"This assessment is so different but I like it!"

"Before using WOKEN, my level of career stress was relatively high. It was like a seven or something. Now, it is lower like 4, and part of that is because I am using WOKEN. Before I used WOKEN. I was like 4. Now, probably 8 (re: career clarity). I feel a lot more confident. By talking to my career coach, she pushed my boundaries saying that you should know, so now, it is even stronger than it was back then. RE: the platform: I like the way it constructs. The way it splits into separate tabs like priority tab and networking tab. I found that is helpful. I also like the reflection on call. A lot people just work on something but never reflect. It helps me to actively write down what to say, what you didn't like about the call. It is actually pretty powerful."

"The best part was the interactive coaching, makes you have an understanding of current situation and goals. Gave me confidence knowing what I want to pursue."

"I gained a tremendous level of confidence and clarity about the roles I was seeking and felt confident enough to pass over applying to roles that were not a great fit for me. I established the beginnings of a great industry network and landed a job through that network!"

"I started using WOKEN at a time in my professional life when I was very direction-less. I was confused and unsure. I had been in a role that was not a good fit for me and what I wanted to do, but I felt stuck and out-of-control as to how and when to make a change. The biggest difference after using the WOKEN platform is a mindset change. My coach's confidence rubbed off on me, really just because I feel prepared now. I feel informed. I feel like I am in control now and that naturally lowers anyone's anxiety. What was the biggest benefit for me was not just keeping myself accountable, but USING the platform's tools to make things easier for me. Tracking who I wanted to network with, which companies I wanted to target, notes from networking calls, as well as questions I wanted to ask. It acted as a central hub to keep myself organized through what I assumed initially would be a very chaotic process. And practically, the direction in updating my resume was SO valuable! ...Who should use WOKEN? Everyone. People who naturally have networking and "career-building" personalities would probably thrive with the platform, but people like myself who find professional networking more challenging would benefit immensely from the guidance the platform provides. It's not magic and it's not EASY. It takes a lot of work, just like anything. But it is guidance. It is specific direction. It is not vague or ambiguous. It is a toolbox for anyone confused or unsure about their next professional move."

"Working with my career coach has been life-changing. She has pushed me to better my strategy and mindset giving me the guidance to pursue the results and outcomes I seek. Regardless of the issue, my career coach has helped me look at it from both a high and low-level perspective in order to determine the actions I need to execute and not only focuses on the bottom line but approaches the coaching journey with a focus on all aspects of life. Thank you my career coach for your continued support and commitment."

I realized that it is okay to want something different out of a job/career than your friends, family, colleagues, etc. I learned how to network! And to incorporate an element of experimentation into my career. Make a hypothesis, try something out, adjust as necessary. I grew my Linkedin network. I received and accepted a job offer, and I started a new job! I clarified that I want a larger team to work with. I feel more confident now making career changes.

"The program provides the structure to methodically work through the process of career exploration, job searching, and networking. I love the platform, the ability to move at my own pace, and the promptness of the feedback. I have gained clarity in how my skills can be transferred to other careers beyond education."

"During the past few months, I’ve been working with my career coach to help determine what my next career steps are. I entered the process feeling stuck, defeated and open to suggestions for finding what my path and purpose is. Through the assessment, the one-on-one coaching, the group coaching sessions (realizing I’m not alone and hearing others’ strategies), and self-reflection and journaling, I now feel SO FREE, excited, & relieved in pursuing my PhD in Psychology. During the process, I have been overwhelmed with gratitude for my career coach and her team at WOKEN for her grace and expertise in helping me get there. I now feel like I’m doing what I was put in this universe to do, and I have never felt so much joy or freedom in my vocational pursuits." #gratitude #coaching #freedom #reflection #dothework #getunstuck

"You've been an amazing help!!! I couldn't have done this without your support and encouragement, especially in my darkest days these past few months."
