"Sonia is an amazing and devoted coach who asks the right questions. She beautifully tailored her own process to my own specific needs, after thoroughly determining where I was in my search of a career. She has left no stone unturned in the process. She empowered me, gave me back so much confidence to trust in the process and in myself. After 8 weeks of homework and coaching sessions, I have a kick-ass resume and cover letter, and know how to make work for me, to get me where I want to go. I feel confident in interviews and know how to put my story and skills in the best light. I can firmly say that this was the best investment I ever made for my career! My advice to anyone reading this: take the first free call, and see if her coaching is for you, you will definitely not regret it."

"I’ve had single primary job as a Professor at a University. So my CV was of limited interest outside this sphere. Sonia helped me identify and present achievements in a way that attracted recruiters together with other activities which came across in a balanced and powerful way."

" I am so excited and motivated by our sessions and it is always great to speak with you. I have recognized that there is a much bigger world I can access outside of my project management area, and you have given me the belief and know-how to grab the opportunity I wanted.  I have landed the ideal job and it’s been a long time since I’ve been so excited. It just feels right and the sky’s the limit for my professional growth. Everything we worked on and went through helped me get to this place. I will be compensated very well, finally for what I am worth!  Our work together has really instilled professional confidence in me, I no longer doubt myself nor downplay my abilities, and I haven’t felt this good in a long time."

"Olivia has changed. She is calmer and happier. And she really looks forward to your sessions and says nothing about them afterwards. I can sense ‘pride' when she is done, self-contentment. She had confidence in her stride. She is ready to seize each new day. Something magical is happening. Thank you Sonia "

"Thank you so much for all of your support and for so much encouragement. I really got so much value out of our sessions. You helped me to discover the hidden qualities about myself that unbeknownst to me are my talents, and I feel so much more confident to express them during interviews."

- Nina, Tokyo 

"Thank you so much for all of your support. I was able to break my imposter syndrome. And I now have an awesome resume, that represents me perfectly."

"Sonia is a fantastic career coach and I am very happy to have done this journey with her. Going through a career change is not easy, at the beginning I felt lost, overwhelmed and discouraged. Together we've gone through the entire process from self-assessment - which is a first fundamental step, very often neglected by most - to writing resume, cover letter and interview preparation. The one-to-one coaching sessions with Sonia have been extremely valuable to me - she was able to understand exactly where I was stuck at my career and guide me through a conscious and tailored plan for future developments. Sonia is enthusiastic and empathetic; she has pushed me to pursue my true passions and helped to find confidence in myself. If you're stuck in a career, she will get the best out of you and prepare you to face this challenge with the right tools, motivation and confidence."

"Sonia embodies the qualities of a wonderful and effective executive coach. She listens attentively and provides suggestions to maximize your talents and obtain results.  She provides guidance in the right direction for career development and professional well-being, bringing an objective expert perspective that I found extremely helpful. 

-  Bianca, San Francisco

"I met Sonia on LinkedIn.  I had been applying to jobs in New Zealand from my country Malaysia for a long time.  I actually reached out to a few career coaches that I noticed from posts in LinkedIn.  Sonia was the only one who replied and corresponded with me even though I had very limited ability to meet her expertise level.  She made a very simple questionnaire develop into a strategic CV.  Even though I was aware of my achievements in my career,  she guided me through a few zoom sessions towards an outstanding CV, pointing  out my potential, my strengths and my passion. She made me realise my true value.  Through simple words she assisted me with interviews that have landed me a job offer in New Zealand which is what I have dreamt of for so long.  Even whilst waiting for the official job offer, she calmed me very professionally.  Her sincere and professional assistance are to be remembered for the rest of my life.  I truly recommend her expertise to whoever wishes to land their dream job."
