"Cassandra energises and motivates like no other career coach. I have known Cassandra for a number of years, as a career coach and friend. She has challenged me to identify, act on and follow my real passion, and I regularly come back for coaching to help my career stay on track.
One of the aspects I most value is that she does not espouse rhetoric, but speaks directly from experience, having the courage to follow her own passions always with huge success. I would recommend Cassandra without hesitation."

"I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the inspiration and practical support that you gave me during my business coaching with you earlier this year. I have had a great year setting up my business, and I have big plans going forward!"
Julia Anderson, communications professional and business owner
"After all our sessions I felt very empowered to DO something, and shape my future rather than just let it happen.
I am now enrolled in the London Make Up Academy, starting in Euston London next January. It is costing me $18,000, but I am ok with that (nervous giggle) as it is my business and future I am investing in. I am V excited, and have compiled a list of some Wellington make-up artists that I am going to ask if I can work-experience with before I go. I also have been checking the Biz-info website quite a bit. There's so much to learn!!
Thank you again for helping me, you should be very proud of the work you do."

"My recent contact with Cassandra of Worklife Solutions was a result of feeling ‘stuck’ in my career. I have a fairly broad range of skills and could easily apply them to a number of situations, but was having real difficulty getting into the area of work I wanted. While I had the background experience, skills and academic qualifications for this area of work I couldn’t seem to get noticed. My curriculum vitae was comprehensive and looked good but wasn’t doing the trick.
Before our meeting, Cassandra provided a very practical and effective workbook for me to work through. Initially, I wasn’t keen on doing this exercise, had done it before and wasn’t that confident it would provide what I needed. However, once I started I became quite engrossed and was inspired to rebuild my CV based on the exercises in the workbook.
Our first (and only) meeting enhanced that background work. Cassandra was very quick to pick up on my key skills and personal attributes and identify where some of my weak points may have been. Her knowledge of the recruitment process was invaluable and she encouraged me to be much more confident about my strengths. Cassandra was also able to give me some key pointers in interview processes. Together we worked through my rebuilt CV and refined it even more. I left the meeting feeling very confident and very satisfied that I had made the right decision in engaging Cassandra to help me with my career.
Within two days I had submitted my CV for a senior position in my preferred area of work and have been shortlisted for that position. The other three candidates shortlisted have much more direct experience but it was the passion for the work conveyed in my CV, and later in the initial interview that has put me on the shortlist. While I know that I have the ability to be successful in my chosen career, I have no doubt that Worklife Solutions expertise has now given me choices in this area which I didn’t have before. I highly recommend Worklife Solutions to anyone who is looking for the added advantage in their career direction."
