“I had my interviews today. Yay! They are finally over. I felt pretty good about the first panel. I do think my passion for patients came out. So hopefully over all, it was positive!!!

I wanted to thank you for all the time, energy and advice you gave me over the last few weeks. I really enjoyed working with you. You made me feel so comfortable! You are extremely talented.

I will miss not chatting with you weekly. I will keep you posted when I hear something.”

“I hope you remember me as you and I worked together so that I could prepare for my interviews.

Anyhow ... the reason for my message is to let you know I got the position you prepared me for. If not for our precious work together I likely would not have had the composure to have 2 successful interviews. I started April 1st in the Product Development IT team as a Product Manager! It has been good, and very challenging, which is exactly what I wanted. “

“Thank you very much for a wonderful workshop! Moms in Transition was just what I needed to help me organize and identify next steps for myself! I have a much clearer, confident awareness and understanding of my personality, skills, strengths and values. I really appreciated the ‘end piece’ today. It felt like such a lovely gift to receive everyone’s positive thoughts, suggestions and support. But of course, I especially valued what you had to say. I only wish I had written it down so I could come back to it again when I’m ready to take the plunge!

I’m sure many have told you and have affirmed for you that this really is your ‘jam’ as you’ve said! I loved your enthusiasm and warmth throughout the course! I will highly recommend it to any of my mom friends in transition! “

PATRICIA

“I've been meaning to write you for a while and was not able to until now. I want to thank you for a fabulous workshop, for all your wisdom and kindness. I did learn a lot about myself and was relieved to understand why I struggled so much with parts of my profession! I still have lots of work to do but I have so much more clarity now. Thank you again, I am so very grateful.”

“Linda Lesem, Career Counselor and Life Coach, is warm, insightful and encouraging. After reading her bio, I knew she would be the perfect match. She created the moms in transition workshop and she comes from a counseling background. As a fulltime mom for over 10 years re-entering the paid workforce, I was seeking personal fulfillment and purpose in my work. Just the few sessions we had gave me enough guidance, direction and courage to start a new career path. In addition, the resume workshop Linda conducted was very helpful. After a year of study, hard work and focus, I now have the job of my dreams. I wholeheartedly recommend Linda for her excellent career counseling and support.”

LIZ M.

“I just wanted to check in with you and let you know that FINALLY, after being partially unemployed for nearly nine months, I've got a full-time position that I'm proud of, and is in exactly what we'd been angling me for—communications! I am thrilled, it is a very exciting and a challenging position.

The time I spent brainstorming and strategizing with you has been invaluable. And I wanted you to know that I always think back to the words of wisdom that you passed down to me, about working on the excitement and energy surrounding this transition--I focused on that, and without doing it, I'm sure I wouldn't be where I am now.

I've also been singing your praises and try to get others in my network who are going through rough times in the job market to consider speaking with you. I hope you are doing well! And once again, thanks again for all your help, I couldn't have gotten here without you!”

AMITY B.

“Thank you...so very much for all your support!! Your coaching was instrumental in keeping me motivated and positive through this long and drawn-out process. However, this is only the beginning, I must now make the job work for me, so that I can be successful...and that is okay!

Your absolutely right, it is the best job... and as an added bonus, my new supervisor is wonderful! She seems truly kind, caring and appreciative of the qualities I have to offer...and you helped me believe it was possible!”

J.B.

“First of all, I am loving your class, and the process of figuring out what my 'type' is and using that as a lens to look at what I've done in the past and what I hope to be able to do. You DO seem to have found your perfect calling!”

MARIA B.

“I wanted to let you know that I am heading off to MIT's Department of Urban Studies and Planning in the fall, with a concentration in Environmental Policy and Planning! I just reread the visualization that you had me write, and it is amazing to me how consistent that has stayed through all of my applications and articulations of what it is that I want to do.

Thanks so much for your help at a key moment. I needed help getting untangled, while still keeping ahold of my big vision. I really appreciate your generosity of time and spirit in offering support. I hope that all is well with you, and wish you the best in all that you do!”

CAROLINE

“Linda is a very talented and personable career coach. She has a great way of bringing out what YOU want in a job. I have seen her as a private client and she also runs a workshop called "Moms in Transition", which helps to assess your talents and aspirations within a group setting. Everyone learns from each other’s journey. Linda makes you feel comfortable in expressing your hopes and fears, then help you work through them. And she makes the whole process fun! I would absolutely recommend Linda either privately or in this workshop who finds they are in a "mid-life career crisis"!”

MARY C.

“Well…. I just had my first interview! They called me when they heard I was leaving my firm. It went really well! They pretty much offered me the job. It's a local small firm that does estate planning, family law. All the attorneys have families and lives and take vacations. I Just wanted to update you. You are the reason I am here! Can I be a guest when you do your first talk show???”

SUZANNE

“I just completed Linda Lesem's Moms in Transition workshop and it was the perfect way to begin my reentry into the paid workforce. I now have a wealth of useful information and tangible tools at my disposal. Not only can I launch my job search, but I am confident I will create the career path of my dreams. Thank you, Linda, for helping me tap into my gifts and my own inspiration. Working with you has been an invaluable experience.”

MARILYN E.

“Linda has been absolutely integral during a time of big transition in my life. I met with a bunch of career counselors prior to Linda, and I found Linda's wholesome perspective to be unique and hugely helpful. On top of the many "aha" moments I've had talking with Linda, she is also very kind and patient.. it is clear that she cares a ton about her clients. I would recommend Linda to anyone who is feeling stuck in any area of their life.”

LYNDSAY E.

“Linda is on my daily gratitude list. Really. I attended one of her career workshops, which was very helpful and educational. In just that one event I learned many things about myself. I continued to meet with her on an individual basis. She was pivotal in helping me to think of ways, as well as find the courage to turn what I love most into a successful business. As my business has continued to grow and succeed over the years, Linda has been just as excited as I am about the whole thing.

Linda is very intuitive, caring, highly intelligent, enthusiastic and motivating, as well as an excellent listener. Those characteristics are just a part of what makes her an exceptional career and life coach. She helped point me in the right direction, and still encourages me every step of the way. Priceless.”
