Claudia is an excellent career coach. She perfectly balances listening and advisement as she guides you toward your career goals. She provides immediate action item recommendations as well as providing a sounding board for your ideas as you navigate the next steps in your professional development. Most importantly, her advice is customized and specific to you rather than general career advice. I strongly recommend her coaching for anyone looking for guidance on their career path.
