Strategic guidance helped Dr. Kathryn D. make the right career change.

"I worked with Dr. Erica Walls on career goals and strategies for switching my career. She was my guide as I moved from front-line fundraising to philanthropy consulting and a role as a university professor. Erica put me on a path that nourishes my soul and brings meaning to my work."

Nana A. gained clarity and confidence.

"I came into the program feeling uncertain and lacking confidence in my future career options, however this has completely changed since working with Erica. I now feel more self-assured in my skills and abilities and I see myself as having lots to offer to my future employer. The program has been great at getting me to identify and value my skills and talents that I had previously overlooked."

Rediscover your value like Dr. Rachel R. did.

"This program has allowed me to rediscover myself, my strengths, and my skills at a time when I was really lacking confidence. Seeing how my experiences and values translate to my skills, abilities, and professional goals has allowed me to become far more confident in my career direction. This program has also allowed me to better prioritize a direction and ask myself what I want to do, not just what I 'can do'."

Like Ellen E., you can discover new possibilities for your expertise.

"I have gained insights into how my education and skills can translate to something else. My goal sounds like me, like what I want. I can imagine that. I feel confident about it."

Dr. Tanisha W. found the confidence to align her career with her values. You can too.

"I've gained more confidence in my ability to find a job that is aligned with my values and passions. I'm glad that I signed up for this program. It has been helpful in clarifying my short term and long term professional goals."

See how Zara L. overcame self-doubt to pursue bigger opportunities.

"After our coaching sessions, I was inspired to apply for opportunities that I would not have been confident enough to apply for prior. Erica helped me gain clarity on my own career goals and develop actionable strategies to progress towards my objectives."

Want to bring your values to your career? Brenda C. did.

"I most valued breaking down the stages of how to begin looking for careers/fields that I would be interested in, and understanding how I can translate my social justice values to my career."

Supportive guidance made the difference for Angelina L.

"Erica creates a positive environment where I feel comfortable to bounce ideas off of her and get constructive feedback. I am able to express my thoughts and walk away having learned so much each time."

LinkedIn optimization helped Dr. Andrea S. pivot with purpose.

"Erica saw what I couldn't... With grace and expertise, she revamped my LinkedIn page and restored my confidence... If you're navigating a career pivot or federal layoff, Dr. Erica is the coach you want in your corner."

Well-structured, expert coaching helped Shirleen K. achieve her goals.

"The whole experience was amazing! I had great appreciation for Dr. Walls' knowledge, communication, responsiveness, attentiveness, personable approach, and encouragement. All excellent! I'm so glad I took this journey."
