Client Success Stories

Parker Wishik

“I would absolutely not have this job today if not for Laura Forczyk’s space career course and 1-1 coaching. It was seriously invaluable in organizing my thoughts and goals and tying my experience directly to an industry I’ve long wanted to join.”

Kim

"Investing in myself by doing this program is the best decision that I have made for myself and my career in a long time. The difference between how I felt before I started the program and now, is amazing."

Nana Gordon

“Laura really took the time to get to know my story and needs. She helped revamp my resume and discover what my dream job would be instead of just settling for any job that is available. She is quick to respond to emails. More than anything she helped me gain the confidence I needed.”

Bryné Hadnott

“Before I started working with Laura, I was unconfident and unsure of my future outside of academia after leaving a doctoral program. Laura did an incredible job of building my confidence and preparedness for the space industry through helping me identify the transferable skills and knowledge I’d gained throughout graduate school.”

Patrick Klansek

"Working with Laura’s space career coaching was an investment that paid off for me when I quickly landed my dream job at Millennium Space Systems, a Boeing Company. Laura’s personal and focused coaching while transitioning to a brand new role at a higher level in the space field helped me tailor my resume, gave me greater confidence during interviews, and enabled me to negotiate a salary and benefits package beyond my expectations."

Steve

"Working with Laura was a valuable investment. I hired Laura to help me ‘break into’ the space industry. I was worried about my lack of space tech experience, but she assured me I could leverage my prior tech experience. Laura was 100% correct. Following her guidance, I immediately started making connections with space industry leaders.”

Are you a recruiter? Can you get me a job?

A recruiter works for a company. A coach works for you. We have your best interests in mind, not a company's best interests.

Our job is to help you along your path. We can assist in many of the aspects of identifying potential employers, networking, applying for jobs, resume and cover letter critique, interview preparations, and offer negotiations. But we are not a recruiter. It’s not our job to find applicants for open positions.

We're not only here simply to land you a new job. We're here to give you the tools and confidence so you can land a new job now and anytime you need a transition in the future.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we offer payment plans for Launch Your Space Career, Boost Your Space Career, and Accelerate Your Space Career upon request.

Can you assist me with my non-space career?

No, sorry! But there are plenty of general career coaches out there who may be a great fit for you.

I don't want other people to know I worked with a career coach.

We completely understand! By default, our clients are confidential. Private and group coaching sessions are not recorded. Client identities are not published.

Some clients choose to publicly speak about their experience with us, and that’s great! But we will never reveal your name or your information to anyone else without your permission.
