Workshop Testimonials
After every workshop, we send a survey to all participants and stress that their feedback will be 100% anonymous.
We rely on survey findings to continuously improve the format and content of our workshops.
We’re incredibly proud that our NPS is almost always 100 — meaning that 100% of respondents reply “yes” to the question “Would you recommend this workshop to other people in career transition or in a job search?”.

I highly recommend this workshop for anyone currently or contemplating a career transition. Emily conducts this workshop in an open and interactive manner. I especially appreciated learning about the common pitfalls in job searches that people could easily overlook. She is aware of her attendees and made all of us feel valued and heard. Overall a great experience!

This workshop and resources came at a perfect time as I'm transitioning from my current organization where I've been for a long time. It was great to get up-to-date advice on how to utilize technology to assist my search (e.g. LinkedIn tips & AI engagement), and to also connect with others who are on their own career journey as supporters and advisers.

I always wanted to be more intentional in my job search and I had no idea that it is an art and science in and of itself. Emily gracefully and skillfully empowered us with that art!

Super complete workshop -- and the materials are an amazing playbook! I find myself referring back to the Tools for Transition slides and handouts before interviews, when preparing thank-you notes, or any time I have a question about the best way to keep moving forward toward an interview and an offer. With this playbook, I know the process for success in this job hunt. Thank you!

While I was not ready to jump headfirst back into the job search upon starting this course, taking this series of workshops re-energized me and gave me the confidence to get started sooner so that I can land the job I want when I am ready. Having a series of workshops packed with information gave me a lot of places to start from as I consider a career transition. Emily was thoughtful, personal and full of information!

The Tools for Transition workshop is game-changing for anyone going through career transition!
(Tools for Transition participant, November 2024)
Emily's course was highly organized and very helpful for anyone who is at a point in their career when they are thinking about change-- be that entry-point, mid-level, or even later along in a career. Emily guided discussion with concrete tools and resources for each step of the process. The workshops followed a progression that helped each participant articulate their personal objectives and formulate strategies to achieve success. The format enables participants to focus on individual needs while also benefiting from having the support of a group. There is comfort to knowing one is not alone in this challenging process! I highly recommend this series for everyone interested in following their dreams!

The workshop encouraged me to think differently on a number of fronts - how to embrace and leverage AI, how to get honest with myself about what I need from a job, and how I can put myself in the best mindset when I do start the job search.

Thank you, Emily, for the enthusiasm and knowledge you brought to each session! The job search process can be challenging and your enthusiasm and knowledge helped energize me to move forward with confidence.

Blue Bridge's facilitator Emily is extremely knowledgeable and deeply caring - although this was a group workshop, she took the time to learn about my needs and offer insights to my specific situation. I highly recommend this series to job seekers, career changers, and everyone who wants to stop wasting time fumbling around aimlessly on LinkedIn and create a strategic plan. It's worth every penny.

What a well-structured workshop! It covered all aspects of the job search and more. I was impressed by the numerous resources we received throughout the session. Emily was exceptional in guiding us and sharing her insights. Although the workshop has ended, I feel well-equipped with the knowledge and tools to reach my goal.
