Through Kori’s coaching, I finally took control and rewarded myself with some needed time off to explore my passions. During that time, I earned licenses and accreditations in fields unrelated to my career. If you read the materials, take the workshops, talk things through with Kori, and be open with yourself, you will get the results.

Going into the program, I had already submitted my resignation after seven years in diplomacy. I had plateaued. So the decision to join wasn’t about re-adjusting my career; instead, it was about reinventing my career. Of course, I was worried about the money invested and afraid I wouldn’t get any results and resort to seeking out any job to continue earning a living. But, knowing Kori’s professional background and the freedom she demonstrated, having changed careers so many times, reassured me. I knew I could learn more from professional guidance. The most eye-opening part of the exploration process was identifying my values. Before, I couldn't pinpoint why I felt disinterested in a highly regarded job. Knowing my values, I could finally connect the dots. I now have a revised resume with strategies for writing and updating it. I have increased confidence in following through with my passions and plans. I have formally applied for one job and researched other potential prospects. I put a negative professional experience to rest through Kori's kind and thoughtful coaching style. It does not affect me anymore. Anyone thinking of joining the program, I would advise them to be open-minded, be honest with Kori, complete the modules, and be prepared to work on them with her.

Kori produced a meaningful creative virtual team-building workshop for my team of 10. We loved the "Wild Dreaming: Finding The Heart Of Your Why" themed workshop and felt our whole school should do it! We’ve never done anything like this before, and it's important to ground ourselves in our work and inspire our growth. I feel so optimistic about this team, and Kori's workshop has launched us into the new school year with a lot of hope and intention.

For six years, I tried my hardest to get out of my job in reality television. The job was stressful, the team lacked boundaries, and I was working 24-7. I wanted to leave and figure out how to do that without burning bridges. I just wanted to move into a work environment where I felt more comfortable, which would give me a little work-life balance because, up until that point, I'd never had that. The process made me think about my life as a whole and not just a nine-to-five situation. As a result, I got a new job at CMT that I enjoy! My boss is awesome. I have a lot of respect for her, and she has respect for me. In addition, I can do my on-camera hosting work, so I've brought all of those things into my life together. If you are considering joining the program, you just have to jump off and do it. I kept procrastinating out of fear. It's hard to let go, but once you do, you must trust yourself and your skills. Once you’ve established what you’re good at and have the clarity on what you want, it’s easier to leave a position and start to look for new paths and put yourself out there, and opportunities will eventually fall into your lap.
