Student Experiences

“I want to thank you for your time and energy during that life-changing session. I can happily say that I have found a job; more importantly, I have found my purpose. I cannot imagine the beginning of this adult journey without the counseling session that you so graciously encouraged me to attend.”

E. DeMoya, Kennesaw State University

“Words cannot express how grateful I am. The things you shared changed my life forever. I had to fight back tears because it was truly information specific to where I am in my life right now. You helped me to understand so much about my journey right now and most of all, gave me hope about how I have the power to change my future. PRICELESS!”

K. Gresham, Central Michigan University

“I am taking away the fact that I can choose my life’s work consciously. Before, I feel like I didn’t even know that I had choices. You go to college, get a degree, and find a job at a good company Now, I feel empowered with the ability to decide my own path. Thank you Robbi.”

K. Hansen, Kennesaw State University

We've got to stop waiting for others to choose us, steer us in the right direction, make decisions about our lives. Choose yourself. Dig deep and uncover who you are and what you want, then go get it. Play the game your way! #ChooseYou #OwnYourPower #GoGetIt The first year of college is hard for many students. Many are lonely, overwhelmed, and totally unprepared for the transition from high school. Some end the year on academic probation, no one prepared them to navigate this new landscape; others drop out, they don't know how to get unstuck. There's a better way. #StartWithYou #PrepareForCollege #GetUnstuck Work is our way to contribute. It can infuse meaning into our lives, but we have to reboot, recalibrate, renew ourselves so that what we contribute is our best work. Work, work hard, but don't forget to stop and breathe, stop and observe, stop and think, stop and rest. We need a balance of both to flourish. #ContributeYourWay #Work #Recover #Balance #Harmony Going to college really isn't the obvious next step after graduating from high school. Self-discovery, exploration and experimentation - knowing who you are, where you want to land and what you want to contribute - are the next steps, THEN you'll know whether college is a necessary part of the equation that gets you where and what you want. This, in my humble opinion, is one of the reasons why so many college students find themselves stuck, overwhelmed and depressed (the blues) beyond the typical challenges on this path. #Self-Discovery #CareerExploration #KnowYourself #BeIntentional #ChooseConsciously
