Newcomer to Canada - Technology
“After moving to Canada in 2021, I didn't have the insight to translate my experience to meet Canadian job requirements correctly. That is when I met Omer, and with his guidance, I improved my CV to communicate my experience better, improved my LinkedIn, toned my interviewing skills, and narrowed my job search. Omer also plugged me into his rich network of people, who gave me more insights into the Canadian work environment. Ultimately, I received multiple offers and chose the right job for me. I recommend Omer to newcomers to Canada and anyone who wants to excel in their career.
Thank you, Omer, for your patience, selflessness, professionalism and everything I've learned from you in our time together.”

Young Professional - Research Chemicals
“Before committing to coaching with Omer, I has an initial discovery conversation with Omer to decide whether this would be a good fit for both parties. In this conversation, I expressed my concerns and issues and he took in everything I said without judgment. I truly felt that Omer understood me and that he was invested in my growth.
Each week, short daily assignments were given - ranging from writing journal entries to applying strategies I learned from the session at work and in daily life. During the coaching sessions, we’d discuss my written entries and he helped me reframe my thinking about a theme he would notice. His coaching helped me look at the past and present with a fresh perspective. For anyone who is seeking out pragmatic and practical strategies to unlock their fullest potential, reach out to Omer”

“I started my coaching sessions with Omer thinking I just needed to land a job. However, his values-centred guidance challenged me to think beyond just “the job search” and focus on finding my “why” in life. Something that drives me and motivates me to be a better person. And eventually that “why” helped me in finding a career that capitalized on my passions and strengths. Omer’s willingness to connect me to his network was particularly valuable to me as a new immigrant to Canada. On days when I completely gave up on my career Omer’s uplifting and positive words would recharge me and make me work harder to achieve my goal.”
