2023 Workplace & Career Coaching (Copy)

“I really enjoyed working with Crystal, I learned a lot both as a client and as a new coach. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity. I consistently discovered more than I was expecting!”

• Morgan D. (Leadership Coach)

“What I like about working with Talent Collective is the approach to helping me unlock my potential; it's designed so that it's for me to discover for myself. I was able to provide real examples from my work and explore (from varying angles) how to adapt, improve, and ultimately do some of my best work that propelled me to new levels in my career.”

• Taylor Y. (Communications Manager)

“I've tried coaching and mentoring a few times in the past and have sometimes struggled to get into it, but I found Crystal's friendly openness easy to connect with straight away. I felt like she was a thoughtful and attentive listener and would ask great questions which would really help me to think about my situation, plans and goals in a different light, and come to my own answers. I highly recommend working with Crystal if you have a goal or challenge you want to overcome, she will help you to navigate everything and see your own progress.”

• Isabelle K. (Merchant Success Manager)

“Crystal Is Invested In You — And You Getting To Where You Want To Go.

We're used to asking for feedback from our bosses, it’s how we gauge how we're doing. But we're not used to working with someone who doesn’t really care about the output for the organization. They care about the output for you. And to me, that's the kind of magic that coaching is.

She is the best friend that you need. But not everyone has. Because she's got this very specific lens that she looks at through. And it's like, a global one.”

• Elise D. (Communications Manager)

“Through working with Crystal over 2 years she provided professional but personal sessions where I was able to gain some confidence over my career path and skillset. She has empowered and equipped me with the tools to continue working on what I want my career pathway to look like whilst always offering helpful advice to aid me in my decisions.”

• Maddie S. (Growth Account Manager)

“The brilliant and thoughtful coaching I've received from Crystal at Talent Collective has changed my life. That may sound dramatic, but she has supported me to improve my mindset in a way that has set me on the trajectory that I otherwise would not have been on. Crystal is a skilled listener and has a wealth of tools and processes that have been extremely valuable in taking my leadership ability to the next level. She has been a true partner in my professional growth every step of the way.

• Ashley M (Programs Manager)

“It was extremely helpful to have a coach during my job search and transition into a new role. I had been in my previous role for 6 years, so I had a lot of work to do to position my experience and interview for more senior positions. Crystal provided great feedback, structure, insights into what hiring managers would be looking for from candidates, and general hiring trends - the realities of how long it would take, or what wins to celebrate along the way. Once in a new role, coaching changed to setting me up for success, making a great first impression and creating my 30-60-90 day plan. And before the 8 months of coach was done, Crystal was coaching me on a promotion to lead a team! Thank you!”

• Nancy Z.

“I have experienced the tremendous benefits of having a professional coaching relationship. It has skyrocketed my confidence, resilience, and my abilities to pivot and learn quickly. The return on investment is immeasurable as it has had an impact on all areas of my life. Highly recommended for professionals of every stripe and hue.”

• Darlene A.

“I was able to take what I learned and apply it right away. The tools I learned allowed me to, in a way, coach myself out of what I was struggling with. It gave me a chance to ask questions, see how I might be holding myself back, discover new perspectives, and realize that tuning into my "best self" gave me so much clarity and insight.”

• Cheryl L.

“I thought I'd share the news that I started a new job! I navigated the interviews and negotiations with confidence thanks to your coaching (and Annika's too!). I would add that my onboarding experience has also been enhanced by the knowledge I gained from coaching. And I'm working from home, which is exactly what I aspired to do!

Thanks for all your help in the past. I don't know whether I'd have felt comfortable making this change without it!”

• Sara B.

Coaching with Talent Collective has helped me move through decisions in life with all perspectives taken into account, questions I wouldn't have thought through and given me tools out of every session to be better prepared with each move. The notes I made in every session I can now refer to and my life/business are better prepared because of the coaching I received with Talent Collective.

• Jess J.

Crystal and Annika were the perfect duo to help me during a professionally challenging time in my life. They were compassionate yet authentic, purposeful, and dedicated to my success. If anybody feels lost in their job or career path and is thinking of getting coaching or guidance - you will not regret working with Talent Collective!

• Alice K.

Investing in career coaching with the Talent Collective was one of the best decisions I've made. Crystal and Annika helped me navigate a job offer and the transition into my new role. It's also been a journey of self discovery and I feel more equipped than ever before to be brave for this next season of my personal and professional growth."

• Tina S.

“Signing on with Talent Collective will be a personal development adventure you won't regret! The decision making, accountability skills and confidence I gained throughout my time with Talent Collect was priceless. If you're ready to embrace celebrating the small wins, daring to dream big and get shit done along the way - Sign up!”

• Michelle H.

“I have been working with Annika for 3 years, anytime I have any negotiating I need advice on I don't hesitate to contact her. Annika is organized, professional and very personable. She has helped me focus on what I want and how to negotiate for that. Whether it was a job or a leadership role that I was interested in, her advice has always been on point and focused. Working with Annika has been an excellent investment I've made in my negotiating skills.“

• N.C.

“Working with Talent Collective gave me understanding in how to leverage and promote my unique skillset; leading to a new role and company that has transformed my professional life, I'm happier and more fulfilled than I have ever been before.“

• Steven M.

“I would highly recommend the Talent Collective, and Crystal's coaching. Whether it's for wellness, leadership or career coaching - she is a 'safe space' where you can be both vulnerable and empowered. 100% go for it!”

• Elise P.

“I can't sing enough praise for Crystal and Annika. What a dynamic duo! Beyond being the friendliest ladies North of the border (Canadians, gotta love them), they reignited a youthful optimism that had faded in my (9-5) grind. The confidence I gained over the course was beyond measure. I came in seeking a total career transformation and we chipped away to get me on track towards my future facing goals. No turning back! I think we defined it as the 'Poof moment'. Did I mention they are fun and silly?! Makes the process all the more enjoyable! My career perspective has changed dramatically and the future looks brighter and more positive already. My advice is, stop reading this review, and sign up already ;) You won't regret it! It's like therapy for your career!”
