        Powerful exercises and valuable insights for professionals in transition. As a big tech employee considering a career change in the near future, this sprint was super valuable to me and will be helpful to anyone who wants to get better at telling their story, especially if you want to move up a level, to a new function or new industry.

        Ryan is empathetic in helping folks address where they are in their career journey. Ryan had a good handle on methodologies and structures to help me access different ways of thinking about myself and my career. He was able bring ideas into the conversation that I would not have thought of had I tried to do this as a self guided exercise.

        Ryan helped me build a "networking statement" that I can use with anyone, but particularly with people in my company. I now use this when getting to know coworkers in different departments at my company. It's helped me learn about others while communicating who I am and where I can add value.

        In my mid-20s, I struggled to define my career. Ryan’s workshop helped me discover what lights a fire in me. We explored fulfilling moments and projects I took pride in. We turned anecdotes into a career statement that captured what I stand for and it guided me to the right role. My work with Ryan changed the trajectory of my career.
