“Last Fall I had the good fortune to be coached and counseled by Estelle after I was laid off from Hewlett Packard.  

Estelle proved to extremely knowledgeable, supportive and effective as she facilitated my transition into the next phase of my career.  She helped me formulate a strong plan of action and then showed energy and optimism as she encouraged me to stay on track with that plan.  

Estelle was willing to think outside the box when it came to my future and because of her many years as a successful entrepreneur she was able to guide me in areas far beyond the scope I had anticipated.

I also had the pleasure of taking one of the courses taught by Estelle and she displayed excellent teaching, facilitation and time management skills.

I highly recommend Estelle as coach, educator and career counselor.”

Hi Estelle,

“I wanted to let you know that I am moving forward in my new career and currently have 2 dogs I am caring for.  I am also volunteering at the Humane Society as a dog care provider thanks to you and your guidance.  I have also been asked to join a company as a contractor this morning and am attending an orientation tomorrow.  Thanks to you I may just be fulfilling a dream to get paid working with dogs!  Go figure you could get paid doing something you love.” 

Thank You,

Mike Bird

Estelle,

“Thank you!  You have no idea how much of an impact you have had on my life.  You must have figured out by now that I am quite a driven person.  I am so impressed by Integrity, Expertise and the ability of people to HELP/TEACH/COACH others.  You have been an example of all this! 

What I loved about you was your ability to help me the WAY I NEEDED it and not the way most people or others need it.  You customized and truly cared about what I needed to know and do and you showed me the ropes and told me exactly where and how to find the information.  That is the kind of work that impresses me! 

Each meeting with you was productive and I felt I had learned and was one step closer to my goal of establishing my own business!”

“Estelle Cimino was truly the best career coach I obtained during my career transition early this year. She was fully available and highly knowledgeable of all the intricacies and strategies related to my job search, including possible entrepreneurship options.

Thanks to Estelle, I approached the changes in my career as a wonderful opportunity to seek the type of job and work environment that truly made me thrive. Estelle’s attitude, along with the learning tools I obtained from her for networking and resume building, made me feel very comfortable in seeking the right job opportunities during an economy that is certainly challenging.

With the strategies learned I am landing very exciting consulting assignments. I am also working on a large project that is enabling me to flourish. I have made the leap into the unknown under a very difficult market with confidence and grace and I give Estelle a lot of the credit for it. Estelle Cimino has my highest recommendation, along with my gratitude, for being an honestly caring and highly knowledgeable resource during my career change.”

“I just wanted to thank you for all the tools, understanding, and encouragement you have given me.  You helped me focus in on a career area, you educated me on networking and provided resources, you improved my resume, you’ve asked me good questions and listened when I answered and given good, honest feedback, and you’ve expressed confidence in me and my abilities.  You’ve taught me and shown me a lot and, while I’ve been slow about it, I have been utilizing it.  I will continue to do this, I think with a little more committment now.”
