I had a great time during my experience with Marina. As a newcomer to Canada, Marina was able to guide me most especially on my job search by helping me to improve my resume, guiding me with meaningful questions, and space to navigate certain steps. I found her guidance very substantial as it gave me the understanding of the various perspectives that allowed me to gauge processes better and finding my way. Furthermore, Marina has been a great thinking partner to help myself get acquainted with the professional culture here in Vancouver, which I am most in need of as a newcomer. I'm very grateful to have been coached by Marina, she's wise, thoughtful, and understanding at the same time.

Reflecting on our sessions, one of the most valuable things I’ve learned from you is the importance of reviewing my own values and principles and intentionally aligning them with the work that I do. Through our conversations, I’ve started to better connect my personal and professional growth, whether through volunteering opportunities, the way I present myself, or how I build my personal brand in a way that feels authentic and aligned with who I am. Another lesson that has deeply resonated with me is your approach to servant leadership. Seeing how this leadership style creates a respectful, collaborative, and cohesive team dynamic has reinforced many of my own values around leadership and workplace culture.

Finally, one of the biggest takeaways has been learning to stay open and flexible to opportunities. You’ve shown me how being willing to explore new paths and experiences can expand both personal and professional growth, sometimes leading to opportunities and places we could have never imagined for ourselves
