24.01.2022 We have some wonderful feedback to share from one of our one-on-one coaching clients, for her coach Claire McCaffery. This client was headhunted via LinkedIn, thanks to the coaching finesse of Claire. "8 years ago I got out of domestic violence, had PTS and was very depressed. I was alone here overseas, my education unrecognised and no corporate experience for 13 years prior... an older lady with no current experience and no network. Dress for Success helped me in so many wa...ys... clothes, makeup, professional photos, CV creations, lots of interviewing practice. But the most help was with the coaching program. That program is life changing! One coach was like a mid-wife. She helped me to speak in the modern jargon in a calm, confident manner to explain my skills. Being employed is a generational change for me. I can now help immigrate my mother to Australia. I can provide financial security to my children. I am happy, calm and confident. Thank you Dress for Success, from all 5 of us, you have helped toward a better future by helping me." #DFSS #dressforsuccesssydney #DFSScoaching #empoweringwomen
