“Kevin was an excellent career coach. His perspective on LinkedIn was very helpful in getting myself to overcome my anxieties and negative connotation around “social media” aspect of it and seeing positive impact it can have in my career and life. In communicating with me, he was timely, concise, and effective without coming off too assertive or patronizing at all. My coach was also excellent in following up with me in a way that demonstrated genuine care for my success while also being really patient with me when I needed more time to work on a certain things. I’m currently in a position I love and Kevin was an important component of my journey to get here. Thanks, Kevin!

“Dee is an excellent and supportive coach, an excellent listener who offered great insight and counsel to me during this transition process. I’m very grateful to have been paired with her! I found the resume writing services, tools and videos on the Impact web site to be very useful and of great help.”

“Roni was absolutely instrumental in my transition this year. I’ve developed individually and in terms of my career. My coachhelped me shape a path that aligns to my values, completely tailored to what I was looking for. She was a perfect combination of inspiration and accountability. I admit to being skeptical of the value of a company sponsored transition support program, but my coach completely blew my skepticism away. I feel more confident in reaching for my dreams because of Roni’s coaching and will always owe a big piece of my success to her intuitive and generous method of coaching. Amazing!”

“I had the wonderful pleasure of working with Linda as I transitioned into retirement with an interest in embarking on a new journey as an entrepreneur. Although I was unable to complete the program due to personal reasons, Linda provided exceptional guidance and support during our time together. From the very beginning, my coach and I had an instant connection. She was attentive, empathetic, and fully dedicated to helping me achieve my goals. She tailored her approach to fit my unique situation offering valuable insights and practical advice. Linda did everything she could to ensure I felt supported and understood. Even when life got hectic and I struggled to keep up, my coach remained patient and encouraging. She provided a safe and non-judgmental space for me to explore my ideas and challenges. Her professionalism and genuine care for me as an individual set her apart as an outstanding coach. I am grateful for the time we spent together, and I believe anyone looking to make a significant career transition would greatly benefit from her coaching.”

“Roxanne is an excellent coach! I am an atypical candidate in that I was looking to keep engaged doing consulting in retirement. She understood my personal situation and needs quickly and provided sound coaching advice.”

“I appreciated Roni’s professionalism. She listened well and was patient and understanding throughout the process. This was important to me while the dust settled, and I figured out my next steps. Roni provided me the right type of guidance I needed to assist with my decision making. I ultimately decided to retire for good, but definitely see the value in the services that IMPACT Group offers.”

Our coaches use content and tools from the Leavy School of Business at Santa Clara University’s My Own Business Institute (MOBI) to help new entrepreneurs launch successful businesses. Our coaching aligns with MOBI resources, including free online courses.

Here are what some past participants had to say about working with our coaches to start their own businesses:

“To put it simply, this was a demonstration of excellence in coaching. In my 35+ year career, I’ve never had a better coaching experience. Christopher is an amazing person with the unique ability to help people improve their lives. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to work with my coach.”

“Suzanne was wonderful to work with and she helped me in countless ways to get my burgeoning consulting business off the ground, hold my hand when I was doubting myself, and challenge me to develop new approaches and skills. I felt that my coach cared about me as a person and was invested in helping me to succeed. Thank you, Suzanne!”

”Dee, and Impact, were tremendous resources. I took a different path, moving to a more entrepreneurial career, building my own business. Dee’s experience and guidance throughout was fabulously valuable. She cared, she challenged me in the most positive ways, helping me to see other ways to approach networking, billing, marketing, etc., she guided, and was a tremendous “partner” as I navigated this journey. Our weekly calls were always of value. Dee quickly picked up on what was critical to me at the time, and provided so much wonderful advice that I can’t thank her enough. I truly leaned on her experience and approach and felt confidence knowing she was in my corner.”

“My coach is the best of the best. Her support and assistance was second to none. It was a pleasure working with her. Because of her incredible support, I would recommend Impact to anyone.”

“Thank you so much for providing (my coach) John! He proved to be invaluable as I negotiated my first job search in 24 years. I waited so long to get a job because I enjoyed talking with him so much (joking). He was always positive, knowledgeable and insightful and he really did ‘coach’ me every step of the way.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from my engagement with Suzanne. She is a skilled professional who engages with a highly effective combination of empathy, understanding, and challenge. I highly recommend Suzanne and, by extension, IMPACT Group.”
