GBGetting Intentional After spending 2 decades in and out of difficult and toxic work environments, I needed to get serious about making better decisions and finding more meaningful work for the next 2 decades of my career. I knew I needed guidance because I had not been intentional about what I really wanted to do or getting clear about what that looked like. I came across the Happen to Your Career Podcast in my search for a career coach and loved their "whole life" approach to coaching. Because work is such an enormous part of our lives, it is important that it is as meaningful and purposeful as our family and downtime. I went in knowing I not only needed to leave my current job, but leave the entire city I was living in. Working with my HTYC career coach, Ang made clear that I was living outside of my values in nearly every area of my life and that I could absolutely do something about it! Since then I have been on a journey to intentionally design my life and continue to get clear on my vision. I have moved to a fabulous new city, halfway across the country and have an extremely fulfilling new job with the collaborative and creative team I longed for. Every morning I wake up knowing that I am living my values in every area of life and I could not have gotten here without the guidance of the HTYC team.

GBHTYC was just what I was looking for I got what I asked for working with HTYC! In the beginning, I was not sure if I was looking for a therapist or a career coach. Scott & the HTYC Team made the right recommendation to pair me with Liz. She is knowledgeable, communicative, inquisitive, compassionate and knows when to push me and how much. ;) By working together, I have gained tremendous personal growth and improved my perspectives on my career. I may have wrapping up my coaching but this is not the end of my pursuit of career happiness, whether at my current work place or somewhere else. Regardless, I am now better equipped to pursue when the right opportunity comes along. Thanks again to Liz & HTYC!!

CASo glad I contacted HTYC when I did So glad I contacted HTYC when I did. Phillip helped me out of one of the hardest periods of my life - I was struggling with burnout from a previous job and needed a new position, but one that wouldn’t leave me in the same position as I had been in. That’s a tricky situation to be in as I needed to do some self- and job- exploration, but was also under a time constraint to get a new job. Phillip helped to keep me motivated, encouraged, on-track and was empathetic and understanding of the struggles I was going through. Without his guidance and valuable job-search techniques, I wouldn’t have landed the job I’m in today. It’s VERY well suited to me, and I even received $8,000 more than my target salary (which was also $7,000 higher than my previous salary). It’s been 1 year in my new position and I’m happier than ever. Thank you Phillip!

GBOutstanding program to partner with on my transition journey After spending almost two decades in one industry and at one company, I was successful and “comfortable” but felt that it was time to make a change and look for new challenges. I was an avid listener of the HYTC podcast and after about a year, I finally reached out to the HTYC team to start my career transition. What I really enjoyed about the HTYC experience is the holistic view of the career transition and looking at the transition as both a personal and professional change. I started the career change journey with “an ideal” industry in mind but still had doubts about if I was going to be able to make that transition. The structured modules and exercises were helpful in giving me a systematic way to approach each step of the change. The career change can be a long process and what worked for me is going through each of the modules and going step-by-step. It was especially helpful for me to organize my time and goals. The HTYC team is incredible, and they really are on this journey with you---from onboarding to my sessions with my coach to continued communication throughout the process. The onboarding process gives you an opportunity to express what you’re looking for, and you are given coach recommendations that best align with you and your goals. My coach kept me motivated, helped me fine-tune my messaging, and provided candid feedback and encouragement. She challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone while being my authentic self. I’m happy to report that I ended up transitioning into the exact industry that I was hoping to join from the beginning, and joined a company that I am very excited about. The skills and tools that we worked on are ones that I will bring to my next role and apply to my career going forward.
