I have relied upon Sheila Nielsen as a trusted career advisor
for over 5
years and have never been disappointed.
Sheila has helped me to chart a career (and life) that is
more productive, successful and satisfying. No matter what
perplexing problem I throw at her, she always provides me with
insight which I never would have otherwise had. She
accomplishes this by framing career issues in a manageable and
constructive way and by applying incredibly thoughtful analysis
so that you can determine for yourself what is the best course
to pursue. She also consistently provides sound advice, which,
after you do your own analysis, typically turns out to be the
most sensible option. She brings many skills to the table: a
sharp intelligence, a lawyer's analytical and advocacy skills, a
professional's dedication and manner, a sage's wisdom and a even
concerned parent's love.
I would recommend her consulting services to anyone who wants
to have a more successful career and live a more conscious and
satisfied life."

Perhaps the finest testimonial I can provide for Sheila Nielsen
is that seven years after working with her, I continue to refer
to the tools and soul searching that she facilitated when we
first met.
As an attorney, a lot of the
self-worth that I have I accumulated refers back to my legal
education and work experiences, however, it is essential to
remember that one’s true sense of being extends beyond the
workplace. Most of us chose our profession before we even began
the lifelong quest of setting priorities. Admitting that one’s
priorities have changed and embarking on a journey to coordinate
one’s work life with one’s priorities is never too late. On the
contrary, the journey is empowering.
Not everyone needs to work with a
career counselor to embark on this journey, but if one does,
Sheila is experienced both in the law and in helping
individuals, like me, better understand what makes them tick.
And, years after we teamed, the work we did together undoubtedly
contributes to a better sense of understanding and empowerment
in me, as I proceed on my life’s (and work’s) journey.
