COACHING TESTIMONIALS:

"Sarah is both personable and professional. She helped me to target my job search and resume in a way that allowed me to get significant traction. She gave me confidence while pointing out things that I needed to work on, and she gave me hope throughout the process. She was especially helpful with networking and interview preparations and I truly believe that without her counseling I would still be looking for a job." - Lawrence Weissman

You said I came across very x and y, and that's what I changed - brought up more of my personality in the interview that finally landed me this job! Thanks again! - Yelena S.

PUBLIC SPEAKING TESTIMONIALS:

JP Morgan LinkedIn Presentation:
"Nearly 80 Financial Women's Association members and guests gathered November 17, 2008 at this sold-out event to hear career coach Sarah Stamboulie, head of Stamboulie Career Consulting, teach us how to leverage the LinkedIn professional networking site for business development, job hunting and research. Stamboulie’s program included a live demonstration of LinkedIn features including how to set up a profile and initiating and accepting invitations. She explained how to build a network of primary contacts and how to discover and access a broader network; her own 304 first-degree connections yield over 2 million third-degree contacts! Stamboulie’s engaging, informal style encouraged questions and produced a highly interactive session. Stamboulie gave current users great tips for making LinkedIn work for them and the newbies confidence to dive in and get started. There was more to discover than time allowed, and we’re hoping to offer a follow up sometime next year."

ING Employee Development Workshop Series:
"Thank you, Sarah! I really loved your last presentation at our company about LinkedIn and I am really looking forward to the MBTI presentation."

Ivy Exec LinkedIn Program:
"The turnout for your seminar was the highest we've had, and the response to your presentation was absolutely amazing."

Columbia Business School Alumni Negotiation Seminar:
"Thanks so much for getting this event together. I thought Sarah Stamboulie was really great - she was entertaining and informative. I couldn't believe the time flew by so fast (in fact, the clock hadn't been adjusted for daylight savings time, and I had no problem believing two hours had flown by so quickly with such a good speaker)."

Columbia University Alumni Networking Workshop:
"Sarah was absolutely fantastic. She was not just smart & seasoned, but honest in a way that was both complete and compelling. Frankly, she’s the best speaker I’ve seen in a while at connecting with the audience in the way that she did it."
