TESTIMONIALS
Brian
Neal has been coaching me since September 2017 and has helped me with developing my career and meeting my personal goals. Neal is an engaging career coach who has highlighted my potential and how it can best be tapped. By asking thoughtful questions, Neal helps me realize the actions I must take to achieve my goals.
More specifically, Neal's coaching gave me confidence to pursue and obtain a new position to further develop my leadership skills and accelerate my career. This confidence was achieved through the time we spent identifying my ideal job and then planning the necessary steps to get me closer to that job. As a result, I now am leading a team of engineers and performing work that is better aligned with my strengths and interests.
Based on these experiences, I recommend Neal as a career coach.

Neal has been instrumental in helping me transition from the nonprofit world into the tech space in a time where I am starting my career and have struggled to know what jobs are best suited for me. Through conversation and discernment of my life and career goals, I have been able to think more critically about how to make sure my resume and interactions reflect who I am and my personal values, as well as what skills I bring to the workplace. He asks insightful and deliberate questions that push me to reflect on my career goals as well as helping and encouraging me to make a plan with practical and actionable steps. His professionalism and knowledge about career movement and personal growth gave me skills that I am not only using inside my job, but also that can be applied to my life in general. I'd highly recommend career coaching with Truth Engaged no matter where you are in your career, or what industry you are in!

I hired Neal to help me confidently begin the application process to return to the aerospace workforce after a long sabbatical. He helped me clearly define what I was looking to accomplish in our coaching sessions, and we laid out a plan to get there. When we went through my resume, he provided excellent, targeted feedback. He asked probing questions that helped unearth my unique story and guided me on how to best present it on paper to recruiters and hiring managers. Neal's superior coaching skills helped me land my dream job at Blue Origin after only a few weeks on the job hunt! I thoroughly enjoyed working with him!

I spoke with multiple career coaches during my initial search for someone who would help me make sure I was heading in the right direction with my career, and Neal stood out to me with his prior industry experience, proving to me he had walked the walk and could relate to where I was at with my career currently. From our first introductory conversation, I could tell he was smart, he knew what he was talking about, and he was passionate about being a career coach. We were also laughing from the get-go, and we quickly established a rapport that made me excited for each coaching session. Throughout my work with him, I found Neal to be a true coach. He guided me along my career journey analysis with a curriculum customized to my needs rather than forcing me to follow a rigid, one-size-fits-all framework. He also had solid book recommendations that helped me solidify what I wanted to do in life, and he even guided me in figuring out which city I wanted to move to and call home when I was stuck on whether I should move or stay in the city I was living in then. I highly recommend Neal as a career coach to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable, passionate, and down-to-earth guide who allows you to create with him a customized curriculum to help you make sure you're heading in the right direction with your career.

I feel fortunate to have had Neal as a career coach a few years ago, as his coaching has long lasting impacts for me. Some of the questions Neal had asked during our coaching sessions are great tools that I can still use today. Some aspects that I particularly enjoyed about being coached by Neal were the structure, expectations set in place, and how he will take the time to learn about you in order to ask you fitting questions. During each coaching session, Neal listens very well to the topic I would bring, and is able to ask questions that really made me think! He helped me come to conclusions on my career path, and encouraged me to really think about what I hope to gain from certain opportunities at work. Neal's thoughtful style of coaching helped me take control of my career. I'm very grateful for the great coaching and questions from Neal, as they are great for some critical thinking and self-reflection. I highly recommend Neal as a career coach!

I have had the pleasure of having Neal as my career coach for several months. I had been in a role for several years and had begun to question the career path that I was on. Neal has a keen ability to help you recognize what your own strengths, weaknesses and motivations are by asking tough questions that make you better understand yourself. After working with Neal I realized where I wanted my career to go, created a clear action plan and was able to shape my current role to help get me relevant experience I desired. I would recommend Neil to anyone looking for guidance to define or progress their career path.
