My appointment today was great, we worked on my values and realized that some of the ones that I spent a lot of time thinking about, were actually secondary or just gateways to other more important values that were already being fulfilled. Looking forward to schedule my next session.

My call was great, I was facing a very important career decision and Dexter really helped me to discover a new way to frame the decision process, moving from a bunch of numbers and calculations to something more aligned with me as a person.

Dexter has a played an integral role me in landing my dream role. Every step of the interview process he was there as a sounding board and a guide on things to do and to avoid. He gave me the confidence and provided structure to my interview answers. I'm now working with Dexter to make sure that I'm navigating my current job correctly. I highly recommend Dexter.

Very good session! Talked through my progress and next steps at both a strategic level (interview process tios + the psychology going into the interview) and tactical (via walking through specific Qs I was having trouble on). Looking forward to the next session.

Dexter was a great career coach! He is able to identify what specific problems you are facing career-wise and will then create a personalized plan to help you overcome these obstacles. Dexter believes in your abilities as a candidate and this was important for me to land my first job!

Dexter is an exceptional coach and I highly recommend him. He helped me in improving my job search funnel/strategy - right from my resume to interview answers. Thanks to him, I landed 3 desirable offers in a matter of few months.

Dexter gave me the confidence to go into the FB onsite knowing that I've prepared the best I can. His framework for telling stories and the category in which the stories should fit and how they can be flexed depending on the question was intuitive and easy to remember. His support and encouragement was very valuable, especially around non-verbal communication. I got the job :)

Dexter was respectful of my time and great with giving me direction. I, unfortunately, I was not able to afford the cost of having him as a coach. This will change once I have a steady source of income.

I had a fantastic first intro call with Dexter who in 15 minutes helped me gain clarity around my career direction & communication styles after my transition from having my own business for many years to working remotely for someone else. He was super easy to talk to and gave value-adding actionable tips.

Dexter is a very strong coach for product managers. He's helped me with general confidence building, sharing insights about how hiring managers think behind the scenes, and iterating interview scenarios. I highly recommend Dexter to new PM's or even experienced PM's.
