"I’m a digital marketer focused on transitioning from corporate to a high-impact startup role where I’m compensated for the real value I drive, with over five years of experience managing large-scale growth and performance programs. When I signed up for coaching, my biggest challenge was figuring out how to truly stand out with my resume, build meaningful relationships through networking, and clearly identify what a genuinely great opportunity looked like so I could commit to it fully instead of second-guessing myself. At 27, I knew I deserved more and didn’t want to stay in my role forever—I felt strongly that I needed a strategic pivot to put my career on the right long-term path, but in a tough job market I wasn’t confident I knew what actually worked, so I invested in Cultivated Culture for the accountability, structure, and guidance of experts who had successfully helped hundreds of people do exactly what I was trying to do. The most valuable part of the coaching for me was learning that networking is ultimately the foundation of any strong career and that it needs to be an ongoing, intentional practice, not something you only turn on when you’re actively job hunting."

"I work in the people space and consider myself to be a solid coach. The coaching I received throughout this program has been stellar. I enjoyed every session with Adriana. This process can be challenging, not only in tactical assignments, but emotionally as well. Adriana never let me forget what I deserve and how hard I've worked. I wasn't expecting this level of coaching, and it made the program for me. I had my last session this week and while I'm sad I won't have my time with my coach, I'm excited and confident with my next moves and know that the support is still there. Fantastic program. I've learned so much not only about my dream job, but myself, as well. *William asked us to use a pseudonym and stock image for privacy purposes.*"

"Despite having 10 years of experience and an MBA, I was applying to jobs left and right and barely getting any interviews. I knew I was qualified, but I felt like I was hitting a wall and I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. On top of that, I was moving my job search to Amsterdam, which meant starting from scratch with a new network, since most of my connections were in the U.S. That’s when I came across Austin’s posts on LinkedIn. Even just applying the advice he shared on there made a noticeable difference. So I decided to take it a step further and invest in Cultivated Culture. I needed a program that would keep me focused, organized and give me a clear framework to follow. I also wanted personalized feedback on my resume, interview prep and a real person to answer my questions. My coach, Forrest, was awesome! He was smart, responsive and genuinely supportive every step of the way. Thanks to this program, I transitioned from working at a museum to landing a job in tech, without compromising on the role, compensation, or the kind of work I wanted to do. I highly recommend Cultivated Culture and Forrest to anyone starting or going through the job search."

"Before discovering Cultivated Culture, I felt stuck in my job search in a challenging job market. Partnering with my coach, Adriana, was transformative. She helped me in crafting a compelling narrative around my career goals, tailoring my resume and LinkedIn profile to resonate with potential employers. Through insightful mock interviews and personalized feedback, she helped me refine my personal brand and develop a clear strategy for my search. Thanks to her guidance, I succeeded in securing a role that perfectly aligns with my aspirations. I am incredibly grateful to Cultivated Culture for their excellent support and expertise. *Monalisa asked us to use an avatar as her headshot*"

"Working with Cultivated Culture, and especially Forrest, was easily one of the highest-leverage decisions I made in this transition. I was stepping into my first real interview process in 8+ years, and my first time ever navigating a negotiation that actually mattered. That’s the kind of moment where experience gaps show up fast. Forrest closed that gap. What stood out wasn’t just the advice, it was the clarity and timing of it. At each stage, he helped me focus on the moves that actually mattered, cut through noise, and approach the process more strategically. And his “light touch” accountability was exactly that, enough to keep momentum without ever feeling forced. His résumé feedback was also incredibly detailed and practical, it helped me sharpen how I articulate my value in a way that actually lands. End result: I showed up more confident, more prepared, and far more effective when it counted, and ultimately landed and accepted a great offer."
