Valerie’s coaching was one of the best - if not THE best - resources I had during my time at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. She is extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and skillfull when it comes to all things career-building or job-hunting. Valerie was available before the school year began and remained easily accessible and available after I graduated. Her coaching had an undeniable and direct impact on my job search. After I began applying Valerie’s feedback on my resume and outreach, I saw an increase in the number of interviews I was invited to. When I began applying what I learned through her coaching to my job interviews, I noticed I was getting more call backs. Eventually, I made it to the final stages at two big education companies and received a fantastic offer. I have zero doubts Valerie played a role in helping me finally secure an offer after months of struggling with the job search alone. Everything turned around once I revisited her insightful newsletters and started one-on-one coaching. Valerie has also been incredibly kind, affirming, encouraging, validating and supportive of me in not only the job hunt, but also in helping me think through what career pathways might be right for me. She’s especially wonderful at empowering women. Both anecdotes and research has shown me I am not alone when it comes to second-guessing my worth and Valerie’s presence in my life has helped me work on eliminating my limiting beliefs. I’m incredibly thankful I was able to benefit from Valerie’s knowledge before she left Harvard and I highly recommend her to literally anyone navigating the world of figuring out a career pathway, a job hunt, negotiation needs, and all things work-related!

I have had the privilege of working alongside Valerie Sutton for over 15 years, as a member of her team at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Not only does Valerie embody a strategic mindset contributing to forward thinking organizational improvements, her deep commitment to supporting ALL individuals on their journey to achieve career satisfaction gets results. As an expert in career theory, she has structured successful models of support that enable her clients to maximize their self-reflection. Her effectiveness in getting each person to investment in strategically designed action plans leads to achieving satisfying career goals. As a person of high ethical character, she is an active ally to individuals who deserve to experience the joys of career success and satisfaction but have experienced barriers to their progress.

I have been impressed with Valerie since I first met her as a graduate student. She provided me very useful feedback while I was in the process of switching careers and was an incredible resource in helping me increase my employability skills. While working with Valerie on the Strategic Planning Task Force on the Metro North Regional Employment Board, I was never surprised by her insightful contributions. She is thoughtful, has a wealth of knowledge to share, and is an invaluable member to any working group trying to achieve results.
