“Voordat ik met Anne van Power to Change ging werken aan m’n c.v. dacht ik echt dat ik door het gat in m’n c.v. door verblijf in het buitenland en zorg voor de kinderen niet veel meer had bij te dragen. Zij heeft me in 1 gesprek en door een aantal oefeningen in laten zien dat ik wel degelijk iets heb bij te dragen en ook hoe ik het goed kan verwoorden. Ik kreeg m’n kwaliteiten weer helder, de rijke ervaring die ik heb op een rijtje, en ik kan het nu ook goed verwoorden. M’n focus ligt nu op het opstarten van m’n bedrijf, maar ik ben toch door een goed c.v. en brief uitgenodigd voor een aantal gesprekken. En ik voel me nu niet meer onzeker over het gat in m’n c.v.” Matthea, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, The Netherlands

“Dear Anne, A few months ago you helped me out with my CV and sent me a report on areas that could be improved. You helped me out a great deal by pointing out things that, in hindsight, were obvious deficiencies and shortcomings. A few weeks after sending out my ‘new’ CV I got an interview – my first since I started my job search 8 months ago. I will never truly know whether it was because of the improvements you suggested, or whether it was just the universe finally giving me a break, but I’m inclined to think it was the former. Thank you very much for your help.” Tamara, Netherlands
“Dear Anne, you really are a genius! I sent the CV off Sunday night and received a reply the same evening assuring me that I would hear from them soon. Monday morning at 10.00, I was offered a position subject to a brief meeting later this week. I will keep you informed.” Teacher, Netherlands

“I really enjoyed the brainstorming session with Anne, she helped me to clarify a lot of ideas that I had floating around in my head and also to pin point the specifics. At the end I had a BIG goal, but it seemed very achievable by the way that she helped me word it. Anne is also very good at keeping control of the session and not allowing me to go off on a tangent. She kept the session nicely within the time-frame, but we still achieved a huge amount.” – Alana, Coach, South Africa
“I had spent hours struggling to put my business plan together probably because I had amassed so much information from a variety of sources that I just didn’t know where to begin.
