"I was referred to Ben when I was seeking a career counselor to help me navigate finding a new job or career. I knew I was ready to leave my current job but had no idea where to start or what to look for. Even though the company name is PreLawPro, my friend reassured me that he helps people in all careers.
Ben was an absolute God-send! He was incredibly patient and insightful during our sessions, very encouraging but also knew when to push and challenge me. He helped me thoughtfully approach an overwhelming season of unknowns and helped me realize what I truly prioritized and valued in a job. We didn't just focus on my career but took a holistic view of my life and the fraction that my job played in it. This approach helped me realize how important nurturing and protecting a creative outlet is for my well-being. Ben helped me address the expectations that I had for my job and how some needed to be fostered in my personal life rather than relying on a job to fulfill them.
After reflecting on what I learned during my early sessions with Ben and through continuous prayer, I had the clarity to stay at my current job/organization. After I made my decision, Ben encouraged me to negotiate a better job situation. I am NOT a negotiator! The thought of negotiating to increase and tweak my organization's initial offer to get me to stay greatly intimidated me. Ben was SO GREAT with this! He not only helped me think through things to ask for based on what I ideally wanted my job situation to look like but also helped me frame the conversation I wanted to have with my COO and structure the flow and reasonings for my requests. Not only were all of my requests received, but I was also able to get an $8k increase in my salary!
I learned so much from Ben professionally and personally and I plan to continue implementing his wisdom and lessons in my professional life and in whatever job I have."
