Raves and Reviews
Jody Eriksen is a career coach with amazing insight and compassionate perseverance. She first demonstrated her professional skills to me through numerous group speaking presentations I attended when initially unemployed. Realizing her ability to consistently educate and motivate me to result-oriented action, I employed her one-on-one coaching services for six months—the best investment I could have made.
Jody has a superb blend of intuition, energy and compassion. Time after time, she helped me discover the next step towards re-employment and never lost faith in me. Our appointments were regularly a bright spot in my week and have now opened up a bright future for me using my skills and giftedness in higher education.

When I first came to Jody, I was something of a lost soul with respect to my career. I was one of those people who made it through college (even grad school) and a couple of good jobs without truly considering where it was that I wanted to go with my professional life. Thanks to Jody, I identified a career path and I'm well on my way to being as fulfilled in my working life as I am in my personal life.
Jody is much more than a career coach as far as I'm concerned; she is a full-fledged Life Coach. She's a great listener with a talent for quickly getting to the heart of the obstacles standing between you and your ambitions.
Jody inspired me and energized me to determine a goal and get after it. Within a few months of meeting, I was on my way. I quickly became an educated networker, opportunity seeker, and job claimer. With her help, I am making excellent progress toward my goal. I cannot thank her or recommend her strongly enough!” Mike Dockum Account Manager at PGI Marketing & Communications
Thank You Jody!
Your seminar at St. Hubert helped so that I could answer the question "Tell me about yourself" in a clean, focused statement. The road to a new job is a road of discovery and until I understood who I was and what I wanted, I could not nail the interview and win the job. Thank you for your words, energy and passion to help people on the "hunt".
John, Project Manager at Citi and "Tell Me About Yourself" workshop participant
Dear Jody,
Once again, your presentation exceeded my expectations. I have attended many Job Club programs at the Addison Library, and you are the best career coach (in my opinion) that Sally has introduced us to. Thanks so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge!
Olga "Creating Connections" workshop participant
"I really enjoyed your presentation....your ideas and information are extremely helpful. It is so easy to be overwhelmed at this point and it is great to meet people such as yourself that are very much adding value and providing support. You helped me frame some great mental tools to attack my next interview. Thanks for your generosity"

Marge, Office Manager
"Thanks SO much for the July 2nd "cold calling" seminar you taught at DeVry. I've been to many seminars since entering career transition 2 months ago & it was one of, if not THE very best. Thanks again!"
Dave, Former GM Marketing Executive
"Dear Jody, I wanted to thank you for coming out and presenting to our Engineers tonight. Our group was in serious need of inspiration and you were exactly what the doctor ordered. Your professionalism in handling the personal side of the job search was very impressive and your wealth of tools and tips leaves us feeling well prepared to take responsibility for our own success! Sincere Thanks!"

“Getting Unstuck” workshop participant
"Jody is extremely easy to talk to and very understanding. She listens to her client's needs and is able to assess and implement solutions to assist her clients to achieve their goals. She helps people find meaningful work, pursue exciting career transitions, and help people become more passionate about their lives. She also provides guidance to people who want to move from where they are now (personally and professionally) to where they ideally want to be. As a speaker, Jody is motivating, uplifting, and entertaining with relevant, up-to-the-minute topics."
Becky Brillon, Program Director, Community Career Center
"Jody does a wonderful job of getting people motivated to work on their job search. She is very good at making people realize that they have talents and they can take the next step forward in their search. I highly recommend both her group sessions and individual sessions"
Rosanna, Senior Account Manager
"Jody has been a key asset for me during my career transition. She does a great job one-on-one, but also did a superior job in presenting to a group of 200 professional leaders and managers. I highly recommend you engage Jody, whether you are seeking your dream job and currently employed, or can benefit from her coaching during a career transition."
Pat, Regional Sales Manager
"Jody brings a wealth of personal and professional knowledge and experience to her coaching practice. She has helped me greatly as both a career and life coach."
