Through careful listening and thought-provoking questions, Seth is extremely adept at helping his clients make connections among the things that bring them fulfillment and flow. I enjoyed my sessions with Seth because he guided me in identifying the nuances of my career that I valued most--and what tasks, new pursuits, or current undertakings I could take (further) action on to help me achieve career fulfillment.I have made transformative strides in my current career and have taken initiative in areas that I would have otherwise overlooked had it not been for Seth, particularly with my writing! I believe clients will leave career coaching with Seth having gained more confidence, focus, and calm. I certainly did.

Working with Seth helped me regain confidence in myself that I needed to get my career back on track. His insights and exercises helped to put me back in tune with the passion that originally led me to my career. He also worked with me to identify my leadership strengths while providing constructive guidance on areas where I can improve. As a result of my sessions with Seth, I moved forward on a new career path with confidence and methods to keep on hand to continuously improve my leadership capabilities.

Seth is a terrific career coach. In working with him I discovered gifts and strengths I didnt know I had and was able to help steer my career in a path that allowed me to flourish after years of not doing so. Seth is insightful, compassionate, a great listener, and very well trained and experienced in the art of coaching. I HIGHLY recommend him.

I was in search of someone who could help me determine my future career path. I was a technical consultant for 30+ years but wanted to look for a different direction. As a result of our joint efforts - I moved from a technical role to an Account Manager role. There has been great professional growth and reward - I have exceeded organizational and personal goals the past 7 years. Thank you Seth for your work and guidance. I highly recommend Seth and have done so for both professional peers and family.

Seth is a compassionate and highly skilled career coach. Whether youre figuring out which career path meets a combination of your interests and talents (that was me!) or are further along in your career looking to tune up professional skills or change course, Seth has the experience and career coaching tools to authentically support you.In my coaching sessions with Seth, I discovered important aspects of who I am and things I had overlooked in my previous encounters with university career centers.  Seth made a process of career discovery that often felt overwhelming in the past, manageable and supportive in our work together. I left each session with clear action steps before our next session.More than any one thing I learned from Seth, his encouraging nature and emphasis on reaching out and connecting with other people in a career of interest, will always stick with me. I consider myself proactive in reaching out for help in other areas of my life, but when it came to my career, connecting with people in fields of interest was a blind spot. Seth not only taught me what an informational interview is, but its powerful value. Now I not only know about informational interviews, but have become a more interested, confident, and comfortable professional networker.Thank you Seth for your guidance and encouragement throughout the career coaching process!

Guy is a know-it-all and has no idea what hes doing. There are way better career coaches in Philly. Dont waste your time. He is trying to sell you an overpriced package of life coaching lessons.He has a very unpleasant personality/demeanor, so Im not sure where he got all these positive reviews. I imagine he probably cherry picked his best clients.

Seth has a great approach to helping folks find the career that they want, not just one based on their prior skill set. He really takes the person as a whole into account, and for the first 5 sessions or so did not even use my resume. He really honed in on who I was, what I liked, what I was good at, and eventually what skills would translate to my next career. You have to put in the work, but he helps you every step of the way.I highly recommend Seth if you are looking to change careers and need some guidance and structure in doing so.

I admittedly didnt understand what career coaching was when I first reached out to Seth. I knew I wanted to go in a different direction with my career, but thought I needed help with interviewing and resume writing. Instead, I got something much more wonderful and fulfilling.Seth helped me discover ways to improve my attitude and mentality not just in the workplace, but in life. Seth was excellent in keeping me on track and outlining goals for each of our meetings while also being flexible. When I received a promotion at my job midway through our time together, Seth was willing to spend an entire appointment with me discussing the pros and cons of the new position.Its important to remember that it takes two for coaching to be successful, you need to be willing to embrace new ideas if you want positive changes to happen with your career. I highly recommend Seth to anyone who is committed to making those changes.

I found Seths website at a point when I was incredibly unhappy with my job and was questioning every career decision I had made to that point. After hours of reading articles and talking to anyone who would listen, I knew I needed to do something, but I didnt know what. I wasnt sure if my unhappiness was a function of choosing the wrong career, selfish discontentment, or simply being in the wrong role at the wrong organization. My confidence in my own abilities was beginning to wane. A few articles I had read recommended working with a career coach. I was skeptical but decided to do some research on the idea. I researched a number of coaches in the region, but the materials I read on Seths website resonated with me more than others. After meeting with Seth for an initial consultation, I thought he could help. Seth listens intently, he asks probing questions, he challenges, he will hold you accountable if youre willing to be held accountable. Most importantly for me, Seth helped me come to the conclusion that I like what I do when I do it in a capacity that challenges me. I didnt need a career change. I didnt have an unreasonable desire to do engaging work. I needed to work harder to find the right role in the right organization and not settle for something comfortable. After working with Seth over the course of a few months I did find a role that challenges me. Im much happier and more engaged during the work day. I found that being happier and more engaged during the work day naturally extends itself to being happier and more engaged at home, even with a longer commute. The benefits of working with Seth, far exceeded the cost. If you dont know what you should do but you know you need to do something, dont resign yourself to being unhappy. Talk to Seth. He can help.

