unsolicited opportunities have started to come my way

“Thank you for challenging me Julie, for really forcing me to articulate what I want, and what I do. It's forced me to be more intentional and deliberate about my career. It has sometimes been painful, but also cathartic. And unsolicited opportunities have started to come my way. I've been asked to apply to be my law school's dean, as well as for several board positions. These opportunities have forced me to further think about what I ultimately want.”

it's like therapy in a way...this is fun

“Your questions underscore why I need you, Jared. It's like therapy in a way. You're bringing out things I've forgotten, haven't considered as important, or maybe haven't even wanted to acknowledge. I certainly had no idea how to talk about these things, much less put them on paper as a leadership story. This is fun.”

I accepted a new position and will start at the beginning of the year

“Shauna, I wanted to send you a separate email to say thank you. I accepted a new position and will start at the beginning of the year. You were right about positions not being published.

the work we just did is astounding...we were on fire

“The work we just did is astounding, Jared! We were on fire! I can't tell you how excited I am [to realize that] I've actually done a ton in this most recent role. I also hadn't realized how much value I bring to the C-suite and the company as a whole, and I would have *never* thought about creating a through-line across my entire career.”

you're finding a place to put things in my résumé that I've always felt were important

“I like the way you're writing this, Jared. You're finding a place to put things in my résumé that I've always felt were important, but didn't know how to position because they're tangential.”

helping me tell my story in a way that is really getting me noticed

“Hi Jared, I've really been hitting the job search hard these last few weeks. I wanted to share a really cool moment with you. I sent my résumé to a long-time biotech exec who works heavily with a couple really great VC firms. He was impressed with the résumé and sent it along to a partner at one of those firms. The partner was immediately impressed and said he could use me right away with a company where he recently replaced the management team. We'll see where it goes but I feel like getting over the hurdle of a résumé was a huge step in the right direction. Not to mention these guys work with some really great lawyers. Thanks for helping me tell my story in a way that is really getting me noticed! (I'm also excited for my husband to work with you!)”
