Situation: Possible Career Transition
Coaching Focus: Clarity, Strategy, Implementation
Outcome: Landed first C-Suite role as a result of coaching
Quote:
“I worked with Michelle as I contemplated a career transition and stepping into a more senior role outside my organization. I found Michelle attentive and able to positively push me in the right direction. Sometimes calling me out when I needed it or just offering encouragement to help get in the right frame of mind before interviews.
Her process of helping you understand what gets you excited about work, what you don’t like doing, and what you should be doing is spot on. When many people (me included) don’t really take the time to evaluate potential roles against personal intangibles the process makes a lot of sense in trying to not only get to the next role but get to the “right” next role.
The program is well worth the cost and I would highly recommend Michelle for people who are looking for someone to work with them in finding the “next”, just be prepared to trust the process.”

Coaching Focus: Strategy, Interview + Offer Negotiation Coaching
Outcome: Landed role with increased offer
Quote:
“Michelle helped me in my recent journey to make a change and take a leap forward with my career. The last time I was in the position to seek out a new job was over a decade ago. Wanting extra guidance, I engaged with Michelle as a career coach.
She helped me to realize my potential and my worth, while I was just testing the waters of the local market, to beginning my job search, and through to my final decision. She coached me on what to include in my resume and work samples for my experience. She guided me in what to prepare prior to interviews, bringing up many perspectives and key questions I might have overlooked. The honesty and insightfulness of Michelle's constructive criticism truly aided in self reflection. All of Michelle's experiences in the design industry to recruiting give her a great background to provide many points of view. She asks so many thoughtful questions to help you fully realize your potential.
She helped me analyze the pros and cons of my offers, pushing me to dig deep and to define what I truly want from my next career move. After going through the interview process, and with Michelle's negotiation coaching, I landed the job I was searching for.”

Outcome: Landed 1st role outside Army Life!

“My last interview was to be a salesman at Best Buy back when I was in high school. The military doesn't interview you for jobs as you move along, but rather you establish relationships in the organization and senior people will request you are sent to their command or division.
Establishing a strong resume, writing cover letters, and making it through interviews - these things were all new to me. Very scary! My coach helped me understand the key points of a first level HR interview, 2nd interviews, and in-person vs. phone interviews. She also armed me with overall perspective of the interviewer using her background as a previous corporate recruiter.
If RP4C can help a "fish out of water" like an old soldier getting into the civilian world, they can certainly guide anyone. Their ability to start from an assessment and then work toward where you need help is impressive. I recommend their services without hesitation.”

Outcome: Landed more senior role + within the goal of the “design lane”
Quote:
“Working with RP4C over a number of months gave me the regularly scheduled time and mental space to focus on my next career move, as well as the tools to consider and understand what that next move should be, and why.
My coach kept me on track through resume and portfolio updating, and on task as I moved forward with actively job searching and networking. Ultimately, the time and energy spent gave me confidence in a surprising opportunity that I otherwise may have been uncertain about.
I was able to happily embrace my good fortune without worry or doubt, certain it was the right thing for me, my career, and my life.”
