What Clients Say:

Leigh’s ability to clarify her client’s strengths and translate them to a business context is invaluable. She helped me gain awareness of what skills and talents help me shine in a workplace and how to market these abilities in a top-notch cover letter and resume. Leigh's action-oriented approach to her work created specific objectives and outcomes for our career discovery process. Not only did I learn a lot by working with her, but our weekly calls were often the highlight of my week! I highly recommend working with Leigh if you wish to better align your strengths with your career.

– Jen, Young Professional

I truly do not know what I would have done without you. The experience with LaunchGrad has just been incredible. Your counsel has been so insightful, encouraging, and refreshing. I always looked forward to my Wednesday mornings with you! I know the work is not finished yet, but I want to go ahead and credit you with any of my future successes. You laid an incredible foundation. If you ever need a testimonial, I am your person! Thank you, again!

– Caroline, UGA Senior

My wish for every young person, navigating the maze of a job search and adult life, is that they could have Leigh on their side. Her compassionate guidance has been invaluable to me post-graduation, and I left her office with a new sense of confidence and direction. As she told me, "Once I am on your team, I am always on your team." She replaced my uncertainty with excitement, my anxiety with a to-do list, and my resume with a better resume! I truly don't know what I would have done without her.

– Mary, Young Professional

Leigh was a bit of a lucky charm for me -- I landed a full-time job shortly after I started working with her. She took the time to get to know me so that she could personalize the career consulting services to fit my needs. She helped me with my resume and LinkedIn profile, interview skills and my 'elevator pitch', and performed personality testing to help me learn more about myself and my ideal work environment.

– Foster, Young Professional
