Pam

I wanted to drop you a line to thank you for yesterday's session.

I really enjoyed your ‘table side manner' and appreciated your empathy and support across the various dimensions of my circumstances particularly given some aspects are hardly within the realm of ‘career coaching'.

 Have a great day and thanks again.

 Regards

Hi Pam,   Thank you for your valuable advice yesterday.  I came away feeling a lot more optomistic and positive.  I know 'its only a job' but you seem to really put your heart into the work you do and its extremely beneficial.

‘I went to talk to Pam at a time I was confused and stressed about the changes I wanted to make with my career. Pam was wonderfully empathetic, but also really challenged my perceptions and the research I had done into my options. Pam helped me gain the confidence I needed and also helped unravel all the issues. I have now changed careers and feel I am moving in the 'right' direction.'

‘I am delighted to advise that I accepted a job offer yesterday.  Pending a Medical this Friday, I will commence on 5/11  in the role of Organisational Development Manager.
 
This is a local company that will provide me with stretch (being outside the Pharma Industry), is hands-on and will support my goal of work/life balance.
 
I'd like to take this opportunity to say a sincere thank you to you and a HUGE thank you to Pam for your support and follow-up.  I really do not believe I would have been able to achieve this outcome without it.' 

‘Thank you for your phone call, it was great that you are still thinking of me.

Well,  I will not bore you with all the details, but, I am doing temp work now, I am in my 4th week and I LOVE it, it is great,  the people are fantastic and I love the work, I am doing reception, but, all I have to do is answer the telephone, no STRESS, I do not know how long it will last, I am still looking for a permanent job, but this will be fine for the time being. 

I would like to reiterate again, how much you have helped me with my confidence, because as you know I had none, I am feeling better about myself and I now know that I can do anything I put my mind to (can do attitude) that is because of you and your confidence in me.'

‘Well nearly at the end of my second week here and I'm loving it.

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you both so much for your wonderful support during my time with you. It takes a special person to always have a compassionate but encouraging listening ear, to always highlight the positive side of things, and to care enough to find and suggest different ways of getting your clients back into employment... you two are both champions at that. I can't thank you both enough for putting up with me and supporting me as you have. I'm on top of the world in this new job and they're sending me to the US in just over 2 weeks to see Head Office. Again, thank you and I sincerely hope I see you both again some time although not under the same circumstances. You two "rock".

All the best, John'

I sought the services of Life Work Solutions when I was at a stage in my career when I was unhappy with my then current role and had doubts as to which direction I should take and how I could get there. In just a few sessions with Pam I was able to identify my personal drivers (ie what motivates me) and thereby clarify the type of role and type of organization that I should seek. We also reviewed my resume and made some fundamental improvements to areas such as content and design. Armed with a clear sense of where I wanted to take my career, we then looked at interview technique.

The fact that I soon secured an excellent new role in a senior capacity within a dynamic company is testimony to Pam's comprehensive and effective career management skills. I thoroughly recommend Pam to anyone looking for career advice, especially with respect to career path planning & review, resume advice, interview technique, and negotiation skills.
