“I’ve been thinking about getting a career coach for many years now. I work in a creative industry and I wondered about working with someone who is not connected to my industry just to have a different perspective. I met Valentina through Catholic Women in Business and was impressed with a presentation she gave, and I’ve been listening to her podcast ever since.

I knew that I needed help with my LinkedIn profile, which I have totally ignored for many years, and thought that maybe this could be my first step into exploring career coaching in general and specifically with Valentina. I am so glad I took this step. Valentina has transformed my LinkedIn page and helped me reframe my thinking about sharing my work and accomplishments. Specifically, she reminded me that these are all God given and anytime I share about my work it's really like my own Magnificat that points to God’s glory.

Valentina was very thorough and did a lot of research about my industry in order to provide the best changes to my LinkedIn profile. She helped rework every section and get my LinkedIn current in a way that is very detailed but easy to read – she had great recommendations and did the hard work of making those changes for me. She certainly put in more time and effort than she was paid for. Valentina is also very encouraging and insightful which makes her a delight to work with. I highly recommend her!!”

“After spending many years raising a family, I had the privilege of working with Valentina to help prepare my resume for the job market.  What seemed like a formidable project at first, became so much easier as Valentina strove to understand my situation and background and worked to produce a resume that reflected who I am and what I have to offer.  She has a very skilled and thoughtful approach in helping her clients.”

“Looking for a new job was very overwhelming, but after talking through options with Valentina, and then taking her class on interviews, I was able to walk confidently into several interviews. The class helped me know going into the interviews what to expect, what employers were looking for, and how to answer common questions well. It was such a huge help and reduced the stress around preparing for interviews so much! I’m so grateful!”

“I had the pleasure of using Valentina's resume revitalization service. Valentina has the innate ability to listen with empathy and can intuitively ask pivotal questions to bring one's experiences and skills to life.

Valentina's guided questions allowed me to visualize a more well-rounded picture of the work I had done in my current/previous roles and positioned my resume competitively amongst the other candidates.

Valentina is professional, friendly, accurate, and most importantly, her knowledge as a career coach truly uplifts and impacts her clients. She has positively influenced my career transition goals by revitalizing my resume and connecting me with individuals I can network with within my industry of choice.

I highly recommend Valentina for all your career consulting needs!”

“Valentina helped guide me with her deep insight in the Catholic faith. By the end of our session, I felt peace and clarity regarding the career and spiritual questions I had in my life.

Going forward, I know that she is a trusted source of guidance I can turn to for further help regarding the many questions life brings.”

“I've known Valentina for years, and was lucky enough to use her Interview Practice service for an upcoming interview. Valentina has always been one of the most empathic people I know, and I truly believe it's her empathy that allows her to be successful as a career coach.

During our consultation, she listened to what I wanted to get out of our session, thoroughly reading through my resume and the job description, even going as far as researching the company itself. During our coaching session, she gave advice on how to approach the interview process and used personalized questions that fit the company and job description for our practice interview.

She not only has the skills and range of experiences to back up her coaching services, but she also has the depth, sensitivity, and genuine love of her job to walk with you in your journey."

“Around the same time I was going to move and begin my job search, I stumbled upon Valentina's 4-part series through Fiat Career Coaching. It was a Godsend at the time. She started at the foundation - our identity in the Lord - and then moved into the practicals, such as resume building and creating a LinkedIn profile. Using what I learned from these classes, I felt more confident applying to jobs, and eventually I found a job fit for me.

Valentina herself is also a gift, and she gives her heart through Fiat Career Coaching. She's relatable - having gone through the struggle of job searching, striving to find something that resonates from deep within. And in a beautiful way, she shares her wisdom and experience.”