I found Seth during a time in my life when I was really struggling with finding happiness in my career. I felt completely lost about what I was passionate about and what type of career path I should take.Seth helped me immensely during this time. He really took the time to listen and help me learn a lot about myself. Seth has great insight and helped me to realize my strengths and helped me to gain more confidence.I looked forward to every session and always left feeling hopeful for the future. Seth collaborated with me to create goals and we came up with a great plan to help me achieve happiness in my career. I now have a clear path and feel confident that I can find a career that will help me feel fulfilled. I highly recommend Seth, he is absolutely wonderful!!!!!

Review №12

I met with Seth on a number of occasions over a one-year period. His greatest strength during our time together was his ability to put meaningful language to work preferences and values that I perhaps didnt recognize with full clarity at the time. Through that clarity and his encouragement, I felt more confident committing to my personal and professional passions.For his strong ability to listen and understand personal visions, values, and preferences, and to put those elements into a realistic work/life context, I found Seths guidance and advice extremely valuable. I would recommend getting in touch with him!

Seth is an experienced coach who is a great listener, and he possesses the unique skill of being able to provide truly clarifying feedback. He is empathatic, as he has made career shifts himself. Most importantly, Seth kept me on track when I was tangential, or otherwise not focused during sessions, which he did in a direct, yet kind and tactful manner. The homework assigned between sessions keeps each session focused and prevents the malaise and misdirection that can occur when one is in a period of deep reflection, questioning, and searching. Thanks to the focus and efficiency with which I was able to jettison options that did not suit me, I reached my goal well before finishing my final session. I highly recommend Seth’s services to anyone who is seeking a new path.

I worked with Seth during a work sabbatical to evaluate my career choices. He not only helped me embrace my current career choice (which was great as I could continue to leverage the 20 years I had invested in it) but also helped me understand what I enjoyed in my role as a leader, why and how to get better at it.Seth is a great listener and picked up on nuances to help me dig deeper into my values and passion at work. He asked thought provoking questions and encouraged going outside my comfort zone. He provided information re. tools and resources that I could use to formally educate myself and keep getting better.Seth made it very easy to connect with him via Skype, which was a great convenience to me as a new mom.

I began working with Seth at Creative Vision Coaching a few years ago when I found my self asking Are my profession skills and attributes being used in the best way? After meeting with Seth for an initial consultation, I immediately knew he could help because he listened to me, he was on my agenda. Seth and Creative Vision Coaching offered a service that was directly tailored toward the results I was looking. My goal was to find a career that would align perfectly with my core values, while at the same time providing the income to support myself and my family...and more! If youre committed to be honest with yourself and your goals, Seth and Creative Vision Coaching will help you get there!

I retained Seth for coaching and career advice based on my needs of navigating shifts in my personal career interests. I chose Seth as he has had the personal experience of making large changes in his career winds after heavy academic commitments. I met with Seth for about three months and found his listening abilities to be quite strong. Very simply -- he gets it. What I was very [pleasantly] surprised about was that, although I took a little more of an introspective approach to my time with him, we were able to identify some very important factors that were impacting my career path and choices in relatively short time. I really appreciate Seths candidness and ability to challenge, appropriately, on points or issues on their meaningfulness and application. When needed, Seth was able to offer practical, step-wise tactics to assist in more day-to-day career needs. Although I didnt lean on Seth for those particularly needs, his recommendations were still very helpful.I really enjoy working with Seth. Hes a genuinely nice person, caring. I feel like I am wholly more fit to navigate my career winds much more so with Seths help. I therefore strongly endorse Seth for his craft.

After finding Seth through a Google Search and speaking with him over the phone, I decided to travel 2 hours to meet with him. It was the best career decision I ever made. We had several meetings face to face a and a few over the phone based on my distance. Every session I learned more and more about myself, and with Seths guidance, I am now the happiest I have ever been with my career. I highly recommend him plus I will certainly use him again for some of his leadership and/or entrepreneurial guidance in the future. He earned my trust. Thank you Seth for a lifetime of benefits!

Ive been working with Seth since August of 2013. His guidance and coaching have changed my career and life - all for the better. My confidence blossomed, I became clear in the right direction to take and now Im much happier (and more successful) than I had hoped. I highly recommend Seth for anyone who is facing challenges or questions with their career, hes just the best.
