Read More“I’ve been frustrated, but I didn’t know what to do about it. I didn’t have a plan. And I didn’t have anyone to talk to about it. This gives me some direction, and that’s a lot of what I needed. You’ve given me a lot to chew on. It was really helpful just to start to put pen to paper on a lot of these things. I’ve vigorously scribbled down notes—I have 15 pages in front of me—so that I can go through your suggested exercises.”

And I really enjoy doing this with you. I really like the way the résumé’s ordered. I’ve been working with chaos, but it almost naturally fell into an order now. It’s kind of genius.”
