Evelyn Kaufman is my life coach. Yeah, I know it sounds girly, but here is what she did. I had dreams and plans, but I was falling into the trap of "whatever makes a paycheck." She helped me turn them into goals, and helped me define and distill those goals. By this, I mean I am no good with goals because they always end up being so far away. Well, she helped me take my long term goals, and create monthly, weekly, and even daily goals that all related to each other. Every day I know what I have to do, and what it means for me to be successful today, this week, this month, and this year. It was the best investment in my business I ever made.

I had not applied for a position in over 10 years so my resume was in desperate need of help. My overseas assignment was coming to a close and I was looking for opportunities in the US. In addition, I was attempting to move from a general management track to a HR track. I was scheduled to attend a conference that would allow me to interview with several major companies. Evelyn reworked my resume in less than 48 hours so I could meet their posting deadline.
Armed with my new resume and cover letter I applied for 7 positions and 5 of those companies wanted to interview me. I also received an inquiry from two other companies that I did not even apply for. My new resume showcased my value and placed a spotlight on my transferable skills. This opened some incredible opportunities. I'm excited about the future!!! Thanks Evelyn!

My ability to learn and my never-ending pursuit for personal development have made me successful. I try to learn from every good and bad experience I have, both in my career and in my personal life. I learn from every business deal we win, and I probably learn even more from every business deal we don’t win... I am a big believer in coaching services. Evelyn Kaufman at Journey to Fullness has coached me for several years. A lot of my learning and development can be attributed to her efforts. If we have someone to help us deal with these obstacles one step at a time, then they don't seem so big after all!

I started working with Evelyn because I was unhappy in the career I'd chosen. Evelyn helped me identify career options that are in sync my core values, skills and natural talents. I have a plan in place and am now in the process of pursuing my dream job!
— Felecia, Personal Trainer - Kentucky
I was entering the job market after a six year absence, at age 51, with some marketable clerical skills. However, I knew that I had a major stumbling block in the interview process. I have always felt that this was my major weakness in obtaining a job. Yet, it was the only process I knew. I also knew I would need to overcome it in order to be competitive.
Evelyn easily asked questions that assessed my strengths and she was able to effectively communicate those skills on my resume. The resume itself was sharp, eye catching, and gave prospective employers a much needed quick, concise glance of my skills.
I was able to establish the skills and confidence I needed to eagerly, comfortably, and confidently attack the interview process.
I must admit I was somewhat intimidated by the thought of a Life Coach, but you made it an inviting and welcoming process. I really can't thank you enough for your help. I know that your coaching made the difference in both my confidence and comfort level, my willingness to assess the job as a fit for myself, and I believe it has had a direct effect on the amount of time it took me to find a position. Thank you again.

I
have come to realize as a result of your coaching that every
problem DOES have a solution. We often feel "stuck"
- that we can't move forward with our goals because of an
obstacle that seems too big to overcome. But
if we have someone to help us deal with these obstacles
one step at a time, then they don't seem so big after all!

As
a result of coaching with Evelyn
I am taking control
of my life and not waiting for others to come up with that
plan for me. I know that I
used to wait for others to "recognize" what I
could bring to the table. Now I willing to set the table
myself and "let my light so shine" because I know
that nothing will change unless I do. Now,
I still have to B-R-E-A-T-H-E when I take the steps, but
find that I am excited at the possibilities and the outcomes.
— Grace, Director - Georgia
I
would say that I received a true cheer leader and supporter
in you. I feel as though you saw the progress and vision
even when I was not seeing it. You have provided inspiration,
relief and energy to what goals I have wanted to achieve.
You also provided patience, gentle strength and empathy.
I have walked away with knowing someone believes in me,
even when I may not believe in myself. I walked away with
vision. The biggest
thing I have walked away with and what I am most grateful
for is that you helped me see that my dreams are alive and
possible. I had given up on some dreams that you helped
me rekindle and furthermore, hope for. I have started to
achieve those dreams. It set a stage for other desires and
creative ideas to come to the forefront. You
have provided keen suggestions and mentoring; a safe harbor
to feel confusion and cluelessness in - something the cycle
of starting a business often brings. You provided me with
connection to myself and jump-started me into the coaching
world; a world that was extremely foreign to me. You provided
clear coaching boundaries and distinctions and helpful insights
for my business.
You provided prayer when I asked for it and when I did not
ask for it. You were and are always there and that is priceless.
The past 2 years have been full of roller coasters and you
validated that in my life...never pushing me where I was
not ready to go. I have walked away with constant and consistent
encouragement.
Sometimes I feel alone in the coaching world despite other
coaches I meet, but having you to talk to and email helps
me feel more at home. I am talking to someone who encourages
me in my work, not what I "should" be doing. You
make me feel more at home with my work because you honor
my calling as a person and coach.
Your assignments
moved me, your efficiency brought me clarity.
I have walked away with a personal advocate for the work
I am doing. I have walked away with your honest investment
in me and my work. I
have walked away with possibility and direction - something
I never had before.

