What current community members have to say about PathWise
“Working with a PathWise coach (Tony) has been incredibly valuable. It provided me with the tools to succeed, such as a polished resume and LinkedIn profile. But more important, it helped me gain clarity about what I’m looking for in the next phase of my career, and how I can tell my own story in a compelling way to get there.”
- Sean F.
“My PathWise coach (Beth) has given me a new toolset to take control of my career path and achieve balance and satisfaction in my day to day role. Since working with Beth, I have a renewed focus on being true to my personal values, making sure I’m in a position that allows me to contribute fully, and building strong relationships and community at work. Beth has also helped me recognize the need to adapt my communication style to more effectively connect with co-workers that approach problems and process information differently than me.”
