How Monika Used the Consultation Service to Reach her Goals
Talking to her helped me gather some good pointers that I will be using in my career development in the future.
I discovered Renata when my job applications were already with the prospective employers, and I was booked for interviews. But talking to her helped me gather some good pointers that I will be using in my career development in the future. I really liked Renata’s view on making peace with my career gaps and being more confident speaking about them. I also liked her practical advice, such as aligning my LinkedIn profile and my resume together to tell a consistent story.
A chat with Renata prepared me for this very important and memorable coffee of my career.
I had another consultation before my final interview. It was my first time in a more informal interview setting: it was the final stage of the selection process and a coffee meeting with the boss! I had very little clue on what to expect. A chat with Renata prepared me for this very important and memorable ‘coffee’ of my career. I learned about the different stages of a selection process, the reasoning behind this final step, and the best way to conduct myself at the coffee catch-up with my future employer. And yes, I got the job!
Renata gave me that secret missing block and helped me complete my dream picture.
I would not have done it without her. I am ambitious, focused and have worked hard to build my toolbox of skills that I am really proud of. But something was mysteriously missing. Renata gave me that secret missing block and helped me complete my dream picture. I felt much closer to success. And now, it feels so good to be on the other side. Thanks, Renata! And I know that I can always count on her tailored advice to my needs if I have a career problem to resolve.

Frequent Asked Questions
Read below to double-check that a Private Consultation is just what you need to reach your goals.
Do I need to prepare in advance?
It is not essential to prepare in advance. I understand that, sometimes, you don’t even know where to begin! But you can prepare in advance if you are at that stage of your career journey. In that case, I recommend that you forward me your resume (your latest copy, even if it’s out of date) and your LinkedIn profile (if you have one). This will ensure I can provide you with feedback on these two important documents so that you can make the most of your consultation. Once the booking is made, I will forward you an email guiding you on the steps to send me information before our consultation if you wish to do that.
Is everything we discuss confidential?
Yes, absolutely. You and I will be bound by a confidentiality agreement once you book your consultation. There’s also no judgment and no right or wrong answers or paths to pursue. Every career is unique.
What if I need more than one consultation?
Many clients book 2-4 consultations if they are going through a rough period or an important recruitment and selection process. However, there are periods in one’s career that are better supported by ongoing private coaching. Private coaching can help you gain confidence and be better prepared for important career pivots, changes, and milestones. If you feel like what you need is a coach for 3, 6, or 12 months, with an expert coach supporting your career advancement or transition, please book a free discovery call with me first. I need to make sure you are the right client for me, and you can check if a collaboration with me is the key to make your next career move a success.
Are career consultation fees tax deductible?
You will need to check the rules that apply to your current country and pay taxes. In Australia, in certain instances, coaching services can be claimed under “Self-Education Expenses.” I provide a tax invoice and recommend you seek the advice of an accountant. For more information, go to the ATO website here.
