Our Clients Reinvent their Careers Pivoting from Entrepreneurship to Employment

I found Susanna after I sold my Business and was at a crossroads in my life and didn’t really know what I could do as all I knew was publishing.  Working with Susanna, I discovered the many skills I had developed as a business owner.  She gave me a voice to position this experience into coaching small businesses what I’ve learned.  With her patient listening, coaching and guidance, I’ve found a way to market myself that I could not have found on my own.

Michael T.

Food Truck Business, (Former Corporate Professional)

I am an architect who had decided to go back to a full-time job after 15 years of self-employment so I knew I needed help with my professional presentation to employers and recruiters. With so many resume writers’ services available, I am grateful that I decided to work with Coach Susanna, principal at High-Point Coaching. Firstly, she was available for a face to face meeting, which was very important for me, as I believe it is the best way for someone to get to know what you are about. She asked the right questions and helped me focus on how to brand myself for my job search. Her resume writing skills are excellent and she was open to my ideas and revisions. Her collaborative, open and patient approach led us to a great result. Susanna is also a great career coach and I will definitely consider her expertise for consultations as I navigate this career transition.

Architect

I was fortunate to find Susanna through LinkedIn.  Initially I engaged her services because I wanted to return to employment after being in  business for myself.  I was feeling that I had taken my business as far as I could go.  Susanna helped me discover that I’m an entrepreneur at heart and I needed to freshen my business model and develop new service offerings to diversify.  I came out of our coaching engagement with a renewed sense of my abilities and passion for why I got into business in the first place.  Working with Susanna I began to see myself as a leader and gained more self confidence.  I’ll be back to Susanna for ongoing support and guidance in retooling my business.
