Testimonials
Take a look at what some of my previous clients have to say!
“If you have reservations about getting a career coach please consider reading this! I needed a lot of help figuring out how to make a big career change after spending 5 years in consulting. I'd struggled to find good answers across many books / internet research, but it wasn't until I got Derek involved that I started actually moving the needle.
All it took was one call with him to realize that Derek could help me navigate the big hairy question "what do I want to do?"
He helped me work backwards to figure out what I don't want to do, what my strengths are, and how to get started in a meaningful way. Derek's own journey felt really relatable, so i knew I could trust the advice he gave because he's actually tested it on himself to get to where he's at. If you're struggling to make a change, trust me when I say he'll make the time he spends with you worth it.”

I was looking for new ways to accelerate my career progression, which was challenging as the tech industry is highly competitive. Having worked in multiple roles at some of the biggest tech & gaming companies, Derek was able to provide industry insights and personalized coaching which led to new opportunities for me - 5/5 fistbumps!

“I’ve been struggling to figure out what kind of career or industry I want to pursue so having the meeting really helped to point me in the right direction and know what steps I need to take in order to figure it out. This means a lot because it meant that I was still getting help and guidance even after my meeting was over.”

“Derek was super helpful in helping me bounce ideas and possibilities for my career. I liked that he was able to effectively help me pull out the pros and cons of each option, as well as provide his own opinion and viewpoint towards my debate about career paths. [It was] such a unique and personalized experience and overall had a fantastic experience.”
“I met with Derek and he was really helpful and insightful in answering all the questions I had. He shared his own experiences in the field that I want to go into and gave me tips on how to land a job that I want. Basically, all the questions I went in there with were answered and then some.”
