TESTIMONIALS

President of a Houston based energy company

There are a few times in a person’s life when they feel touched and inspired by another.  With the Olympic Games on now in Athens, I am more aware than ever, how a good coach can make such difference in a person’s life. Your guidance and inspiration over the past many months has changed my life!  I will always feel indebted to you for your guidance and support over the past many months.  I thank God for bringing us together and I thank you for your devotion, insight and compassion.  I can only pray that I motivate others the way you inspire me.  You once said that you felt you had really found your calling in life and I must concur. You are the greatest!!!!!! Keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Sincerely,

G. G.

 

Dear Bill,

I would like to thank you for the support and guidance through my job search experience. As you know I always thought of myself as a “good interviewer.”  With your help, I went after the job that I wanted that was not advertised.  And I got it!  A main goal you stated was to have the company feel like they had to have me as an employee.  The interview rolled out as we role-played in the office: from the 2 minute interview on my cold call to the Vice President of the company, to documenting what they needed on one side of a piece of paper and how I could fill those needs on the other side.  After following your steps, they had to have me for their new venture in this area.  I truly believe that I would not have gone after this job and been 100% prepared for all interviews and negotiations if it had not been for you.

Thank you,

D.A., General Manager, a Houston DC location for a national discount store company

 

Quotes From Career Decision Workshop Attendees

“From my first session at St. Luke’s, I felt welcomed, cheered up, hopeful about where my life was going.  I’d been to a number of career help programs but this was utterly unique.  Everyone is made to feel capable, cared for, valued.  Thank you for your kindness, enthusiasm, and great sense of humor.  My job is great.  I love it!  It’s kind of strange but I miss the sessions.  I may just pop in and surprise you all some Thursday evening.” M.B.

“There were several things that you taught me that were instrumental in securing this job.  In particular were the statistics on using internet postings (less than 10%) vs. networking (86%) to find the job which helped me to focus my efforts to where there was the most gain.  Another was to spend 8-10 hours every day on "my current job", my job search.  That which I learned in your session on negotiating was especially useful when it came to helping the company meet my price and to eliminate unwanted contract clauses.” R.H.

“I am very happy to announce that I've accepted the position of Controller.  The company is phenomenal.  I want to sincerely thank the whole group and specifically those individuals who helped me directly.  Networking works.  I appreciated most your spiritual thought at the end of each meeting.  If I can ever be of help to you or any of the group members in the future please don't hesitate to ask.” S.S.
