Working with Suzie is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. I was burnt out after years of ill-fitting jobs and constant job searching, and I wasn’t sure if a coach would be able to help me. She met me where I was at, and guided me step by step through rediscovering and centering my desires and skills. This holistic approach to job searching was exactly what I needed, and has made a profound impact not only on my career but on me as a person. I’ve gone from feeling lost and hopeless to genuinely confident, and I’m on track to make more money than I did at any previous job. I cannot overstate how grateful I am, and how lucky I feel, to be able to work with Suzie to find joy in my life and my work again.

I started Suzie's The Narrative Solution course a month after leaving my last job due to burnout. One month (one month!) into the course, I had not one, but two job offers at hand, both of which included 25%+ salary raises. The core of the course's success lies in its holistic and humanistic approach to finding one's next position. Rather than focusing on a mechanical, soulless grind of applying to position after position, The Narrative Solution distills job-searching to its essential components. What brings you joy? What is your story? How did you get to where you are? Where do you want to go? Why? Overall, highly recommended!

I was applying for jobs below my ability level, I believe because I was afraid of leveling up in terms of both money and responsibility. I also had been living in the shadow of my boss of over 20 years.

[With Suzie] I was able to identify and get over some unconscious discomfort I had about making money. I also realized I had been trying to pivot away from the very areas where my skills and experience lay. As soon as I focused my resume and search on what I really wanted to do, I started getting more interviews for higher-paying jobs and eventually landed a really exciting job making $35K more than I was before.

Suzie is incredibly intuitive and able to pick up on subtle "BS cues" clients may give off, where their facial expressions or body language might not match up with what they're saying. Her focus on the "storytelling" aspect of job-hunting (and life!) really resonated with me, too. I had been telling myself some wonky stories throughout the process. Her sense of humor also really jibed with mine. I've continued making positive *life* changes since our sessions, even though we were primarily focused on my career.

It's worth every penny, and you'll likely make that and more back with your shiny new job.

I wanted to transition out of academia to an industry job. Suzie gave bite-sized pieces of very thoughtful feedback. These ranged from being more aware of the impact of my physical state on my emotions and thoughts, to practical advice about managing my emotions and expectations. Small and big things about how I live or performed in interviews changed thanks to these nuggets of advice. Suzie is approachable, honest and thoughtful… She didn't waste time on superficialities, and I really appreciated that.

I am officially starting my third semester of Acupuncture school, maintaining a shockingly good GPA, managing my health, and working part time at the cutest family-run bakery. You taught me so much about how to center my life around myself and make sure my work in this world was worth it. School hasn't been without its drawbacks, but each day I'm feeling sure that I'm on the right track. Thank you thank you for the work you do and the guidance you've given me.

Suzie has been a pleasure to work with, being a good humored and steadfast mentor through some of the most complicated pivots of my life. Through her guidance I've been able to practice various methods for coping with drastic changes affecting my capacity to continue working, all while reevaluating my goals to launch into a better quality of life for myself. She has patiently talked me through reconsidering various thorny work situations and quickly helped me revise my resume, all while inspiring the confidence to tackle any challenge with grace and good humor. Thank you Suzie!!!

I left a really horrid abusive job in February, collapsed mentally and took 3 months of FMLA. In May, I found the courage to get a lawyer to negotiate a severance. In June… I started working with Suzie Soloviev and she has been so truly amazing! She's edited my resume, cover letter, helped me prep for interviews and kept me grounded and focused. Weekly sessions with her kept me going and helped me gain the confidence my old job took from me. Less than 2 months into working with her, I was in the running for 8 different jobs and received an offer in a leadership role at an org I really respect. Of course, then negotiated salary like a boss thanks to Suzie… I've learnt so much here and I am really grateful.

When I signed up for Suzie’s services, it’s because I saw a testimonial from an alum of my college on a message board. She described Suzie as being a lifeline who helped her land her dream job. That’s what I needed, a lifeline. I was in a toxic work environment and suffering from extreme burnout and exhaustion. I felt overwhelmed and the toxicity at work was affecting my self-esteem. Each week, I received material to read and assignments to complete. They were just long enough to provide meaningful content, but short enough that I completed them despite working 60-70 hours per week.

