"I started out with absolutely no clue in mind what I wanted to do, just a static idea with many moving parts. I essentially felt overwhelmed in a field I had zero knowledge in. Robert was fantastic, he was very patient and took his time to figure out what exactly I wanted to do and establish goals I was trying to achieve and created a work plan to execute these goals. I was nervous the more we discussed that I may have overstepped and that it was something he may not be experienced with, however, I was proven wrong as he showed me that he fully understood the processes and has even taught me tricks and of the sort. To me, this solidified that his knowledge was incredible and that he was the real deal. I definitely see myself purchasing his knowledge and services in the future!"

"When I first contacted Gus, it was because I realised my visibility within a remote, tech SaaS company was far too low. Working with him for -- almost a year now -- has been invaluable. It helped to have a sounding board to talk about the rollercoaster ride of being a PM, deciding between some difficult roles/projects that were offered to me, and have someone who was able to offer a second perspective when I was stuck in a single narrative. I achieved my career goals with Gus -- I increased my visibility, started working closer with the C-Suite, received more strategic projects, and was also offered people management responsibilities. All of which helped me decide what I wanted to do next!"
