"I’m so grateful to have worked with my coach at WOKEN. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and overall a great coach - she knows when to support, when to push a little harder, and how to help her clients get out of their own way. I can’t recommend her highly enough."

"When I started using the WOKEN platform I was confused about my next career step. I had decided to leave a full-time position in creative video production in exchange for freelance work, but needed guidance and direction about how to find the most interesting and compelling work for myself. I am now starting a new full time position with a healthcare organization and am more confident in my career trajectory.My experience was extremely positive. my career coach is very supportive and the platform makes the confusing, open-ended process of career exploration much clearer and manageable.By providing benchmarks for progress, templates for important documents, and direction for networking strategies, the WOKEN platform provided me with many benefits. It worked great for me specifically as someone in the creative field looking to make a mid-career switch, however I see the benefits could be even MORE beneficial for recent college graduates or people in more traditional fields with more straightforward trajectories."

"I have clarity on my path! The primary benefit was putting structure to the networking process. This would be beneficial for people who are looking for a structured approach to the job discovery and search process."

"Before WOKEN, I had just left a career I was in for almost ten years, and didn't know what to do next. I knew I needed a change, but didn't know where to start. I also knew that my resume and how I presented myself would need to change to reflect my new career path, and I definitely needed help with that. Now, I know what I want to do and have learned a variety of useful tools to help me find a job that's right for me. The primary benefits of the platform for me were figuring out what my next career goals were and how to present myself using my resume, cover letter, and Linkedin to be more attractive to those opportunities. Anyone who is unsure of the direction of their career or someone who is job hunting and needs help with resumes, interviews, and job applications should leverage WOKEN."

"Everything I have done so far has been valuable. Thank you!! I think this is a really great platform. Thank you for making me take a step back and trust the process!! "

I felt stuck and helpless, knowing that I wanted to leave my current role and work environment but not knowing the concrete steps to get that process started. Now, I feel confident that I can make changes in my career as I see fit. The main benefits of the platform for me was accountability, concrete steps from my coach, and breaking down the goals into smaller steps by only unlocking steps in the platform after the previous one had been created. People that would benefit from WOKEN include college students and recent grads; people deciding whether to go to school or join the workforce; career changers; anyone who is in their career but is unsure why!

"I was introduced to my career coach and WOKEN when I was starting to think seriously about leaving my teaching career. I had realized that teaching was not a career where my strengths could be best utilized, but I didn't know what else I could do with my degree. Through the WOKEN process, I was able to deep dive into finding my strengths and interests. As I continued the process, I felt more and more confident that I could find a way out of my career and into something that I loved. After taking the process at my own pace, I landed a job that I am SO excited to get started in! I don't think I could have confidently made this huge career change without the guidance of the WOKEN team and process. I would highly recommend WOKEN to anyone still figuring out where they belong in the work force."

"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 assessment was hard but really made me think!!!!"

"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
