Testimonials
"A few months after returning from maternity leave, I found myself at a career crossroads. I was in the process of interviewing at a new company and felt overwhelmed by everything. Enter Wendy. She helped me prioritize my career goals and navigate my decision to leave my current role. She also coached me through my job negotiation with the new company, and gave me advice on how to ask for flexibility in my schedule as a working parent. I came away from our coaching sessions with more clarity and confidence. I highly recommend working with Wendy -- she is incredibly insightful and gives really tactical advice. Ultimately, she taught me how to advocate for myself, which has been so valuable!"
- Hannah Levy, Founder + Editor, The Rebis
"I worked with Wendy during the pivotal early months of my career transition; her support was invaluable in that time. I began my career pivot confident that I brought valuable skills from my previous career, but at times found it difficult a pitch to land in an industry trained to prize more traditional credentials. Wendy kept me on track; she helped structure my story and my search, both through meetup workshops and one on one meetings."
