		"You keep people honest; they can't get away with fuzzy thinking." --Attorney I have been trying to determine a new career focus for the past 3 years. I have worked through numerous career transition books as well as consulted with another well known career counselor, and was still no closer to a definitive answer. Within just a few short sessions of working with you, I now have a clear direction! Your approach seems designed to whittle away the extraneous so that the overall patterns emerge.Your support, insight and ability to ask penetrating questions allowed me to gain the clarity that I had been searching for in all those other explorations. I just can't thank you enough for all your help. I am so excited to be embarking upon a new path!" --Professional in Massachusetts "You have a real talent, nee, a genuine gift, for bringing out a person's thoughts and then using that information to quickly get at the heart of the matter. After just two or three minutes with you, the floodgates of possible solutions as to what had been nagging at me for months, just opened. Not only do I have a great starting point to begin working on getting back to being my best self, it's almost like the issues were solved when I walked out your office door. In addition I felt a sense of relief. You made me believe and realize I can use my talents to their full potential. It may sound corny but it's true! Thanks again for helping me find the direction I have been needing." --Financial professional "As an absolute fan of Andrea's, I can rest assured anything that woman does will be the best and the finest!" --Graphic designer Starting my own business has been scary, and I wonder how I can be enjoying what is certainly a crazy, insecure venture, but I do love it. It's trite to say, "I couldn't have done it without you," but I honestly feel that way! --Scott New business owner "I made an investment in myself that is paying off in terms of improved skills, increased self-confidence and a high level of proactivity. Such profound personal growth has made me happier and 100 times more capable of coping with the significant personal transition I've undertaken. That attitude adjustment has made all the difference in what I've been able to accomplish since." --Marketing executive "Learning these essential life skills is the best hedge against the uncertainty in the job market today. I recommend this service to anyone to be ready to make a change if necessary." --Sales executive "You saved my life at a time when I was going through hell." --Senior executive "I attribute my success at finding a job that I am very well suited for to the work we did together?" --Therapist "Your facilitation skills are truly first-rate. My assessment of you on Day 1 was correct: you're the best." --Engineer "Thanks, Andrea, for being a ray of sunshine in my life. You made my future look brighter through your knowledge and kindness." --Nurse "Your help paid for itself because I got a 20% raise, so I highly recommend your services to everyone I know." --Information Technology Officer "I could never have figured out what I wanted to do and gone out to look for it without your help." -- Career changer "Through your support, I learned that although life has handed me lemons, I can be proactive and make lemonade. With your expert help in packaging me, I am highly marketable-a much stronger candidate than I thought I was." --Public relations executive ""You ask probing questions that helped me to uncover false assumptions and to separate what I think I want from what I actually want." --Technical writer
