Higher Gear Coaching - Career Counselor and Leadership Coach

Working with Higher Gear Coaching was a serious game-changer for me. Curt is the kind of person who makes you feel like your success matters to him. Every session felt easy to step into, and the way he guided the process made it feel like I was uncovering things piece by piece, never forced or overwhelming. Instead of just handing me generic advice, Curt helped me open up new career paths I never would have spotted on my own. He kept things focused and realistic while still showing me possibilities I hadn’t considered. The changes we made to my resume and LinkedIn weren’t small tweaks. They completely shifted how I was being seen. Within a week or two of final updates, I had half a dozen interviews lined up. It was astonishing! What has stuck with me most, though, was how much more confident I felt heading into interviews. Curt gave me tools that clicked, and that sense of ease is something I’ll carry forward long after coaching. If you’re looking for someone who makes the whole career search feel less like a grind and more like a discovery process, Curt’s your guy.

Highly recommend working with Curt! He helped me figure out what my needs and wants are when it comes to my career path and life. If you're in a career rut and need some direction, Curt can help guide you to finding your path forward. His help goes beyond just career searching, he helps you figure out your true purpose, your values, and how to align your life and career to that. Really glad to have him in my corner moving forward.

Curt is a great leader, mentor, and coach. He was able to help me get unstuck with my career goals and passion after I was laid off from work last year. Thanks to his guidance, structured coaching techniques, and open mindset, I landed a new Product Manager role and with a regenerated purpose.

Curt was excellent at listening, being empathetic and guiding me along on a life changing journey. He helped me get a lot of clarity about what I really wanted in life and the best way to achieve my goals. I know that I've been set up for success and it feels wonderful!

Curt was patient and helpful making sure that I felt comfortable going into my interviews. He helped me find the right language that I should be using in interviews, and gave me a lot of confidence going into them. Not only did I get the job I wanted, I also managed to get another offer on top of that.

Curt was exactly what I needed to help guide me as I navigated some career changes. He was a great listener with thoughtful responses. His homework helped me hone in on what was important to focus on as I made life changes. He is approachable and easy to talk to. If you are feeling perplexed about where your professional life is going and you'd like to reign in the things that make you happy, then I highly recommend starting that conversation with Curt.
