CAREER COMPASS - Sausalito, California

Sally is an exceptional career coach, course designer, and instructor who has left an indelible mark on both her students and colleagues. Having had the privilege of closely observing Sally's work, I can confidently attest to her unwavering dedication, innovative teaching methods, and unparalleled ability to empower individuals to excel in their careers.

My first encounter with Sally's expertise was when I had the distinct pleasure of witnessing her in action as she designed and taught the Career Development course for UC Berkeley's international students. This course not only achieved remarkable success but also set a new standard for career development education. Sally's innovative approach to the course content, coupled with her dynamic teaching style, captivated students and instilled in them a profound sense of purpose and direction. Due to the success of the course, Sally was invited to train me to teach a similar one in a sister program. Sally is a generous leader and a collaborator to her core. She is a rare individual.

Sally possesses a rare gift for elucidating complex concepts to a diverse student body with remarkable ease. Her ability to connect with individuals from various cultural backgrounds is truly commendable, fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student feels valued and understood. Sally's inspirational presence in the classroom is infectious, and her coaching sessions consistently resonate with students long after they have left her courses.
One of the most remarkable qualities that sets Sally apart is her genuine passion for assisting young professionals in achieving their aspirations. It is abundantly clear that this is not just a job for her but a true calling. Her commitment to guiding students on their career journeys is unwavering, and she invests generous amounts of her time and energy in their success.

I had the pleasure of observing her lead a LinkedIn session for my students, where her proficiency in program execution and student engagement was palpable. Even in the face of unexpected technical challenges, Sally remained composed, demonstrating her remarkable troubleshooting skills with a touch of humor that put everyone at ease.

The caliber of information and guidance that Sally imparts is invaluable! It empowers bright and ambitious students to realize their full potential and achieve their goals. Her contributions to the professional development of students extend far beyond the classroom, leaving a lasting impact on their lives and careers. I personally have grown as an instructor and coach because of her innovation and leadership.

Sally knows that one size doesn’t fit all and truly focuses on understanding you in order to get you to where you want to be. Sally took the time to meet me, to understand my background and my capabilities in order to guide me better. From the first meeting with her not only did I feel like my path was more clear but I also felt more confident about having something to offer. Throughout the entire process Sally became more than a guide, she was an ally and made me feel that I wasn’t alone on the difficult journey that job searching can be. With her help, I was able to land a position doing exactly the kind of work I wanted with a great company.

After graduating from San Diego State I thought I would be able to find a job very quickly. Turns out, job search is a lot more extensive than I thought. Luckily, I had Sally to guide me every step along the way. She demonstrated the importance of making connections, and learning from others within my industry. Not only did she give me practical advice, but she also kept me motivated and organized which made the process much easier. Happy to say I landed a dream role aligned with my major and am now working with a wonderful team of event specialists for Maritz Global Events putting on all of Google’s San Francisco campus events.

I worked with Sally in an effort to “rebrand” myself. As we grow so does our need to move where the currents of our personal and professional life take us. Sally generously helped me showcase my strengths via my resume as well as my LinkedIn profile in an effort to increase my exposure to a variety of different industries where I would be a great fit. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Sally and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to advance to that next step in their professional career

I cannot thank Sally enough for helping me land the job of my dream. Before connecting with her, I was getting interviews for jobs, but after the initial interview I was always ghosted and never made any real progress in my job search.

Sally answered all of the questions no matter how big or small they were and was a great support during the stressful time of job searching. She gave me so many resources from perfecting my resume, LinkedIn profile, provided me with interview tips and tricks, helped me evaluate job offers/benefit packets, and helped me negotiate a higher salary for my dream job.

I cannot thank her enough for all of her advice and support she provided me. She will also be a beneficial resource for me in the future too.
