Individual Client:

of job I wanted as quickly as I did. You helped me to focus my interests
and experience and to match them to the kind of job where I could be the
most productive and happy."

"You've been more helpful in the last 2 minutes than anything I've
done in the last year, including calling a high-priced outplacement firm
in Seattle."
Individual Client:

attended in many years. Thank you."
Academic Class Participant:

level of rapport between the instructor and the class."
3-Day Retreat Participant:
"I was very impressed and challenged not only by the knowledge of
the facilitator, Larry Gaffin, but also by his gentle and sensitive style.
He was centered and focused, but flexible. He kept the group on task with
a quiet assertiveness. He shared insights and knowledge without stifling
individual sharing and group comments."
Individual Client:
"I want you to know that just one 'aha' that you gave me lifted a
rock off of me and I got my first good night's sleep (without a pill)
for about 6 months.... Thanks again."
Barry
From Import/Export to International Trade - State of Washington:
"I came to Larry and the Center for Life Decisions at a time of
turmoil. I'd worked at my job for three and a half years. It was in a
declining field, I was going nowhere and the intense frustration was affecting
my life at home. I had met Larry a few months earlier through volunteer
work in the sustainability movement in Seattle, and was impressed by his
calm thoughtfulness, so I called him for professional help.
I wanted to change jobs fairly quickly. I already knew a lot about myself, and about what I was looking for in the way of work. My real problem was in networking and preparing for interviews. Larry listened to my needs, and gave me what I asked for-- some very simple and powerful tools that helped me with all types of interviews: informational, screening, hiring, and compensation.
I interviewed people at two organizations that I liked, and accepted an offer from one of them just a few months after I began using the Center's services. Not only am I earning 34% more than I had been, I'm part of a group of highly-motivated, intelligent people helping the community in a field that has great interest for me. Larry Gaffin is by far the most effective counselor I've worked with. I'd gladly recommend him to anyone wanting to make real change in their lives."
