Testimonials:

“It would likely be helpful regardless of where you are on your career path. It’s a wonderful way to reflect and create action steps for yourself, whether you are trying to change careers or not (though of course perhaps more useful if you are looking to change careers!). I would recommend it to friends across industries as well, particularly anyone who feels caught in the grind of work they do not find fulfilling.” – Emma (gained a job in CSR)
