“I have been a client of Darleen’s for two years and her coaching is awesome! She takes the time to really listen to what is being said and what is NOT being said.

Lynnette Embree

“I am writing this message as a recommendation for Darleen Ghirardi. Darleen has been my coach for approximately two years now. She gives a lot of career and personal insight into exploring goals, looking towards strategy, and planning to lead one where they need to go. Darleen has guided me through a very rough period recently where I made a career change, and it did not work out whatsoever.

Darleen has been a wonderful career coach and recently, I received two job offers at one time. I was offered a significant pay decrease for one position and a slight decrease for another. I still take in mentally the story she shared with me about career challenges and setbacks and I happily took a new opportunity. Well, in a short period of time accepting and starting a new role, I was asked by executive management to apply for a promotional opportunity and happily, I have done so to at a minimum, gain exposure to the executive team. I firmly, believe that we the guidance coaching, understanding strategic intent, planning, and giving me as a client the opportunity to define, and make goals with Darleen’s work, I will not only move it forward but go faster than anticipated.

In closing, this recommendation is to vehemently recommend the services of Darleen Ghirardi as a Coach and Mentor. She does awesome work and in addition, her resume writing, will help and assist in attaining a new position and moving ahead in your career and personal goals. Anyone that procures her services, will not be disappointed.”

“Darleen is a consummate professional who goes above and beyond for her clients. She is innovative, organized as well as helpful and is always available for questions or concerns. Within 6 weeks of working with her, I just landed a new gig with a Fortune 6 company in a field that I have been trying to get back into for years! She knows her stuff due to her extensive experience in corporate America, and I was lucky to work with her. I highly recommend working with her. Thank you so much, Darleen!”

Lou Ligabo

“Darleen has been an invaluable resource for me as I was looking to make not only a career change but an industry change. She listened to me, guided me, and helped mentor me. Her help with my resume, LinkedIn profile, and cover letter was amazing. I truly believe that these set me apart from other candidates. She completed all of these in a timely manner. Her biggest asset is that she genuinely wants to help others find their dream jobs!!! I will continue to use Darleen as a mentor, friend, and resource throughout my career. Thank you, Darleen!!!!”

Matthew Elson

“In preparation for a cross country move and needing a new career, I reached out through LinkedIn for a resume writer/coach, and Darleen was just one of several that contacted me. Her response was immediately positive and energetic, which was why I did not hesitate to work with her. I had not used a service like this before and was not entirely sure what was involved. I am very impressed with how she approached the entire process with me. She conducts herself with a caring, friendly attitude and is extremely knowledgeable in her duties. I would not hesitate to use her services again, and she is my first choice recommendation for anyone needing help.”

Darin Harris

“Working with Darleen to refresh and update my approach to marketing my own talent, skills and experience was an outstanding experience. I use it with prospective clients as part of my sales process and can use it with future employers if ever needed. From the initial contact, through the process of drafting the refresh of my resume, to her coaching and brainstorming with me on how to best present myself in certain situations – Darleen is a pro. Her executive experience, unique perspective on approaching how to market yourself, and pragmatic advice for taking actionable next steps set Darleen apart from “resume writers” you may run across. Whether you need a resume refresh, a perspective on testing your marketability for “the next job” in your career, or advice on how to present yourself as a mid-career and executive – Darleen is your choice!”
