Who I've HelpeD
“The tools she provided assisted not only with my knowledge of the job market and how to approach the application process, but also increased my confidence and employability significantly.”
Career planning, in the midst of constant job market disruption and innovation, has become a more challenging task than ever. Lydia's 'career for years' lays a foundation for putting yourself in the sailor's seat of career navigation. She has developed simple but potent tools that got me considering everything from micro-decisions for enhancing job experience, to balancing professional goals with the various factors of having a young family. More than anything, Lydia stepped in my shoes, she grappled with the various considerations I had, kept thinking about them between our coaching sessions, and came back with thoughtful advice that made a difference in my career planning process. If you are looking to ‘future-proof’ your career, I highly recommend Lydia, as an HR professional with a pulse on the job market, and as a highly dynamic and energetic career coach.

I had the pleasure of meeting Lydia in September 2016 during our Master of Industrial Relations program at Queen’s University. From the moment I met Lydia, it was evident that she was a leader amongst her peers. Lydia quickly became a mentor to me, and was often the person I turned to for interview preparation advice. She taught me fundamental interview skills that contributed to my success in landing my first full time job in my desired field. Lydia coached me in various interview strategies that allowed my answers to complex questions to be concise and compelling.

While debating between two offers, both of which would further my career, Lydia enabled me to sort the complexity of what was most important in a career move while providing reassurance I was being logical and measured. I found the decision terribly difficult, sometimes boarding on emotional hysterics. Lydia was there every step of the way, giving solid council and being a great sounding board. I came out of that ordeal with a new role and confidence I had made the right choice.

I used the tile you gave me especially the STAR method. She was impressed and sent my details to the hiring company. Then 2 weeks later I was working. I’m so happy so far, everything we did together and everything you did and said, really helped me so much.
