"I started working with Robin because I was bored and frustrated with my current work situation.  I knew that I wanted to be self-employed (again), had ideas for new companies, but was “stuck” and was not making any forward progress. After initially talking with me about my goals and gaining an understanding where I was in my current situation, Robin created a customized coaching plan for me that helped me better understand my unique strengths.  The set of assessments she administered gave me insight into what I do best, how I can leverage my strengths and identified in what situations I should reach out and ask for help from others.  This combined with her ability to recognize and gently challenge self-limiting ideas, quickly put me on the path to forward progress. The coaching is making a difference in my life as I am no longer "stuck". I also very much enjoyed Robin as an individual." - LV (Catalyst Jump Start Your Business! Coaching Package)

"I have consulted with Robin on several occasions for help with specific problems as well as more general matters associated with managing my company.  Her insight, experience and feedback have enabled me to approach issues and solve problems more efficiently and effectively.  Catalyst Career Consulting has proven to be a valuable tool in running a successful small business." - Christine Sheldon, Interior Designer and Allied Member ASID (Small Business Coaching)

"I loved this process and I look forward to changes I will be making in my career.  I felt like the process started when I was in an unhappy place and ended in a very satisfying and happy place.  Robin does a great job bringing the best out in you. She was enjoyable to talk to and through the process, I got to voice much of what might have been in the back of my mind and I had not been able to articulate before." - Marisa Hodges

"I really enjoyed my Catalyst Career Assessment Package, especially the one-on-one discussions, all of the written materials, including the assessments and surveys, the coaching overview, job goal research process and Authentic Vocation™ Report.  The entire process was very rewarding and eye opening--a real affirmation and a real surprise rolled into one!" - Tonia G.

"After years of being a stay-at-home mom, I didn't know how to re-enter the job market.  With her years of experience in Human Resources, Robin was able to totally revamp my resume. She transformed the years I spent volunteering on various school and community committees into highly marketable, professional skills.  We ran through several mock interviews as she posed difficult questions to me that might be asked, and my comfort and confidence levels soared during my actual interviews.  Within weeks I attained several job interviews with top companies and received multiple job offerings within two months.  I am now happily employed in a new career with competitive pay and good opportunities for advancement."  - Rita Griffin Deiz

"I was unsure of how to go about my job search.  Robin re-wrote my resume and worked with me on interviewing skills.  She encouraged me not to give up when my job search seemed to take longer than I thought it should.  After I received my first offer, another one followed soon afterwards.  They were in different industries, and I was unsure about negotiating boundaries.  She helped me to work through the process and make the best choice for me and my family.  Thank you, Robin, for your compassionate help and excellent career guidance!" - Laurel R.

"After my mock interview session with Robin, I went into my subsequent “real” interview much more prepared and empowered than I ever would have been otherwise. I feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon Robin in my search for a job coach.  She is obviously smart and knows her field, but more importantly, she is kind.  She is forthcoming, generous, and specific with her advice and guidance.  Her style is delicate yet effective." - A.D

"Robin is a good speaker who is very informative and who develops a rapport with her audience. I thought she was the highlight of the job faire, and she understands what we are going through." - Deborah Parker

"I was fortunate enough to hear Robin speak about Catalyst 360˚ Marketing recently and was really struck by how it hit the target for me." - Caren Weinstein, Cmail (www.thewritenote.com)

"Robin provided expert advice and suggestions that resulted in a resume that was professional, concise and very effective.  She was also consistently responsive and available.  I would not hesitate in recommending her to my colleagues and friends." - Ed K., Healthcare Executive

"Thank you, Robin for your consulting help in getting a medical assistant for my clinic. Your step-by-step guide in interviewing applicants saved us time in finding the most qualified applicant. We were able to find the right person, and we are all very happy!" - Marie Agleham, MD

"Robin helped me through a very sticky situation I was facing at work that involved another employee.  After talking through the possible ways I could handle the situation, I did what I thought was best under the circumstances.  I was afraid of the results, but things turned out even better than I expected.  I felt so much better having someone I could talk to before taking action.  Robin is like having an H.R. person all to yourself that you can trust." - (Name Withheld by Request)
