What Students Say About Colin
Colin’s approach helps those looking to own their personal brand. He teaches clients to communicate how they can help organizations succeed in detail.
The advice comes fast and is dense and is very logical, but I wouldn't have put this together myself without years of thinking about it and having ways to test it. I learned so much!
Colin's program is a comprehensive deep-dive into job search strategy, in a positive, supportive environment. He doesn't just give you generic advice. [The bootcamp] delivers value beyond the 12 hours of the sessions, and I'm grateful to have an expert like Colin in my corner.
