Before I called you, I was at a crossroads in my career. I was at a point where I needed to make a decision. I was making good money at my job, but was not really satisfied.
Through your coaching, you confirmed what I was feeling. I received validation that I was on the right path. I needed confirmation and someone to bounce ideas off. You were that person. I did not think I knew what I wanted, but I did. Your questions helped me get the answers that I needed. The stories about other people who did what I wanted to accomplish, were inspirational and I they gave me hope.
The result is I made a decision. I am pursing different schools and will be going back for my Masters Degree. I’ve realized that I want to be an engineer. Life is more than a paycheck. I have to love what I do, and be passionate about my work.

Investing in myself and using a Career Coach has been one of the greatest rates of return that I have ever gotten from an investment. You have gone above and beyond my expectations of what it is like to work with a coach. I am so glad that I spotted your article in the 6figurejobs.com website.
When you and I started working together, I knew that I was unhappy in my career, but I was unable to define what would make me happy. Over the past couple of months, I have discovered that my true passion is to become a trainer and a writer. I cannot believe that this is actually happening! I am a better writer and person because of you.
Surpass Your Dreams is a perfect name for your business because I have surpassed my dreams in so many ways. You have taught me things that I never imagined I would have needed in order to be successful, such as holding myself accountable for my actions, being in integrity with myself, and putting down what I want to accomplish in writing.
You have taught me that there are reasons why God has put us on this planet, and that I have a talent to help others. You are certainly maximizing your talents that God has intended for you to use, which is coaching. Thank you for being the dynamite coach that you are.

I engaged Deborah Brown to be my Career Coach because I was struggling with a variety of issues ranging from unhappiness at previous jobs to confusion of which career path I should take next. In addition, I was unemployed and needed to find a job quickly.
I found Deborah’s services to be extremely beneficial, and her coaching helped me to find clarification in many areas. Initially, she guided me to combat my fears of approaching strangers. This was necessary since I was transitioning from a back office-style-personality to a sales person, selling myself and my consulting services. In doing so, she expertly pulled out of me the answers and path that were true for me and my situation. She guided me to analyze the core of my fear, and related issues of poor communication.
With her help, I was soon able to trust my abilities and get several job interviews. I was able to discuss with her my job options, and I LANDED A 6-FIGURE JOB IN SIX WEEKS.
This position will allow me to utilize both my technical and creative skills. Plus, it will ultimately help me build my own business one day.
Deborah helped ME find clarity, rather than her finding clarity FOR me. She taught me to be comfortable with myself first, and importantly, not to be afraid to ask questions when I am in doubt, rather than give the wrong answer just to please others. I highly recommend Deborah’s services!

Performance Consultant
Durham, NC
Thank you for your coaching. I still cannot believe the progress I am making. I feel like I have wings. It is incredible.
Since we began working together, I’ve become more aware of who I am and what I want. I am confident, and have the courage to take risks. I have focus, direction, and I can visualize being in a career that will make me happy. This was a big step for me, one I was trying to make unsuccessfully on my own for a long time.
Thank you coach for believing in me, pushing me, and being my friend. Your support and affirmations have made a tremendous difference in my life.

Project Manager
Salinas, CA
I had been searching for a job for almost two years, using all the methods explained in the 'how-to' books and getting pretty much nowhere. My confidence in my skills and experience was at an all time low when I decided to enroll in Deborah's three month coaching program as a last ditch effort.
Working with Deborah allowed me to see how my negative thoughts were keeping me from attaining my goals. Deborah gave me the confidence and tools to search for a job in my field and 1 1/2 MONTHS LATER, I LANDED A GREAT JOB WITH GREAT PAY. I couldn't have done it without Deborah's support!

If I had again the $1,000 I had spent previously on employment agencies, it would have been much better spent and been of higher value if I used the money for coaching sessions with you.
Thank you for all your hard work on our telephone conversations together. You listened and replied well, you got in my face appropriately, and above all what I like is that you were non-threatening and respected where I was at in this point in my life. Some of your enlightening words like “Keep Moving” and “The Universe Is Trying To Tell You Something,” rang true with me, and I appreciated all your feedback. I took copious notes during our calls, and I will remember to stay open to all possibilities.
I came to you hoping to clarify my direction and come up with options and this is exactly what happened. You said that what I become, or aspire to, is really up to me. I know that little gem is common sense for most people, but it was a turning point for me.
You kept pointing out that the answers I seek are not going to come from the outside, but are inside of me. I must have had a good force field around them because I was unable to find them.
I knew that my answer was somewhere. Does the client have the answer? Or, does the coach? How about a book? The point here is it doesn't really matter where the answer was, but there was an answer, and it was up to me to find it.
Thanks also for the additional articles on job searching. They were excellent, and provided valuable information. They meant a lot to me when you sent them.
I hope your coaching practice takes you to great heights. You are a true success in my eyes.

You have been a treasure to my career. Before we started working together, I was trying to change careers on my own, without direction. I would venture out here and there and gain a little success. But then, I would go back to the comforts of my former position. Out of your commitment and coaching expertise, I don't say that I am TRYING to change careers anymore. I say that I HAVE successfully made the transition. I went from being a computer programmer to a political aide. I know I made this move because you were able to see/hear what I couldn't see/hear, that this was my dream job. You are an amazing listener!
If our coaching relationship ended there, I would have been more than satisfied. Instead, your coaching has taken me to a place in my career that I hadn't considered possible. Rather than simply working at a local level, I am now working on political issues of a national scale. I would have only dreamed that this was possible before, and now I'm doing it! Thank you for believing in me, encouraging me, and being my coach.

Deborah has not only helped me completely change the way I earn a living, but my life as a whole as well. When I first hired Deborah it was because I was employed by a large technology company and I was working all the time. I was unhappy and looking for a way out. But, I was afraid to go.
Deborah’s firm belief that anyone can have a career they love; her kindness and respect -- and amazing ideas, guided me get through the process. Together we created a plan for me to get out my job. At age 45, I have broken the chains of "9 to 5" for good. I am the president of a successful business. Every day I wake up happy. I take a big breath in ... I breath out ... and I smile.
