Corbet Fawcett

Corbet is undoubtedly an exceptional mentor. My introductory call with her was incredibly productive. She showed remarkable empathy, actively listening to my goals and challenges while demonstrating genuine care for my progress. Even though it was just an introductory session, she went above and beyond by helping me develop a plan for my current research activities—something I didn’t anticipate but greatly appreciated. Rather than strictly adhering to time limits, Corbet focused on delivering values, which made the session truly impactful.

I had an excellent experience working with Corbet, and I highly recommend her as a coach for anyone seeking guidance in their UX Research job search or career development. One thing that stood out to me was how Corbet and I were able to communicate freely about how we worked together. We discussed whether coaching or mentoring was better suited to my needs at any given time, which made the experience more personalized and effective. Corbet is kind, patient, and wise, and her expertise as a UX Research leader was instrumental in my career development. In my job search she helped me identify roles that matched my skills and interests, understand how to best position myself to appeal to the recruiter and hiring manager, and prepared me for the interview. Additionally, in my career development, she guided me on learning specific skills, particularly stakeholder management, such as setting expectations and building thought leadership, as well as managing up. Overall, working with Corbet was an invaluable experience that helped me clarify my goals and make progress in my career.
