FAQs About Career Coaching
Why is career coaching such a significant investment?
Clients repeatedly say their coaching investment paid for itself many times over — through job offers, promotions, salary increases, and confidence that created long-term career stability. One client said she “landed her dream job and doubled her income,” while another shared that coaching “cut months off my job search and opened doors I didn’t know were possible.” paNASH's rates are based on the results coaching creates, not by the hour.What if I’m not ready for a big commitment?
That’s completely normal. Many clients start with the Starter package and upgrade once they gain clarity and momentum. One client described starting small as “the best decision I made — I upgraded within two weeks because the progress was so fast.”What if I need a payment plan?
Payment plans are available for every package. Clients often combine payment plans with employer reimbursement or professional development funds, making coaching more manageable while still giving them the support they need.What if coaching doesn’t work for me?
Every coaching experience is customized to your goals, strengths, personality, and situation. Clients frequently say they “felt understood for the first time” and that coaching gave them direction they “couldn’t have found on their own.”What if I don’t have time for coaching?
We work at your pace. Several busy clients — including executives, educators, and parents — shared that the structure kept them focused and helped them achieve more in less time. One noted that coaching “saved me countless hours of frustration.”How fast will I see results?
Results vary, especially based on industry, but many clients see changes within the first few weeks. Reviews frequently describe “early clarity,” “quick confidence boosts,” and “interviews happening faster than expected.”What if my spouse/partner isn’t sure about the investment?
You’ll have a clear summary of the value, ROI, and expected outcomes to discuss with them — and we can schedule a follow-up call to answer any additional questions. Several clients shared that once their partner understood the clarity and relief coaching brings, the support was immediate.What if I’ve already tried job searching or changing careers on my own?
Almost every client who hires me has tried going it alone first. They often say, “I wish I had come to you sooner,” or “You helped me see things I couldn’t see from inside my own struggle.”What if I’m unsure which services or package I need?
You don’t have to decide on your own. During your Path-to-Purpose consultation, we’ll walk through your goals and timeline so I can recommend the service package that best fits your season of life. Many clients say this clarity alone helped them move forward with confidence.What if I need to pause or life changes unexpectedly?
Your coaching is flexible. Sessions can shift tracks as your needs evolve, and the Career Success Package sessions never expire. Clients appreciate knowing they have stability and support regardless of what changes arise.Google Reviews

Client Testimonials
#paNASHsuccess
When you’re between jobs and have no income for career coaching, it seems like an indulgence. But it is so worth it because I received really good, quality advice and materials from Lori.
Kathryn F.
#paNASHsuccess
Having researched other career coaches, Lori’s style was much more personal. When you are on this path, you need someone who will have a conversation with you rather than just question you. Lori listens and offers feedback that makes you feel like you are on the right path with a friend in tow for support

Lori’s help was a God-send! I’d been looking for a job for over 6 months when I reached out to her. She taught me some things I’d been doing wrong and how to correct them.

With Lori’s assistance, I got a job closer to home reducing my commute time. Not only that, I was able to use the skills she provided me to negotiate a salary that was higher than the amount listed in the job ad!

I got the job! Thanks to Lori’s interview coaching, I’m now doing social media (my passion) for a toy company!

#paNASHsuccess
A specific job interview tactic Lori worked with me on turned out to be a pot of gold!
It was the best hidden secret for winning job interviews. I would have never known about it if I hadn’t signed up for coaching services

Because of Lori’s great advice and understanding of the job market, l was able to not only land a new job, but a job that I am passionate about too. It’s difficult to afford a coach at times, but Lori’s price was just right and what I paid was worth every penny.

The end of the previous year was a challenge for me career-wise, but Lori helped me greatly and I learned a lot from her.

#paNASHsuccess
I’m now actively engaged in my new self-employed life. I’m getting more work than I can handle. I was also able to take advantage of an offer by an international publisher to write a book on a topic I’m passionate about entitled ‘The Golden Ratio: The Divine Beauty of Mathematics.’ Thank you Lori for your help in launching my 2nd career!

#paNASHsuccess
I’d been in the same frame of mind for way too long and was having a hard time breaking out of it. Lori showed me how and helped me remove my blinders. She showed me how to overcome my fears and hangups about networking. As a result, I’ve grown my network and developed a lot of momentum of doors opening in places I hadn’t imagined.

#paNASHsuccess
I had a job opportunity arise just as all the results from my sessions were beginning to manifest. I was able to enter the interview process with confidence, speak articulately about my passions, and demonstrate my value, both as an employee and a person.
Randy B.
#paNASHsuccess
One of the interview tactics Lori recommended really improved both my confidence and the company’s interest in me. It was such a great suggestion that came with great results! I find each of our sessions to be very eye-opening experiences.

If I hadn’t taken the time to sit down with Lori and work with her, I never would’ve discovered or explored the resources that have led me to an exciting new career path as a voice-over artist.
Ashley H.
#paNASHsuccess
Just from what I learned in my first coaching session justified the money spent! My confidence level went from a ‘4’ to an ‘8’.

Lori adapted to my needs and met me where I was in my journey. She listened and provided a useful framework and strategy for moving forward into new territory. Her fees are very reasonable and fair.