Suzie’s coaching helped me land my dream professional opportunity. It is an executive role with a Fortune 10 company at a salary that exceeded my expectations, along with an almost 6-month salary signing bonus she helped me negotiate. Suzie was there with me throughout my nine interviews, giving me helpful tips on how to navigate a very lengthy process.

Getting this result took a lot of work. Suzie was there to guide me, coach me, and support me through this process. She is a results-driven coach who understands that you can only reach your goal if you stay committed to regularly completing the tasks she assigns. Suzie helps you change your perspective. She helps you understand you are worthy of a positive work environment and sets you on the path of finding one while also identifying your purpose.

I highly recommend Suzie’s services. Not only do I have a new position, I have newfound skills that help me protect my time, mindset, and overall well-being. Suzie changed my life for the better, and I am forever thankful.

Before I started with Suzie, I was a total mess of overcommitment and under-delivery. I had more projects than any sane person should even think of, let alone accomplish. Suzie helped me put everything into focus, herded me gently when I went astray, and kept me committed to the core ideas that made my business unique, interesting, and profitable. Since I started coaching, my income has increased almost 2.5x in about two years and I’ve even had a novel optioned in Hollywood! In short: without Suzie—chaos. With Suzie—sky’s the limit!

Before I started working with Suzie, I was a stressed out, emotionally-drained, underpaid scientist who had just transitioned from academia to industry. I had tried exercising away my misery, but no matter how many miles I walked, I couldn't get away from the awful feeling that came from knowing that I was working more hours than ever and being paid 50% below my market value. 

I asked Suzie to help me advocate for myself in my new work environment, and she did that and so much more. After a couple months of working with Suzie, I not only doubled my salary, but also learned how to recognize and change the thoughts that caused me to settle for so much less than I deserved.  The lessons that I learned from Suzie have extended far beyond how I feel about my job. Thanks to Suzie, I have the tools to build a life that brings me joy. 

This experience is going to radically change your life…Every day I uncover new ways that [Suzie’s] helped me change for the better.

Suzie really helped me at a time of uncertainty in my life. I had just closed my business and was looking to enter the workforce as an employee for the first time in 8 years. Working with her, I was able to clearly and concisely consolidate my experiences into a strong resume. Through her coaching I became more confident that what I learned working for myself was transferable to a completely different career. After I received an offer, Suzie helped me negotiate the top of the salary range.

I'm naturally a skeptical person and was very wary of spending money on coaching. However, working with Suzie was worth the investment and I doubt I would be where I am today with her help.

Before I started working with Suzie, my self-esteem and confidence were at an all-time low: I had been out of work for two years and gained a considerable amount of  weight, I was always seeking validation from others and deriving my self-worth from the way I thought they saw me. Moreover, after multiple rejections, I had also lost confidence in how I was presenting myself on my resume and cover letter.  

After working with Suzie, I have learned to love myself and I feel more confident in the person I have become. I have learned that my confidence must come from inward and not outward. After working on my resume and cover letter with Suzie, I got a boost of confidence about myself not just because it was better – which it was, but the fact that I could do that helped me realize that I have a lot of untapped potential.

It’s been over three months and I have received very positive feedback about my resume and cover letter. I am more confident in my own skin and very hopeful for the future.

I really enjoyed working with Suzie. Before I began working with her, I felt I had the right transferable skills to switch industries, but I wasn’t able to tell my story and seek out the right roles. Suzie helped me strategize while building my confidence. I also really appreciated her approach to thinking about Must Haves/Not Haves; I don’t think I would have sought out a role that met these without this approach. Furthermore, thinking about how to address my life outside of work has and will continue to be helpful. I want more balance and to make work important, but not the sole focus of my life. Thank you, Suzie, for helping me hone in on what’s most important and for helping me find a new job that feels like a great fit.
