ENTREPRENEURIAL

“Working with my coach was a joy! She not only was incredibly empathetic of my situation, but she provided many resources and ideas for me to find new opportunities with my skill set. We also worked together to really bring my resume up to professional standard, which I think helped a lot in my search. While I did not pursue a traditional corporate career, I was given the motivation and encouragement to make my own business work, which is what I am currently doing–running operations full time for my creative businesses. Highly recommend speaking with a coach or anyone on the IMPACT Group team for career guidance!”

Margaret Beeler

Company Owner at Half Sun Press and Tropetails

“Working with my coach was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. His guidance and support I received gave me the clarity and confidence to take the leap and start my own company. I’m now living my best life as an entrepreneur, doing work that truly fulfills me. The coaching didn’t just help me navigate a career transition, it helped me discover what was possible when I believed in myself and took action on my dreams.”

“My coach was a great resource for me. She had the best traits for her job. Traits like knowledgeable, friendly, good listener, detail oriented, and professional. Her best trait for me was that she was strong and driven which really helped me to keep on my journey and gave me additional energy and motivation to be successful in my job search. She was instrumental in me finding the right job.”

Bret Eshleman

Senior Engineering Program Manager at Summit Polymers

“I came to know my coach with IMPACT Group during a very difficult time as I had just unexpectedly been let go from my former employer after 14 good years. He was patient, attentive, and through our regularly scheduled meetings; helped me develop a networking strategy as well as craft an impressive resume which told my story, highlighted my strengths and career successes. Prior to interviews, we had prep sessions which prepared me well and provided some much needed confidence. My coach also helped me craft an approach to interview follow up emails that allowed me to reinforce highlights from the interviews and clear up any ambiguities. He was a valuable resource and I couldn’t imagine going thru that experience without his help.”

MEDICAL

“I went into these sessions feeling discouraged. My coach provided specific insights into tailoring my resume and cover letters, but most importantly, he helped me polish my interviewing skills—where I felt the weakest. The one-on-one support, especially being able to talk through my most challenging interview scenarios, along with the helpful webinars, gave me renewed hope. Thankfully, I landed a new position just a few months after my initial layoff.”

Kristen Erickson

Director of Member Services and Business Development at American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS)

“My coach and the team were fantastic! They did a great job just teaching about different aspects of searching for a job. Resume, networking, ATS systems, tips and tricks, interview prep, and so much more! Then having a coach in my own field just specializes the whole experience to be a bit more custom to where I want to be working. I wouldn’t be where I am today without IMPACT.”

“Stepping back into the job marketplace can be overwhelming. This is especially the case in new and the fast-changing landscape of today’s job search tools. My coach was an excellent resource to help get me up to speed quickly. She addressed my unique concerns and was the perfect match for my situation. Her years of experience and being able to relate to my mid-career change were a bonus. I quickly learned the ‘secret sauce’ to presenting a robust profile. This was supplemented with a talented technical writer that helped bring my strengths and talents to the forefront of a crowded stage.”

Shane Scheib

Director of Program Management at Stark Aerospace

EXECUTIVE

“In early 2024 I found myself planning and beginning execution of my exit from my prior employer. I connected with IMPACT Group’s C-Level Executive services.  My transition coach was nothing short of spectacular. She helped me frame who I was a a person and leader, discern what I wanted to do, improve my online presence, and enhance my story telling about my leadership journey. My search fortunately was very brief, and as a result, my coach also helped me connect into IMPACT Group’s relocation services which facilitated a smooth and rapid relocation to the Pacific Northwest.

“I continued to work with my coach through my first year as CEO of RedDOT Corporation where she supported my transition and onboarding.  I remain in touch with her today. If you find yourself needing or wanting C-Level Executive transition support, I strongly recommend IMPACT Group.  They are experts, accountability partners, cheerleaders, and sounding boards to ensure a successful transition to whatever you want to do next.”

LEGAL & FINANCIAL

“My experience was personalized and transformative from start to finish. She masterfully tailored her approach to my needs, consistently pushing me to grow in my comfort zone in a challenging yet incredibly motivating way. Tami fostered an environment that deeply encouraged introspection, prompting me to examine my thoughts and behaviors with profound honesty. This led to significant personal growth, as I developed new perspectives and tackled obstacles I once thought insurmountable.

“Crucially,  my coach’s guidance was always supportive and manageable, ensuring I felt empowered rather than overwhelmed. This support helped me land my next role in a field I love with an organization that was the perfect next career step. I highly recommend my coach to anyone seeking a truly impactful and empowering developmental or coaching career journey.”

-Chad Larsen-Stauber

Vice President of Learning & Development at a Top Three Wall Street Bank

“Working with my coach at IMPACT Group was truly inspiring. She was supportive of my transitional space and was brilliant at formulating questions to help me move beyond my perspective. This allowed me to explore opportunities outside of my current mindset which opened up a lot more employment possibilities for me.”
