“An absolutely brilliant approach to career counselling. I wish that all career counsellors operated like Social Workers, and I wish that the systems that be could support us in providing qualitative support to our clients in ways that don't always reflect the status quo. I am emboldened by this, and although have tried to operate from a strengths-based approach, really appreciated the specific career-oriented approach. I appreciated especially that there are examples of what you can say to clients or what to ask them if you're looking to achieve results, as I find often that my philosophical approach is there but that I continue to need more training on how to actualize these skills in various situations with clients. Loved it!!!”
