Case Studies

A behind-the-scenes look at career coaching. 121 case studies with coaching clients sharing their career change stories and how they developed their careers.

In these videos, clients share the challenges they were facing before hiring a career and leadership coach. The highs, and lows throughout the coaching process. The profound ah-ha moments, and exactly what helped them to get unstuck, move forward with confidence and thrive in their careers, and as managers/leaders.

You'll find each story is very different, reflecting how unique we are as individuals, but with cross-cutting themes. Revealing how underneath it all, we have very similar worries, fears, and dreams.
