Client Reviews and Success Stories

I help professional women to overcome mid-career stagnation by teaching them how to leverage the power of personal branding and networking to finally reach the next level. Career advancement means something different for everyone. My clients have come to me because they were seeking promotions at work or new jobs within the same industry. Others had the desire to make career transitions into a completely different industry or even start their own small businesses. No matter the path, I have been able to help them reach their career advancement goals.

Here’s what some of these amazing women had to say!:

Before deciding to work with a career coach, I was moving to a different level in my career and also moving to a different state. I was worried about not having the connections to land a job as a new nurse practitioner, when I've previously been a registered nurse. I chose to work with Uzoma because I attended several of her online and in person presentations and was impressed with her knowledge in career coaching. Though her expertise does not focus on any one particular career industry, Uzoma took time to ask relevant questions before giving her recommendations.

I am oftentimes shy.  Sometimes, I find it difficult to sell myself to potential employers.  Uzoma's career strategy program helped me to see the importance of making connections and promoting myself. I loved the program because it felt individualized to my needs.  In particular, I needed to learn how to network. I was given baby steps that helped me to become more comfortable approaching people and making connections. The process was smooth, gradual and organized.  Before I knew it I was talking to everyone and anyone which eventually led to my first job in my new field.  Uzoma's guidance was instrumental in helping me to pinpoint areas that I needed to work on to push myself to the next level and connect me to my next big opportunity!"

After I lost my job, I was hired within weeks. My LinkedIn profile is now at All-Star status because of the improvements that Uzoma suggested in her audit. Before the improvements I made because of the audit, I was not really appearing in searches. But since I made changes to my profile, this has improved 100%.

I honestly got more than what I bargained for working with Uzoma and I am sold! My primary reason for moving forward with working with her is from our initial call. The first impression is a lasting one and I was impressed! From the very start, Uzoma was very professional, confident yet humble, compassionate, and good-natured. Understand that while she is about her business, her STRONG passion to see and help others prevail exceeded my expectation so she is definitely worth the investment. She asked me thought provoking questions to pull answers out of me that I never thought to ask myself and no other person who I previously worked with asked. She forced me to ponder and really dig deep on my vision of my career path. That was one of the many unexpected benefits that I gained since implementing Uzoma’s strategies. Once we narrowed down my forte, the emphasis was what I wanted my end-result to be career wise. Uzoma created my resume and cover letter with the data she collected from our calls. I posted my resume and applied for jobs on January 1, 2020. Interviews came in within my first week from companies who rejected my previous resumes. The BEST part of working with Uzoma is the fact that she has such a beautiful spirit! Uzoma, I humbly thank you for your dedication to your expertise. Continue to “Lead Beautifully!”

Uzoma is amazing at what she does. She helped and guided me through two major career decisions that really helped me to get to where I am today. About six years ago, I applied for a new position. The salary for the new position was only a $2,500 increase and I was torn between being comfortable and staying in my previous role or gaining a new experience, and having more duties/challenges. Uzoma really helped to guide my decision and gave me a great perspective. Thus, I took the new position despite of the pay. Nonetheless, within a year I received a $5,000 salary increase and within two years, I received another $10,000 increase. For my next career dilemma, I wanted to become a Director. I was randomly sought after and was a offered a new position with a different company. The pay would have been a $10,000 increase; however, I wouldn't have liked my role and it would have been out of my area of interest. Uzoma taught me how to negotiate a title change and salary increase with my current position. Thus, I turned down the new opportunity and now I am a Director, I have also been given other roles, leadership training, and I received a salary increase. Uzoma is passionate about building other women up and teaching them how to brand themselves and not staying stagnant. She is the absolute best!

I met with Uzoma because I had a big business idea but I didn't know how to get started while working at my current job. Uzoma taught me that "I don't have to go from zero to hundred overnight". She helped me create a strategy of smaller steps with big action to get me closer to my goal. I was able to launch my business last October and I'm excited that I'm finally pursuing my dream! I'm so glad that I worked with Uzoma as my coach. She was such a pleasure to work with!

My [initial] top three biggest challenges were the following: 1. Personal Brand 2. Beneficial networking/effective communication 3. Working with imposter syndrome - First I gained respect your craft and the way you related to us, your audience. Your content continually spoke to me. When we finally connected I felt as if we had met already. -I enjoyed your candor and "homework" for me. Throughout our time working together you were very accessible and responsive. Some of a few strategies that have really benefited me were your detailed The Complete Guide to Building Influence on LinkedIn, the mock interview, the video feedback and my flower purse holder. I never knew I needed one until having one! (no but seriously!) Also, it was strengthening to be heard.- Your personalized touch made this experience more than worth it. Thank you for taking the time to pour into me so I can pour into others.

Since working with Uzoma, My confidence in developing my business and my ability to brand my business skyrocket! I remember feeling so stuck coming up with a personal branding statement while working with Uzoma- even though she gave me all the right tools and curriculum to do so. She coached and encouraged me yet there were times I still couldn't articulate it. She told me to keep moving forward and that when I gained clarity on the purpose of my business, my branding statement will come. I took copious notes and hung onto every one-on-one call with Uzoma. And it was within a few short months that my statement and purpose "light bulb", if you will, went off! Uzoma's expectations required me to drill down to my specific area of expertise and my niche. Even after our work together, I still hear her ask, "What do you want to be known for?" Whenever I would say, "Uzoma, when do you think I can start running my business?" She would reply, "Now! You're doing it now!" I knew I needed to make a career shift and my dream was to start my own consulting business and get support with branding. Uzoma, gave me every resource I needed to sharpen my vision and her teachings continue to develop my [personal] brand.

Uzoma is absolutely amazing to work with. She helped give me a face lift to my resume. My last interviewer said, "This resume is impressive!" Through her Facebook group, the #SheLeadsBeautifully Lounge, she encouraged me to get back on LinkedIn and that is where my current employer found me. I will be forever appreciative of her assistance.

Uzoma came into my life at a time where I was in the middle of a career slump. I barely had any goals or the slightest thought of how to enter into a new career field. Feeling an immense amount of embarrassment and shame, Uzoma provided validation in my feelings while also showing me that there’s no reason to chastise myself. She assured me that these were normal feelings that most adults have when they have potentially hit a wall of stagnation or indifference in their current career paths. She re-ignited the passion that I have for journalism/copy editing and provided me with the networks and tools needed to succeed in this field long term. I recommend Uzoma if you need the encouragement and results needed to take action over your life while helping you pinpoint the passion that you may not know you have in regards to your current or new career venture! You will not be disappointed!

I think my biggest challenge before working with Uzoma was not having a clear direction on how to make my next career move. I chose to work with Uzoma because I felt she was very personable. I enjoyed our initial consultation call where Uzoma asked me about dream jobs, what I don’t want to be doing,and career direction - including the very long term goals (my job in 5+ years). During the program, she really listened to what I was wishing to get out of the sessions and the overall experience. Her patience and belief in me was the #1 reason I enjoyed working with her. The impromptu mock interview seemed to be most helpful to me from a tactical standpoint. In addition, I learned not to jump into a new job opportunity too soon. Last, but not least, I learned new networking strategies and how to implement them using LinkedIn. Overall, we concluded the program with me really deciding what it is I want to gain from a career.
