you've really gotten in my head!

my [DDI] results were off the charts and one of the highest scores they've had
“I cannot thank you enough, Shauna. I know that the preparation you gave me was the difference. DDI [all day leadership development assessment] was as draining as taking the bar. Preparation was an absolute. I would not have been able to do it without the talking points and questions we prepared. We even anticipated the part that was supposed to be a surprise. I was told my results were off the charts and one of the highest scores they've had. You are officially a DDI expert!”
– Litigation counsel at one of the world's leading financial institutions

they were so impressed that they cancelled the last rounds of interviews and just gave me an offer
“Shauna, I applied online to Microsoft--my dream employer--and they reached out to me. I followed all your recommendations during the preliminary interviews and now I'm in the final rounds! I also got a job offer last December. They were so impressed that they cancelled the last rounds of interviews and just gave me an offer.”
– Foreign-trained commercial transactions attorney
such a helpful conversation
“This has been such a helpful conversation, Jared. I would have never thought about using your JDA to hedge against career missteps.”

Jared helped me realize...
“Jared helped me realize that even after nearly twenty years, I still find myself thinking about job searching as a post-law school competition instead of considering how I might actually feel about a role.”
– CLO of a recently acquired retail financing company
thank you so much for your thorough feedback
“Thank you so much for your thorough feedback, Julie. I will think more about what we’ve discussed and your feedback before deciding my next steps. Thank you so much for your time.”

I was practically offered the job on the spot

– GC-track Fortune 15 lawyer
I had no idea how complex a job search could be
“Wow, Jared. You've given me a ton to think about. I had no idea how complex a job search could be, and certainly hadn't thought about all of the nuances about someone at my stage in the game. It was really enlightening. I'm going to review the sites you suggested and do the exercises, and likely get back to you.”
– Equity Partner
I learn so much every time
“This is my third hour working with Jared and I learn so much every time; not only about myself, but about myself as a lawyer in business. Thank you so much. I really enjoy every minute.”
– Senior IP Associate for an Am Law 200 law firm
there's a lot of discernment here
“When we go away between sessions, Jared, it causes me to think. There's a lot of discernment here, both in terms of what I can do but also what I might be able to do. Things I'd have never thought about on my own.”
– IP commercialization strategist and corporate advisor
I foolishly waited to do this
“The JDA is enlightening, Jared. I foolishly waited to do this and now I'm realizing, wow, there's a lot of work in just finding the appropriate job description and roles. It's not like there's fifty of these jobs floating around just because I'm ready to make a move.”
– Am Law 200 partner specializing in policy and regulatory advising, commercial transactions, and disputes
Jared's JDA is super
“Jared's JDA is super. Working with him, I can see why the process makes sense. A typical person says, ‘Let me go throw some stuff on paper,’ but this helps a person think about where their skill set and interests are a fit. Or maybe not a fit.”
– Technology partner for an Am Law 200 law firm
going to offer me the role of Director of Legal Services
“Hi Shauna — I just got off the phone with [Company]. They are going to offer me the role of Director of Legal Services. I am very appreciative of all of your help... Many thanks.”
