What our clients are saying about our coaching!

My name is Meagan D. I am a senior at Virginia Tech and will be graduating this spring with a Bachelor of Science in Mining and Minerals Engineering. Working with Chris has been such an amazing experience. I have known Chris for most of my life, and she has acted as my biggest advisor and role model in my academic and professional careers. She is the reason why I went into engineering, a very male dominated field, because unlike my high school advisor Chris saw my potential academically and socially.   

Over the course of a couple of months, Chris and I met once a week to intentionally work through both my emotional and professional goals. During that time, she helped me build confidence in myself by identifying the traits and characteristics that make me unique and a strong candidate to hire. We focused on preparing for my career fair, practicing my elevator pitch, and refining my resume so it truly reflected who I am and what I bring to the table. Each week built on the last, and she consistently challenged me to recognize my value and step into it with confidence.  

Because of our time working together I am happy to say that I accepted a full-time position as a Mining Engineer Trainee at Heidelberg Materials in Union Bridge, Maryland, where I will be working at their cement quarry and plant. More importantly, I gained a deeper confidence in myself as both a person and an incoming professional. I met my goal of securing a full-time position that is unique and one I am truly proud of, and I know that the structure, accountability, and encouragement from our weekly sessions played a huge role in helping me get there.  

 I cannot thank you enough for offering your coaching to me.  When we re-connected, your enthusiasm to be a part of my journey was infectious.  I felt safe opening up to you.  Getting deep into my hopes, fears, anxieties and I felt your grounded presence. You met me where I was and gave me perfect exercises to move forward when I felt stuck and opened my mind to new possibilities and cultivated a safe and supported space for me to dream. I looked forward to our coaching calls, knowing you’d be excited to talk to me no matter what I brought to the table and would have something for me to get refocused.  With this coaching I feel more sure about my path, and have tools I can use going forward.
