Praise for the From Stress to YES system.
"Mari is a master of her craft.
I worked with her as part of my preparation for a recent critical job interview. While I feel I typically interview well, it had been some time since my last one, and I knew my skills were a little rusty and in need of practice.
Mari was able to identify my weak spots, but also my strengths, with patience and encouragement. She gave me tangible behavioral tactics that not only relaxed me, but conveyed confidence to the interviewer.
She also coached me on how to effectively tailor my responses to questions I would likely be asked.
The most effective part of our session included a series of mock interview scenarios that closely mirrored the actual interview process. We repeated these several times until I felt confident and clear in my responses and delivery.
Her feedback during this process was priceless, giving me information about myself that I would otherwise not have, but that might hurt me. We worked on this part heavily.
Thanks to Mari, I crushed the series of six interviews, ultimately securing the job offer!
Her mentorship and coaching abilities are simply exceptional - I would highly recommend her to anyone who is prepping for a critical job interview. "
