“Yuan was an amazing ally, supporting me through a transition point in my career. She ultimately helped flip my mindset from the rut I was in to excitement and confidence speaking about my work as well as reenergizing my passion for design.
Coaching sessions with Yuan were a perfect balance of challenging and critical yet encouraging and supportive. It felt like therapy for my career. We dissected my portfolio, did mock interviews, and navigated a job search. The outcome for me was a more senior full-time role with lots of opportunities plus the skills and lessons I learned from our coaching.”
