For Coaching...

“Working with Donna was a great experience and an excellent investment of my time. Through coaching, she helped me identify my professional strengths, and she made sure I could tell a compelling story about myself. She reviewed my resume to make sure it highlighted the areas employers needed to see and helped me prepare for interviews. I felt my background and experience made me a good candidate going into things, but she really honed my job search/interview skills and made me a stronger candidate. Hands down, I would not have been as well prepared without the practice I received from Donna. What really sets Donna apart though is her personality. As you might expect, she is very supportive, but she is also refreshingly frank. She cut right to the chase to tell me what I needed to do. Her sense of humor was also always welcome in what could have otherwise been a stressful process. In this economy, we are all looking for the best returns on our investments, and that is why I am glad I worked with Donna. She helped me get the job I wanted.”

“A funny thing happened on the way to retirement.. After decades as CEO of my own business, I found myself caught in the downdraft of a tough economy and back in the job market. A colleague of mine had a great experience with Donna Valente of Leadership Placement International and since I was facing the challenge of not knowing exactly how to get started with my transition, I decided to give her a call. Donna was an absolute delight to work with as we started a process of clarifying my goals, a resume review, leadership skills assessment, and crystallization of my value proposition. Together we put me solidly on a path of career management. I'm grateful for her help, and I recommend her services to anyone seeking career coaching or placement.”

”Donna, I think it was Dr. Wayne Dyer who said "When the student is ready, the teacher appears". I really appreciated your feedback. You make great points and shared some wonderful insight on things I should develop clarity around. It is clear to me that you are very good at what you do in getting folks to think thru what they want professionally and connecting them to the end goal.”

For Coaching...

“Donna was instrumental in helping me update my resume and marketing myself. She helped me transform an “Old School” approach into a much more sophisticated and current presentation. Donna helped me recognize and highlight all of the value that I offer, and she coached me to present this in a clear and concise manner. This was a great experience and well worth the time.”
