to others.”
