Testimonials
I worked with Wendy in 2021, and I highly recommend her. She helped me through several transition phases and challenges in my career: returning to the paid workforce after taking some time to be a stay-at-home parent, deciding between two offers, and moving from a role in management to an individual contributor. Wendy helped me decide what I was looking for in a new role while navigating these challenges. As someone who has been working in tech for over 15 years, I found it difficult to talk about my experience and expertise concisely. I needed to develop a brand and clear vision of what I wanted not only in my next role but also in my career. Wendy and I worked on career road mapping. She asked insightful questions and listened to my feedback, and together we developed a story and a roadmap. She also helped me refine my resume and navigate multiple interviews with advice tailored to each role. I plan to work with Wendy again when it's time for a career transition!

Wendy did a fantastic job offering me crucial and timely career advisement when I was mid-career and at a pivotal moment deciding what I wanted to do next. She helped me evolve my narrative in ways that enabled me to better blend my prior deep technical hardware experience and leadership with my software development and skills in a new technical concentration. This resulted in me finding and accepting leadership roles that were much more suited to my strengths and helped my career rise in ways I wouldn’t have had otherwise. I am forever grateful for Wendy's thoughtful leadership insights and encouragement, and continue to share this experience with folks I mentor so they learn how to combine their strengths with areas they love and new learnings to make a difference in the world!

"A few months after returning from maternity leave, I found myself at a career crossroads. I was in the process of interviewing at a new company and felt overwhelmed by everything. Enter Wendy. She helped me prioritize my career goals and navigate my decision to leave my current role. She also coached me through my job negotiation with the new company, and gave me advice on how to ask for flexibility in my schedule as a working parent. I came away from our coaching sessions with more clarity and confidence. I highly recommend working with Wendy -- she is incredibly insightful and gives really tactical advice. Ultimately, she taught me how to advocate for myself, which has been so valuable!"
- Hannah Levy, Founder + Editor, The Rebis
"I worked with Wendy during the pivotal early months of my career transition; her support was invaluable in that time. I began my career pivot confident that I brought valuable skills from my previous career, but at times found it difficult a pitch to land in an industry trained to prize more traditional credentials. Wendy kept me on track; she helped structure my story and my search, both through meetup workshops and one on one meetings."
- Kristen Borges, Software Engineer
