“Coaching through Embrace Change (with Brandon) has made a clear and direct impact on my self confidence. My ability to network and build a wider community of both professional and personal colleagues has been noticeable among family and friends as I've become more involved in the Embrace Change network.

“Coaching in particular helped me with my negotiation skills, an area that I have been wanting to improve on for years. The biggest impact coaching has had on me and my life so far is the noticeable confidence in my ability to pursue goals and long-time dreams I've thought about time and time again.”

“Hiring Cynthia was one of the best investments I made! She helped me negotiate a new job offer with a 47% salary increase. Cynthia truly understands the professional dynamics that women of color face.”

“I feel more centered and hopeful about the decision that I can make based on my conversation with Payal. I felt understood and supported, and honestly, could see myself benefitting from more conversations.

“The biggest impact that coaching has had on me so far is that it gave me a different form of permission to trust myself and my aspirations.

“I would recommend Payal's services to people because she was a great listener and provided helpful resources.”

“Cynthia is such a steady, positive presence, and valuable thought partner. She helped me make time and space for thinking long-term about my career, and brings ideas I would never have on my own. She’s also SO good at highlighting the things that I’m already doing well, which I’ve found to be HUGELY (and unexpectedly!) grounding.”

“Brandon was great to work with and had a concrete process for working through some complex career goals. I feel much clearer and more confident in how to communicate and tell stories around what it is that I can offer.”

“Coaching has helped me reframe how I face obstacles. Before, it was easy to get stuck in ‘I don't know.’ Now, I have Payal's voice in my head (in a calm and curious tone) asking me the right questions and encouraging me to take action even if I don't feel confident. I also feel motivated to explore my ideas and have a structure to hold myself accountable.

Coaching was a great investment and the consistency was incredibly helpful.

He is very attentive to the needs of his clients and I would definitely work with Steve in the future.”

“Stephanie helped me land an incredible position within a matter of weeks. She first spotted a likely match between my skills and what my company was looking for. She made sure I was aware of the whole process, making connections and answering my questions in a very timely manner. Stephanie made sure I pulled through and gave me encouragement when I needed it most. I would highly recommend working with her!”