This
is just a letter of thanks for the very effective coaching
that you helped me with these past several months. You
really helped me to focus on what was important in my life,
and you brought clarity to what my goals needed to be.
I found it tremendously helpful just to have you listen
and reflect back to me what I was saying. I think it was
important to have you validate some of my thoughts in a
non-threatening way that allowed me to share my hopes and
dreams for the future. I
would recommend you to anyone who was looking for something
more in their life, and who just feels stuck like I was.
The tools and resources provided were key in helping
me move forward with confidence. I am hopeful and excited
about the future and very grateful to have worked with you.
Best Wishes for a great New Year!
Sincerely,
— Diana, Independent

You
have been someone on the outside looking in, getting me
through the maze of life to achieve personal success.

Evelyn
provided me with the resources to set goals for my career
and the confidence that I could achieve my dreams!
— Gina, Training
Development Analyst - Kentucky
You
have been such a special and important part of my life for
these many months. I can
see that I have grown and adapted a new can-do attitude
and way of thinking that I so desperately needed.
You kept me focused and clear headed when I needed it most,
and you very gently held me accountable for the tasks I
said I would tackle and accomplish.
You
have such a gift for coaching and a true passion to help
others. Your goodness just overflows over the phone
and through email.
There was never
a session that didn't end with my feeling positive, motivated,
uplifted, guided, focused, talented and ready to pursue
my dream. Having the coaching sessions with you these past
months allowed me to discover my talents and myself. I would
not have done this without your help.
I would never have pursued my dream without your assistance
to unearth it and guide me.
So often something
is said or written that reminds me of what you either have
told me or would tell me in particular situations. I smile.
Every time I think about
the gremlin, I smile and I tell him to shut up, that he
has no idea what he is talking about!
When we covered
the talent section, I remember emphatically telling you
I didn't have any talents. I
learned I have many talents! I have talents!
I thank you so
much and want you to know you'll always hold a special place
in my heart, and I won't forget all you have taught me.
I would love to tell others
what a great coach you are.
Very best regards,
— Gina, Marketing & Conference Manager - New York
Evelyn
gave me the encouragement and positive feedback I needed
to move forward with my career & personal life.
Through exercises and instruction she made me aware of all
that I have to offer to others and to myself.
In
essence, she provided a light to shine on my path into the
future and she equipped me with what I needed to
keep this light shining bright when she passed the light
to me.
Thanks!!
— Kelsey, Circulation Manager - New York
Evelyn
did a great job getting me to consider my options after
retirement. She helped
me look introspectively and decide next steps based on what
really fulfilled me.

The
guidance and insight Evelyn provided during our 6-week journey
together was both exciting and challenging. I
couldn't have done this work on my own.... having someone
to be accountable to gave me just what I needed to consistently
make progress each week... and discover myself in
the process! I feel that I have more clarity now, and a
solid direction to move in so that I can reach out and live
the mission I am here to live....

With
Evelyn's help, I have been able to create a clear vision
of what my role in life is. The text and workbook
provided a chance to explore issues that prevented me from
focusing on my goals. Evelyn's insight and guidance made
the process exciting and rewarding. Thanks again, Evelyn.

Working
on my personal mission and vision statement with Evelyn
provided a great vehicle. It forced me to work on my mission
and vision statement and stay focused. The weekly assignments,
which were in bite-size pieces, were great. Evelyn provided
a great deal of insight and support. My
mission and vision statement provides the flavor and centering
for my practice, my website, my speeches, and my life.
— Vanessa, Coach - California
Evelyn
Kaufman is a Christ-centered, compassionate and gifted coach.
With her warm and loving manner, she is able to guide and
facilitate self discovery and clarify direction. I emerged
from her program very clear on my mission and vision and
with tremendous peace about my life. I
recommend her program to anyone who has ever wanted more
meaning and direction in their life.
