"I really appreciated the time Karen took to go over the Companion Guide exercises after I completed the online program independently. She helped me gain perspective on my career in general instead of just focusing on my job. At the same time, she was able to help talk me through solutions for some idiosyncrasies that come with the nature of my role. She helped me nail down my Billboard Statement in Module 5 to succinctly articulate what I like, what I've accomplished, and what I want to do in the future."
— Holly Colburn Human Resource Generalist Archadeck of Nova Scotia & Case Design/Remodeling
