I liked how easy it was to have a conversation that led to productive discoveries. When I explored other options, I felt it was difficult to get into a ‘flow’ of conversation, and that the questions they asked felt forced. When I had sessions with you, it felt natural, relaxed, and inevitably led to productive insights into my career.

In a similar vein, you were very good at creating a very easy going atmosphere, which made it easier to open up and tackle hard questions.

Thea helped me gain awareness of blockages I did not even consciously realize I was coming up against, as well as practical ways around them. What was so awesome about our conversation was that most of it was her listening to my perspective and connecting the dots through listening for patterns and variation in how I spoke about myself and my current situation. All of the insights we uncovered were already there but Thea helped me reveal them to myself with her careful guidance down pathways in my mind that I hadn’t been able to find on my own. I also really appreciated how she ended our conversation with long and short term goals that she held me accountable to – as procrastination is certainly one of my blocks!”

The Inventory’s career coaching process allowed me to refocus on a larger vision and articulate my positioning in a way that cut through the clutter. The process felt comfortable, cathartic, enlightening and ultimately allowed me to land in a direction that was backed by strong industry knowledge and data.
