What Clients Have To Say…
"Michelle is a ‘Career Pivot Sherpa’ in that she is there to guide you in a process many professionals may have never been through before. She leverages her experience as a business professional and Executive Recruiter with her training and knowledge as a Career Coach, to help you align your values with your professional goals. Michelle helped me navigate the ‘silent job market’ and she was the expert counsel I needed at every step in the process. My outcome was ideal for my situation, but not where I thought it would end when I began working with her. I would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for an invested Coach and Career Pivot Partner."
Jason Oates, Senior Director - ESG at PureWest Energy
“I had the pleasure of working with Michelle and can say without a doubt that she is a master at what she does! Her dedication as a coach has made a world of difference in all aspects of my life. Michelle really takes the time to understand your unique needs, talents, and aspirations, and provide you the necessary tools and strategies to take your career to the next level. You can tell that she is personally invested in your success, and I highly recommend her.”
Maggie O’Toole, Vice President Strategic Partnerships at Onbe
“I never thought about working with a Career Coach until a friend of mine recommended Michelle; better-said he raved about the time he spent with her during his career transition.
What I can tell you is Michelle knows the recruiter world and understands the current job market. She is professional, empathetic and honest. She taught me many valuable things and most importantly helped me think through the best job fit amongst the three offers I received while working with her.
I recommend Michelle as a Career Coach and highly encourage you, at minimum, to have an exploratory conversation with her. You never know she may open up new doors that you never thought were possible.”
James Tesdall, Senior Executive + Subject Matter Executive at Shift Technology
“I worked with Michelle, and I vouch for her dedication, understanding of career growth for her clients, coaching, and training. She's an outstanding Career Coach, and she takes her time to get to know her clients. The whole process, I thought, was fantastic. I would highly recommend working with Michelle.”
Moriba Diallo, Program Manager Global Technology Operation Services at American Express
“I reached out to Michelle wanting to explore the possibility of a career change, but what I didn’t realize was how much I would learn about myself in the process. Michelle’s guidance and encouragement led me on a path of profound self-discovery and empowered me to market and advocate for myself in ways I otherwise would not have. She has a special knack for identifying and honing on on an individual’s strengths, and her insight on resume building and interview prep were invaluable.”
Roxanna Tangen, Vice President - Credit Ratings at DBRS Morningstar

Some More Client Feedback…
“During the first half of 2020, I took a step back to reevaluate my career. I felt that I needed clarity and direction and I couldn’t do it on my own. I came across RP4C on the web and scheduled a Discovery Call. That fifteen-minute call was all I needed to be certain that I had to go through the coaching program – it’s that good!
What I find unbelievably valuable is that the program can help you no matter what stage of your career path you’re in. I’m in an early stage and I was not looking to pivot and dive into the job hunt process immediately. It was more of creating a “long-term” plan and the program was designed to meet that need. Through this experience, I did a series of assessments and different exercises that helped me understand myself, my personality, my values, and how these influence my career.
Thanks to Michelle I can clearly see what the best career path for me is. I feel confident and prepared to take the next step when the time comes. Every part of the process is designed to receive the tools and support needed to succeed. You will understand yourself more and even learn new things! Without a doubt, I recommend RP4C’s coaching program to anyone in need of guidance, understanding, and support to succeed in their career.”
Saly Ortiz Vicente, Registered Client Service Associate at Ameriprise Financial Services
“I worked with Michelle as I contemplated a career transition and stepping into a more senior role outside my organization. I found Michelle attentive and able to positively push me in the right direction. Sometimes calling me out when I needed it or just offering encouragement to help get in the right frame of mind before interviews.
Her process of helping you understand what gets you excited about work, what you don’t like doing, and what you should be doing is spot on. When many people (me included) don’t really take the time to evaluate potential roles against personal intangibles the process makes a lot of sense in trying to not only get to the next role but get to the “right” next role.
The program is well worth the cost and I would highly recommend Michelle for people who are looking for someone to work with them in finding the “next”, just be prepared to trust the process.”
Thomas Katsahnias, COO at ACI Learning
“Working with Michelle over a number of months gave me the regularly scheduled time and mental space to focus on my next career move, as well as the tools to consider and understand what that next move should be, and why.
She kept me on track through resume and portfolio updating, and on task as I moved forward with actively job searching and networking. Ultimately, the time and energy spent gave me confidence in a surprising opportunity that I otherwise may have been uncertain about. I was able to happily embrace my good fortune without worry or doubt, certain it was the right thing for me, my career, and my life.”
