" Forrest was very helpful, I was able to receive a 68% salary increase with his help. I get anxious and lacked confidence, he was there for me every step of the way to provide much needed guidance. The methodology really works! If you follow the guidance, results will show, I am the proof."

"A “squiggly career” probably best defines my professional path as a generalist, having worked across many (albeit related) industries and roles in my 20s and early 30s. The challenge I faced in my job search—following a postgraduate degree and relocating back to the UK post-pandemic—was navigating a newly stratified workplace, where job descriptions had become more specialized. Additionally, as a mid-career professional, I also encountered the challenge of workforce juniorization. Through very thoughtful sessions with Forrest, along with the online material provided by Austin, we crafted a strategy that was clever, well-evidenced, and ultimately worked like a charm. I cannot recommend this course highly enough if finding a great job is important to you—you are in very good hands."

"I have been following Austin's LinkedIn posts and blogs for years before signing up for the coaching program. I appreciate the fact that the program has taught me a very important lesson that I can apply to any type of relationship building (beyond job hunting). The lesson is relationship building works best when you shift from the mentality of "can you be nice and do this for me?" to "what I can do for you? what challenges can I help you with?". Focus on understanding the other party's needs and challenges and how you can help them solve their problems pays off in the long run. This program really drives the point home."

"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'm a marketing professional with experience in customer retention, omni-channel campaigns, and conversion optimization. I specialize in developing data-driven marketing strategies that nurture customers throughout their journey. My biggest challenge was prioritizing tasks and coming up with a strategy to target specific companies that offered both competitive compensation and growth opportunities. I needed expert guidance to navigate the market efficiently and effectively. The most valuable aspects of Adriana's coaching were her approach to overall target company strategy and offer negotiations. Her guidance helped me leverage the offers I received into a better overall compensation package. Her ability to provide real-time feedback during critical moments of my search was invaluable."
