"Kathy conducted a wonderful workshop for the Kellogg School of Business Alumni Club of Chicago-West which exceeded my expectations of a career strategy workshop. I have organized many career events for KACC-West as the founder and chairman and I ranked this event as one of the best. Kathy went through a six-step process to guide participants. Kathy's presentation was clear, concise and, most importantly, insightful. Thumbs up for Kathy."

"The Northwestern University Kellogg School of Business Alumni Club of Chicago-West had a very successful career strategy event with Kathy Graham. As executives, business owners and individuals who have attended many career and networking events, we were more focused on the value each attendee derived from the event instead of a one-size-fits all approach of presentations. We interviewed multiple career experts and chose Kathy for her depth and breadth of experience and a track record of success.

Kathy is very easy to work with. Most important for us, she cared and she had the same goals as the selection committee - how do we ensure the best experience and value added information transfer to our audience? She made the time to discover the goals of the selection committee and sought to understand the audience we served. We asked Kathy to walk through a complete process for people at different career life stages and career transition readiness level and she delivered.

Countless audience members came up to us after the event to let us know it was one of the best presentations they have attended. The interactive presentation was highly valuable by eliciting input from actual participant experiences of what worked and what did not and why. Kathy provides elements of self-help and follow-up coaching in her work. I highly recommend Kathy Graham for your events."

”I look forward to Kathy's annual employment situation forecasts.  She peels the opportunity onion to cook up an outstanding analysis, even if it causes tears some years.  Near as I can tell, she's on a seven year streak of spot-on winning calls.”

“Ms. Graham was able to take my 3-page resume and turn it into a single page, fine-tuned with precision, depth, and a powerful statement of my 30 years of experience. Never before has one page generated so many positive responses!”

“Thank you so much for your Stopped to Star system which has reorganized my search and given me renewed inthusiasm for what can be an overhelming project. I was pretty far into the search when I switched from my own spreadsheet to your system. Even though mine was color coded and I thought I was on top of things, your ranking system not only keeps me focused on the most important leads at any point in time, but keeps me on task day to day. Having all the data so accessible makes each step so much easier.”

“Kathy’s Your Career Strategist sessions were wildly popular with our members. Not only did she provide our members with concrete and valuable advice, she was totally engaged before, during and after the event. Both members and staff had a thoroughly positive experience working with Kathy on this event.”

"At a recent program offered to members of the Boston Security Analysts Society, Kathy spent a 1/2 hour with each individual attendee.  We received positive feedback for Kathy's work and attendees praised and valued her assessments of their resumes. She earned high marks for giving concrete suggestions to improve resumes while tailoring them to the individual's current position and goals. Attendees raved about her advice on how to take careers to the next level. Kathy is upbeat, smart and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend her as a career strategist, speaker, and resume expert!"
