Raving Fans

"I totally believe in personal branding, my epiphany hit me like a tidal wave.  The "tidal wave" was that through this branding process, I was able to divorce myself; my skills, my experience, my value proposition, from the lack of results in the current job market.  It can get depressing to attach one’s self worth on how many job interviews you get.  Personal branding made me realize I can't allow the current circumstances affecting everyone looking for a job to define my worth.  Its led to a greater feeling of confidence and realism about what I believe sets me apart from other candidates and how to communicate that to prospective business partners/employers.  I now have a potential offer and two other strong inroads where I am interviewing. Thanks again for your faithful assistance."  At new position: "I am extremely happy… all things are going great (and) this feels like such a great fit. It’s been kind of an amazing experience,  especially after going through all the branding I just can’t tell you how much more confident and how much better I feel about myself and what I bring to the table and my brand and how that helps (my new employer). Thank you, thank you, thank you!

"Yes Career Services, and specifically Kelly Welch, assisted me through a professional transition that resulted in an even greater outlook than expected.  Kelly is an extremely talented, insightful, objective, and supportive business professional that knows her business and leads the industry in her talent. I have enjoyed and learned from Kelly's workshops regarding resume writing, interviewing skills, company research, target marketing for opportunities, and her individual and group coaching sessions.  She has the innate ability to connect your vision and talent to the tangible tools needed in this competitive market place.  Her branding focus not only allows for the individual to truly know what differentiates them, but also to truly communicate this competitive differentiator throughout the career process.  In addition to her talent, her dedication and pursuit of your success is always present.  She coached me through numerous interview processes, helped identify key strategies by company and by person, and helped prioritize the activities."

Stephanie K.– Director, International Consumer Packaged Goods
"I love the résumé… Thank you so much for all of your help, you are amazing at what you do.  I was so frustrated going into that class, but you were such a great help."

Jake B.– Sales professional transitioning to training role
"Most of my career, I've always counted on my experience to get noticed for a job, not the presentation. Those days are long gone! When I heard you speaking, everything you said made sense and made me re-think my approach to getting a job. To be honest, I didn't know what to expect when we first made arrangements to meet. However, the more we talked, the more comfortable I became in relating my professional history to you. You treated me as a professional, you never talked down to me, and I got the feeling you were interested in what I had to say. One of the benefits of hiring you was the result. With just some history that I gave you, you put together an awesome resume that I know will help me down the road should the time arise."  "I want to again, thank you for all that's been done with my resume and interview coaching, you are a definite credit to your profession."

Dick M.– Operations Logistics
"Thank you for your informative presentation last night!  You took a broad, multidimensional topic and broke it into components that we could easily grasp and remember. The rave evaluations from the audience speak for themselves.  From a personal standpoint, I awoke this morning feeling well equipped and eager to revise my personal branding and marketing strategy."

Maryann B.– VP of Programs
"Going through the 360° Assessment with Kelly has made a huge, lasting impact on my business.  I've been in rebranding mode with my business for the past nine months and this process really helped me get clear and excited about my message. The assessment itself is interesting, but having Kelly lead me through the results and help me figure out which parts of my brand are getting across easily and which ones I may need to beef up was extremely valuable.  She had great ideas about using my strengths to differentiate my brand.  I've been using all the nuggets gleaned from this experience, and now writing marketing material is so much more focused and fun. I highly recommend you setting up a Reach 360° assessment with Kelly so you know what you are getting across now and how to shift that to represent your full self in the marketplace. Thanks Kelly!"

Jessica S.– President, The 360 Woman
"I just read through all the documents.  The resume looks great, as we previously discussed and the cover letter is fantastic! I also have to say it was our (coaching) work together which crystallized my understanding of my VALUE and led me to make the proposal to the CEO. Thanks so much."

Michael D.– Global VP of Human Resources
"My experience with your services were superb and it truly helped me define my strengths as a salesperson.  I now recognize my brand and continue to seek positions that are fit for my style and will position me to succeed."

Brian L.– National Account Manager
"It was your feedback that got me focused to think about what VALUE I can offer…I have one potential offer already and another interview coming up, so THANK YOU."

"WOW – do I like it?? I LOVE IT!! Man, you are good, you NAILED it! Writing is your strength big-time!! It looks perfect. Thanks so much for your great support. You are amazing."

Dawn M. – VP, Client Strategy
"Working with you on this project has been a rewarding experience.  I'm very pleased with the final results.  I'll not hesitate to refer anyone I know seeking assistance of this type to you in the future."

Bill T.– Manager of Software Quality Assurance
"Kelly presented to members of our HR group who are seeking new positions. She made a very persuasive case for the importance of branding yourself as a professional. It is obvious that Kelly has researched her topic thoroughly-she mentioned several references during the course of her presentation. She understands the nuances of the various forms of social media. Equally apparent is Kelly's passion for her subject matter. She has a genuine interest in helping people embrace and showcase their strengths in the most effective ways. Our group left the presentation with several clear and achievable takeaways."

Marbet C.– Transitions Manager, Raleigh Wake Human Resource Management Association
"Three thoughts that describe Kelly Welch: refuses to be defeated, no matter the odds or challenge; seemingly doesn't require sleep re: her dedication to a client; unparalleled professional. She's not the Special Forces of Career Coaches, she's the person whom the Special Forces of Career Coaches call in to bail them out!"
