I contacted Todd last year when I was struggling with some major career decisions, looking to make a calculated next step. Todd and his team were extremely detail oriented and helpful, supplying an extensive array of materials through an organized platform. The Birkman test results were very detailed and extremely informative; they were easily applicable to both my personal and professional life. The results of these sessions were immediately applicable to my current role and gave me a much clearer view of what my next steps should look like. I would highly recommend Career Upside to anyone looking to better their career or gain insight into their habits both professional and personal.

I can't thank Career Upside enough for helping me navigate a major career transition! Coming from a family business, I was unsure about my strengths and how to position myself for a new role working with animals at a shelter. Their Career Coaching team in Atlanta guided me through the Birkman assessment, which gave me incredible insights into my natural strengths, needs, and ideal work environment​. This self-awareness was a game changer in boosting my confidence! Beyond that, Career Upside helped me craft a tailored resume that highlighted my transferable skills and passion for animal welfare. They also provided excellent networking strategies that helped me connect with leadership where I volunteer.
Thanks to their guidance, I now feel equipped to grow in this field and work toward a meaningful career helping animals. If you're considering a career shift but feeling uncertain, I highly recommend Career Upside. Their expertise and personalized approach make all the difference!

My wife and I came to Todd to get some career coaching and direction for our son. He is a rising senior in high school and he was struggling with where to go to college and what to focus on as a major of study. My wife and I wanted our son to work with Todd to verify that the pathway he wanted (Engineering) was a good fit for his personality. Obviously, an engineering school can be a large investment and we wanted to maximize the use of our college savings to get the most bang for the buck to do what we could do to ensure that he would not change majors mid-stream in college. The Birkman Assessment with Todd was extremely helpful. It validated that he was on the right pathway for a career. It also gave us some insights into personality that we were aware of but could not really put into words. Todd also gave us a “coaching report” to help my wife and I transition from being parents to being parent/coaches over time. We now have a better understand of how to coach him to help him be the best version of himself. I highly recommend Todd as a Career Coach for high school students looking for career direction.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Todd McCarty on the Birkman Method Assessment through my employer. It really helped me understand myself at a deeper level, especially my motivational needs. I believe the Birkman assessment is a great resource for people that are looking to learn more about themselves so they can be more successful in their career as well as life in general. The comparative reports can help co-workers that are in conflict use a non-judgmental language to resolve their differences. In addition, I think it can really help a manager/leader better understand their employees in order to communicate with them more effectively as well as really know what motivates them.

I highly recommend Career Upside and Todd as a Career Coach and Counselor to help employees and teams be the best version of themselves.

I had an exceptional experience with Career Upside! As someone seeking a career transition, I wanted to better understand my professional needs and highlight my strengths. The team introduced me to the Birkman Method, which was a game-changer. Through this comprehensive assessment, I gained clarity on my work preferences, strengths, and ideal environments.

Career Upside didn't stop there—they leveraged the insights from my Birkman report to craft a resume that authentically showcased my unique strengths and potential. I think the new resume looks and sounds 10x more professional than the versions I had before. The process was seamless, insightful, and incredibly empowering. Thanks to their support, I feel confident and equipped to take the next steps in my career. Highly recommend their services to anyone navigating career transitions!

Signed my son up because he needs direction to find a career opportunity and now he knows his strengths and weaknesses and narrowed down the jobs that will be a good fit for him. Todd has spent a lot of time with him to coach him through the process and is always there to support and answer any questions and has assisted him with his resume to make it stand out for the hiring managers and also helps him alter it for each unique job. Todd also has provided leads for my son from his extensive network of people he connects with on a daily basis. I truly believe in the service that is offered and highly recommend it for anyone that needs to find a career path and learn about themselves… thanks Todd for all you do for my son, means the world to me!!!

Todd was excellent to work. We were not very familiar with the Birkman test so his explanations of what we should expect, the process and how he reviewed and explained the results were crucial and he exceeded our expectations. This test was so specific and dug deep into our son’s strengths and weaknesses on every level it changed the way we and our son viewed where he was at and his potential. Most important test one could take.
