Before working with Kori, I felt stuck at a crossroads—unsure whether to go back to my old career path, pivot into a new career, revamp my business, or find a hybrid approach that aligned with my passions while providing financial stability. I had so many ideas but struggled to see the clearest path forward.

From the very first session, Kori helped me cut through the noise and gain clarity on what I truly wanted. She asked the right questions, challenged my assumptions (and doubts), and provided structure where I needed it most. The most impactful part of our work together was her ability to blend strategic career coaching with deep personal reflection. It wasn’t just about the next job—it was about designing a career (and life) that aligns with my values, strengths, and goals.

One of the biggest tangible wins was gaining confidence in my direction. Through Kori’s guidance, I refined my "why", restructured my resume, and developed a plan that allows me to integrate my corporate expertise with my passion for wellness in a way that makes sense both professionally and financially.

What surprised me most was how energizing the process was. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I left each session feeling more empowered and excited about the possibilities ahead. Kori’s approach is equal parts practical and inspiring—a rare combination that makes a real difference.

If you’re at a career crossroads and need a thoughtful, strategic, and supportive guide to help you gain clarity and take action, I can’t recommend Kori enough. She helped me see that I don’t have to choose between passion and financial stability—I can build a career that honors both.

Kori is a true professional - attentive, insightful, and incredibly powerful with words. She has a gift for helping you navigate whatever challenges you may be facing. Before reaching out to Kori, I felt lost and couldn’t see a clear direction for myself.

Since working with her, I’ve experienced tangible results: a noticeable boost in confidence, greater clarity in telling my story, landing a job in a competitive market within my field of choice, and a clearer vision for my next steps in life.

Kori and I explored both practical and spiritual work, and one of the most transformative parts of our time together was learning how to quiet my inner critic—that voice that says you’re not good enough or unworthy of growth.

Working with Kori isn’t a passive experience. You have to put in the work. Between the workshops, reflective “homework,” and building out a personalized worksheet that becomes a guide throughout the program, the results are well worth the effort. Showing up for both the group and personal sessions with intention and openness is the key to unlocking the clarity and growth you're seeking.

For the last decade or more, I’ve been in a loop of feeling burned out by my job, stepping away, hoping for a flash of inspiration as to what to do next, not having that flash of inspiration, and then feeling forced to re-enter the same career.

I recently found myself at the beginning of one of these loops. I was tiring of the pattern and knew I needed some additional support. Working with a career coach seemed like the likely path forward.

It seems like everyone is a life coach or a career coach these days. I initially felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of coaches out there. I decided to winnow down a large list and then set up initial screening calls with each coach. Kori quickly emerged as the coach who genuinely cared, had the most experience with coaching, and had put together a well-defined program. Kori was able to answer all of my initial questions and help combat my inner skeptic. You see, I had become disillusioned by the other “coaches” I had spoken to.

Kori helped me get clear on what I’m seeking from my life as well as my career. She helped me identify short-term and long-term ways to begin putting my energy toward more life-fulfilling actions.

As a participant in her program she’ll guide you through her methodical approach of self-discovery and you’ll be part of a group that meets weekly to share wins and anything that might have you stuck. You’ll feel supported, inspired, seen, and valued, and you’ll connect with the clarity and courage to move toward your life’s purpose.

It’s important to understand that what you gain from this program is directly correlated to the effort you put in. You’ll have to be committed and do the work, but I assure you, you’ll be well rewarded.

Good luck with your journey!

A few years ago, I was confused about what I wanted next in my career and fearful of making a change. Through her program, Kori helped me assess my professional skills, motivators, fears, and goals and develop a strategy to land the position I wanted. She is warm and engaging and excels at helping clients navigate uncertainty and develop clarity. I recently landed a fantastic job with her guidance and support.

If you're feeling lost, Kori is for you. My only regret is that I didn't reach out to her sooner.

Kori's coaching was critical during the time when I was confirming what career pivot I wanted to make, and whether or not an MBA would support that path. I did an accelerated version of her program and still gained an enormous amount of materials that I reference from time to time when I need to share details about my strengths, weaknesses, goals, etc. This was very helpful during the MBA process because I already had done the work of collecting my wins and articulating my intentions. I now attend the #1 business school in the US (2024). Kori's coaching program was the accountability that I needed during this major soul searching process.

I am incredibly grateful to have found Kori as my career coach! After feeling burnt out from a decade-long career in a high-intensity field, I came across Kori at precisely the right moment to navigate a transformative shift.

Through Kori's guidance, I was able to rediscover my passions and hobbies, gain the confidence to take risks and explore what would truly make me happy and fulfilled not just in my career but in my life holistically.

Kori led a thoughtful and detailed process that included deep dives into my work style, personality, success stories, and skills, all while providing ample support both individually and in a group setting with others on similar paths. As someone who is already committed to self-discovery, I felt that this process went even deeper than I was expecting and I came away with a lot of new insight.

I now feel more creatively inspired than ever and have reaffirmed important boundaries in my work-life balance. Kori not only helped me find passions to pursue but also provided a roadmap for future business ideas, writing inspiration, and other creative outlets. Working with Kori was an investment in my future, not just my career, as she has truly changed how I think about my work and its role in defining me. If you're considering a change but unsure of the next step, I highly recommend reaching out to Kori for an introductory call!
