“I spoke with Shauna generally about career direction about a year ago. She was super-helpful and I’ve spent the last year sinking in to the direction she helped me embrace... Now, I’ve just gotten promoted…”

I know that without your help in developing a job search strategy and reformatting my résumé to best appeal to employers that I would not have gotten this opportunity. I will keep in touch.”
- Junior lawyer shifting to executive-track
Read More“One of the most helpful parts of our conversation is forcing me to remember all the work I’ve done. It was an extremely helpful exercise and a great reminder that you’ve got to know what’s on your résumé and be able to speak to it. Thank you so much!”

- Securities lawyer positioning for GC roles
Read More“In the last 10 minutes, I’ve realized that I really needed something to click with me about why I’m not interviewing well. And this is it. I’ve had all the answers in my head, but my insecurities cloud my ability to give the clear, concise, confident answers. Honestly, I have struggled with this for months. I’ve been so hung up on trying to justify and apologize for my background instead of really understanding that it has value. I finally got it! I'm so glad we did this.”
- Law firm litigation partner shifting to very different in-house roles

- Former U.S. head of D&I / corporate social responsibility for Fortune 500
Read More“It’s just non-stop; it’s crazy. I sent the résumé to the chairmen of three AmLaw 100 firms, and all three responded within 24 hours, so I have three interviews next week with both the chairs and key lawyers in the office. I’m very pleased. The combination of documents is getting the doors opened. And I had a lot of people who supported me—like my friends who are partners at other firms—but once they saw my new résumé, they saw me in a different way, not just as their friend anymore. I’m taken much more seriously, and given so much more respect because they’re really seeing the impact I’ve had and the level of work I’ve done. It has changed the conversation. I consider you part of my team now, and I’m so grateful.”

Read More“This has been so helpful. 90% of what you’ve said are things I didn’t know, things I didn’t even think about. But it all makes so much sense.”
