Brown Ambition Podcast

The coaching session was worth every penny!! Mandi’s advice was the key reason a difficult conversation had a positive outcome that exceeded any expectations I had.

Mandi, you helped me set a realistic salary goal as I set out on my journey to find another job and I accomplished it! In our first call you suggested I ask for $50K more and that is literally what I got!

She is genuinely invested in helping me progress. Thank you for your encouraging words.

Mandi listened to my concerns and questions and gave me next steps I could use immediately. She was very transparent with me and even advised me to relax and focus on changing my energy. I am energized about continuing my job search and I have Mandi's strategies and guidance to help me with the process.

You were right: I’m not under-qualified. I think I’ve just been conditioned to think that way after being devalued for so long. You are the real deal…and that’s exactly why I’ve been a fan for so long.

Mandi listens well and was able to dissect all of the layers of my challenges. Her advice is comprehensive and gave me a path forward. So grateful for our time!

Mandi gave me a strong sense of confidence that I could make my money work for me. The list of action items I took from that conversation has helped me set financial goals for the year and my goals look good! I’m feeling energized and excited for the year ahead.

Mandi’s down to earth, helpful, creative, and able to find solutions to any career challenge I was facing. She had a lot of unique insights to share regarding my field. She provided clear and concrete next steps. I did not feel pressured to have another coaching session with her but felt welcomed to meet with her again should I want additional support along my career journey.

I enjoyed our conversation because I felt I was being heard and understood. The advice given was very helpful and has worked very quickly.

Your pearls of wisdom have been insightful to this present day…Loyalty and going with what I know ALMOST had me stuck. But I listened to my gut and I remembered our call. You mentioned things like I can go for the big roles, use my network, let people come to you . And here I had this opportunity that basically met my salary requirements, offered me a sign on bonus, and I can do hybrid so I went with my gut and said YES.

When I scheduled the call I was nervous, scared and apprehensive about my next steps. I knew what I needed to do, but I wanted to talk them over with an objective voice, someone who wouldn't just tell me what I wanted to hear and not someone who was insecure in their own moves - I'd already done both of those. Mandi was just the person - I'm interested in a Director or Senior Manager role as my next move and since Mandi has already done both of those, she was able to calm my fears, hear me out, let me voice my concerns and provide me with solid next steps - smaller steps than what I was thinking - just so I could go ahead and get moving onto my next.

Mandi quickly caught on to what I'm feeling about my work life. I found it refreshing that she didn't have a "X-step" plan for what I needed to do and how I needed to do it. Her feedback was validating, wise, and not "too-good-to-be-true"/pie-in-the-sky.

I enjoyed our conversation because I felt I was being heard and understood. The advice given was very helpful and has worked very quickly.

Mandi’s empathetic nature and non judgmental approach really helped me to feel at ease and share authentically. She had a ton of resources that effortlessly come to the fore in conversation. That is super helpful if you’re trying to navigate a new space.

She was personable, great energy and an amazing resource. She takes the time to get to know you so that she can cater coaching to your needs!

Mandi listened to me, understood my concerns, and made great recommendations.

Mandi is so professional and knowledgeable and easy to speak with.
