Strategic guidance helped Dr. Kathryn D. make the right career change.

"I worked with Dr. Erica Walls on career goals and strategies for switching my career. She was my guide as I moved from front-line fundraising to philanthropy consulting and a role as a university professor.  Erica put me on a path that nourishes my soul and brings meaning to my work."

See how Zara L. overcame self-doubt to pursue bigger opportunities.

"After our coaching sessions, I was inspired to apply for opportunities that I would not have been confident enough to apply for prior. Erica helped me gain clarity on my own career goals and develop actionable strategies to progress towards my objectives."

Dr. Jamie P. overcame comparisons and embraced her authentic style through the Emerging Leadership Program.

"I am more comfortable in my 'leadership skin' now. I understand why I shouldn't have been comparing myself to others. I have been delegating a lot more now and doing much more of what I want to do."

The Strategic Action Program helped Nana A. break through uncertainty and secure her ideal role.

"I started this journey feeling uncertain about what was possible. However, I have come out with a job that aligns with my values and my capabilities, and exceeds my initial salary goal."

Through the Authentic Confidence Program, Dr. Rachel R. launched her consulting business.

"This program has allowed me to rediscover myself, my strengths, and my skills at a time when I was really lacking confidence. My decision to 'Do it Scared' has really been an important check-in for me—it allows me to move forward and forced me to really value myself."

Dr. Tanisha W. aligned her career with her values through the Career Clarity Program. You can too.

"I've gained more confidence in my ability to find a job that is aligned with my values and passions. I'm glad that I signed up for this program. It has been helpful in clarifying my short term and long term professional goals."

LinkedIn optimization helped Dr. Andrea S. pivot with purpose.

"Erica saw what I couldn't... With grace and expertise, she revamped my LinkedIn page and restored my confidence... If you're navigating a career pivot or federal layoff, Dr. Erica is the coach you want in your corner."

The Career Clarity Program helped Tamera A. find her strategic direction.

"When you are prepared for the next chapter, you have a calm spirit. I have a strategy now! This program has been part of my self-care. All women should go through a program like this."

Like Ellen E., you can discover new possibilities for your expertise.

"I have gained insights into how my education and skills can translate to something else. My goal sounds like me, like what I want. I can imagine that. I feel confident about it."

Want to bring your values to your career? Brenda C. did.

"I most valued breaking down the stages of how to begin looking for careers/fields that I would be interested in, and understanding how I can translate my social justice values to my career."

Xiulan Z. gained interview confidence through expert coaching.

"I have learned a more structured way to prepare my interview by using the templates including organization research and interview questions. It allowed an opportunity to let me self-reflect on how much I have accomplished in the past and provided me a positive perspective to be confident about what I can do in the future."

Supportive guidance made the difference for Angelina L.

"Erica creates a positive environment where I feel comfortable to bounce ideas off of her and get constructive feedback. I am able to express my thoughts and walk away having learned so much each time."

Well-structured, expert coaching helped Shirleen K. achieve her goals.

"The whole experience was amazing! I had great appreciation for Dr. Walls' knowledge, communication, responsiveness, attentiveness, personable approach, and encouragement. All excellent! I'm so glad I took this journey."
