Real words from clients who have decided to stop settling and start building careers that actually fit their lives.

Whether it was a layoff, a pivot, or a quiet knowing something needed to shift, these clients stopped waiting for the perfect moment and started moving

  • Roberta really encouraged me to pay attention to my body and physical reaction to things. I would notice turning off my camera from a 1:1 meeting and feel so drained even though I enjoyed chatting with this person and even liked them. My body is telling me is telling me this is not where you want to be spending your day.

  • When I first met with Roberta, my mind and my ideas were all over the place. Roberta patiently talked me through my desire to transition out of academia and helped get me on a path with specific steps to take toward my goal.

    She was also able to connect me with meaningful contacts so that I could properly explore my options outside of academia. I ended up moving into a program management role at a non-profit in my area. It’s been a great, collaborative experience for which I am extremely grateful!
    - Serena Rivera

  • Before working with Roberta, I struggled with setting appropriate goals and communicating them effectively. I had just transitioned out of academia, and my frameworks and timelines were in desperate need of updating.

    In our work together, I discovered strategies and exercises that I could implement right away to shift my mental models, adjust to my new environment, and redefine what ’success’ might mean and look like.

I highly recommend taking the leap and working with Roberta!

Not just a new job, a new relationship with work

These clients didn’t just change roles. They changed the way they think about their careers, their worth, and what they’re willing to settle for.

  • Before working with Roberta, I was unsure about my career direction. While I knew my previous job wasn’t the right fit, I didn’t know what path to pursue or how to figure that out. The amount of options was overwhelming, and I struggled with a lack of confidence due to my experiences at that job.

    Through our work together, I gained clarity on my strengths and how to leverage them to find the ideal work environment for me. I also identified the industries I’m passionate about and realized that the right environment matters more to me than the role itself. Most importantly, I discovered my interest in transitioning to the product space.

    Thanks to Roberta, I now have a renewed sense of confidence in my abilities. I understand that working in a setting that aligns with my strengths will allow me to thrive. I also have much more clarity about my career path and the steps I need to take to achieve my goals. I truly appreciate all of Roberta’s support, she has helped me so much throughout my journey and I couldn’t have achieved this progress without her.

  • Before working with Roberta, I struggled with the feeling that something was 'off' in my career but couldn't pinpoint what needed to change.

    I was able to identify my strengths and the thing that give me joy and energy at work. I’ve already applied it immediately to my job search! My time with Roberta helped me connect all the dots and make sense of important things that were up in the air so I could move forward and make confident decisions - AND THATS HUGE!

    I just landed my dream job and even negotiated a 20% salary increase.

    -Tiago Moresco

  • Before working with Roberta, I struggled with confidence around my skills and ability to transition to a different career. She was great at challenging my doubts and providing feedback for how I can approach my career change with confidence.

    After working with Roberta, I feel more confident in my abilities, have clarity on the importance of building relationships in order to explore different careers of interest and understand a new approach for how to tailor CVs and cover letters for each role I am applying for. 

    I was very happy with the work Roberta and I did together and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for support regarding a change in careers.
    - Julia Lehnbeuter

  • I reached out to Roberta shortly after going through a layoff earlier this year. I decided to work with Roberta because she had first hand experience with the field that I was in. I worked with 2 career coaches before and Roberta definitely takes a more holistic approach which I now prefer.

    In our work together, I was able to reflect on why previous workplaces weren’t good fits. By identifying my core values, I was able to get more intentional about my search and see what companies matched my needs rather than coming from a place of desperation during my search. I got to the final stages in a number of interviews and ended up starting my new role last month!
    - Audra Congress

  • Before working with Roberta, I didn't have a framework for assessing job fit. I discovered how to look to my strengths and values to guide assessments of workplaces moving forward. I also learned how to reframe self sabotage and embrace how it once helped but no longer serves me.

    After working with Roberta, I feel more equipped and confident in making important decisions. I'm starting to flip the script in molding my career to suit my needs rather than what the market or employers will bear.
    - Chris Tang

  • I knew I wanted to become a better leader without having to change who I am to fit in. I chose to work with Roberta because, given her experience and professional background as a leader in tech and the fact that a good listener; I knew she would understand my context and career path well.

    And I'm so thankful because I have changed my approach to leadership and my rush to demonstrate what I'm capable of.  I have gotten better at thinking long-term, and empathizing with both my peers and reports and understanding that meaningful change is thoughtful and it takes time.
    - Grace Ascuasiati

Roberta guided me to have conversations with people at work that in the past I would have never felt comfortable having. She helped me to focus on what is that I want from that conversation and what mindset I should have heading into the conversations.

I really enjoyed her recommendations for key books, assessments, guiding questions to understand my values more deeply and other tools. One of my favorite exercises was doing a meditation with her, visualizing myself in the future. That has helped me stay focus on what it is that I want for my life.