Carl Sergio, Senior Project Architect + Associate at IA Interior Architects

“At the beginning of the pandemic, I found myself floundering a bit in my career and questioning the choices I had made so far to be where I am. Even though I recently received a great promotion, more responsibilities, and a larger team, I was unclear if this was the path I should truly stay on. I reached out to Michelle to find out more about the first phase of career coaching, as I was seeking some clarity around whether I was on the right path, or if it was time to start seeking new opportunities.
Over the course of a few weeks, Michelle helped me identify the things I excel at, an exercise I had never really taken the time to complete. She also helped me really think about the things I value and need in my career, and how my current role fulfills or violates those needs.
I ultimately decided that my current role does meet my needs in many ways, and I’ve been able to carry the things I learned about myself and my style of work into my day-to-day, resulting in a stronger team and a more harmonious work/life balance overall.
I appreciated that Michelle never tried to sway my thinking one way or the other. She evaluated the information she had and helped me draw my own conclusions, while offering very valuable insight along the way. Michelle helped me realize the possibilities that lie ahead, not only in my current role, but also in roles I could consider for the future.”
Valerie Bastek, Vice President Digital Operations at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
“My last interview was to be a salesman at Best Buy back when I was in high school. The military doesn't interview you for jobs as you move along, but rather you establish relationships in the organization and senior people will request you are sent to their command or division.
Establishing a strong resume, writing cover letters, and making it through interviews - these things were all new to me. Very scary! My coach helped me understand the key points of a first level HR interview, 2nd interviews, and in-person vs. phone interviews. She also armed me with overall perspective of the interviewer using her background as a previous corporate recruiter.
If Michelle can help a "fish out of water" like an old soldier getting into the civilian world, she can certainly guide anyone. Her ability to start from an assessment and then work toward where you need help is impressive. I recommend her services without hesitation.”
Mark Miller, Director of Communications at Nation’s Finest
“After interviewing a good handful of career coaches, I chose to work with Michelle on my career pivot. She guided me through the process of figuring out my goals, strengths and opportunities. Knowing how I operate, I knew that I needed to be held accountable through my journey with her and she definitely held me to it! Her process is very structured, which is what I need, and I was surprised at some of what we uncovered. I was left with clear and concise goals, as well as a shiny new resume and LinkedIn profile. I was able to pivot very quickly and find a new job that fit all the priorities she helped me discover, completely outside of the industry that I had spent my entire career in. I would absolutely recommend working with Michelle!”
Cindi Jacobsen, Director of Programs at Think Big For Kids
“Michelle is a fantastic coach.
What I appreciate most about working with Michelle is the clarity of her process. She is focused on results, rather than process for the sake of process. Her approach is simultaneously transparent, holistic, and well organized. She maintains clearly defined milestones and objectives. She works collaboratively to identify each person's strengths, goals, and unique skills and uses that information to build a targeted approach. The approach, of course, will vary with each person but Michelle is able to leverage her experience to set clear and achievable objectives and to maintain accountability (yours and hers) throughout the process. I benefitted from her insight, both personal and professional, throughout the process. She is a thoughtful sounding board on top of her other skills as a coach.
I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a focused and results-oriented approach to career coaching.”
Cory Kamholz, Design Principal at FGM Architects
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Michelle. She has made me a better leader, a better team member and better person. I was reminded that not all companies are worthy of the talent they have and that enthusiasm towards an opportunity can wane slightly everyday. Enduring may be admirable, but over time the price may be too high. Whatever you may be considering her for, you will not find better. I proudly and thankfully give her my full, unconditional endorsement.”
Alan Rowlett, Director of Global Operations & Strategy at C.H. Robinson
“Michelle was an awesome mentor. During our meetings, she devoted all of her time to making sure I had everything for me to be successful. She provided me with guidance and action to prepare me for what is needed to succeed in my career and the job search. I appreciated knowing how much she cared about my success in getting to that right opportunity fit for me. She is a great mentor for anyone who needs guidance on their career and to help you find out more things about yourself.”
Aaron Forte, Senior Instructional Designer
“Change is inevitable. In my career journey, I was ready to explore my options and see what was available. Little did I know how out of the loop I was with navigating the current hiring trends. As you may have discovered, the current day career search takes dedication, focus, and perspective as well as a complete understanding of who you are and what you are looking for. I am so very fortunate that I was able to connect with Michelle Rademacher. Michelle provided the insight and experience into my career search that I was missing. Michelle, was my advocate, sponsor, coach, advisor, and friend. During my career search, Michelle guided me on a journey of self-discovery and from this perspective I have been equipped with the tools and resources to bring my goals and aspirations to the forefront and tailor my career search more effectively. I would highly recommend reaching out to Michelle so that she can assist you with your personal journey. There is no one more important in your personal career search than yourself, and Michelle IS the best partner to ensure the best YOU is presented.”
