After struggling to find answers to justify career choices, I started working with Sam. Thanks to her attentive listening skills, I heard through my noise and began to listen to myself — not an easy task. This is a discovery and in my opinion, is a worthwhile process for clarity. The insights earned have enabled me to make intentional choices that align with my creative vision, even if that means staying the course.

Sam's career coaching has been incredibly helpful and insightful as I've been navigating the next chapter in my career. But most importantly, her expertise and genuine interest in helping her students really shines through. You become a part of a community, as well, where there's a real sense of a collective support system. I'd highly recommend YourCareerCompass for anyone wanting to either take the next step in their career or pivot into another profession.

I came to Sam for career coaching with a goal to put myself in a position to be prepared for a career pivot. After our Career Compass sessions, I can truly say Sam prepared me for my next step. With an approach of listening, understanding, and caring Sam positioned me to not only switch career lanes but be successful in finding a fulfilling job. I felt like Sam really cared about me and my journey! Words cannot explain how pleased I am with the process and Sam & Lori. I highly recommend Sam and Lori's career coaching services to anyone who is looking to make a career change.

Sam guidance is based on a deep understanding of how the creative industry works and precisely what it takes for people to get where they want to be. A lot of career advice today is little more than sugar-coated generalities. From personal experience, Sam and Lori have the goods.

Working with Sam during my career pivot is truly a game-changer. She’s incredibly personable and has a real talent for helping you dig deep to figure out what matters most in your next move. Her program not only helps you connect the dots between your skills and your goals but also creates amazing opportunities for networking and learning through carefully curated events and sessions. Thanks to her support, I feel more confident, clear, and excited about where I’m headed. I’m so grateful to have had her in my corner!

Thanks so much for organizing. The advice was insightful, and hearing more about applying amongst a large swath of other professionals was very helpful. Reviewing some LinkedIn profiles and getting recruiter insight was valuable.

I had the privilege of working with Sam during a pivotal moment in my career, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Sam’s approach to career coaching is not only thoughtful but incredibly effective. Together, we focused on identifying my core values and how to align them with my career goals. This deep self-reflection process helped me gain clarity on what truly mattered to me in my professional life, and Sam’s ability to ask the right questions and pull insights out of me was invaluable. Beyond just helping me define my direction, Sam also provided actionable strategies to bridge the gap between my values and my next career steps. What I appreciated most was how Sam made the experience feel personal—guiding me to connect the dots and empowering me to make decisions that were in line with who I am and what I want to achieve. If you’re feeling uncertain about your career or at a crossroads, I highly recommend working with Sam. Her insight, support, and ability to help you uncover what truly drives you will make a world of difference.

My experience could not have been more positive. I recently connected regarding a potential position, and I cannot put into words the vast difference I saw from other Coaches I had spoken with. They did not simply read me the same job description that was on a posting and check the boxes on talking points. She listened to my background and my goals. She took into account my values and priorities, and even when my resume didn't exactly fit the intended role, her instincts told her that I was right for one. I am now happily a part of that company. I am so appreciative after the nightmare of 2020 to not just have found a job, but the right job with the right people. Thank you!

I just want to thank you and Sam for Monday's Q&A session, in particular the advice regarding my question on pivoting and leveraging limited post-graduation work experience. I'll be sure to keep expanding my network to learn more about what I'm interested in as I look toward the future.
