“Chandra is one of the best Career Coaches in the business. I have known Chandra since 2015, and would recommend her services for anyone interested in promotions with their current company or opportunities with a new one. I’ve heard great things directly from her clients who successfully found better and more fulfilling roles through Chandra’s coaching. ”

“Before working with Chandra, I felt dormant and lost in my career journey. Chandra has an incredible gift of awakening your senses and bringing out the best in you. She doesn’t just provide coaching; she helps you rediscover your potential.

Chandra’s approach is unique - she pushes you out of your comfort zone without making you feel overwhelmed. Week by week, she helped me build confidence, sharpen my professional skills, and gain a new perspective on my career. Her method isn’t just coaching; it’s a transformative experience.

What sets Chandra apart is her genuine commitment to her clients. She doesn’t see you as just a paycheck, but as a person with untapped potential. Her guidance helped me understand my professional worth, set better boundaries, and see opportunities I was previously blind to.

For anyone feeling stuck, especially in the later stages of their career, I cannot recommend Chandra enough. She’s not just a coach - she’s a professional catalyst who can help you reimagine your professional path.”

“I have known Chandra for a long time and when I came to a point in my life where I needed to change my focus, she was the first one that I reached out to. Not only was she able to boost my self-confidence, she was able to pull strength from me that I did not even know that I had.

Do you have a dead end job? Do you have to deal with negative people who have no interest in bringing out the best in you rather taking away all your joy? If so I would definitely recommend reaching out to Chandra.

At my job I put a little ‘C’ sticker at my desk to remind me of Chandra and the confidence to handle any situation thrown at me. IT WORKS! :)”

“My experience with Chandra was excellent!! I decided to work with Chandra because she is inspirational and genuine in assisting clients with successfully identifying their career goals and options. Chandra has a unique style, skillset, and insight to help identify strengths, weaknesses, and hidden talents. She also provides an outside perspective on choosing fulfilling roles and avoiding roles that are counterproductive. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering career changes and options. ”

“My experience with Chandra was excellent. I decided to work with her because she is helpful and encouraging. She helped me to see that there were better opportunities in my career, and she showed me that I have value. I will recommend her to my friends and family members!”

“I came to Chandra’s Facebook group, Career Changers, at my sister’s recommendation. I am so glad I decided to join. In the short time, I have been with the group, Chandra and other members have helped me develop the courage to return to school to complete my Associate’s Degree after more than 30 years. I graduated in 2021! I now realize that the only way to make changes in my life is to create a plan and take actual steps. It has been a long time since I have been this excited about my life and the direction I am going. Thank you, Chandra and Career Changers.”

“Towards the end of 2019 I was at a crossroads. I was employed at a company, working with a team and in a position that was not remotely the right fit for me. I was at a place of severe self-doubt and I was totally disconnected from my life. Essentially, I came to the end of myself and just knew that there was more. I just knew that this was not the life I was supposed to live. Luckily, a friend of mine who I had regularly spoken to about my challenges suggested that I try a career coach and she recommended Chandra Gary.

I felt hopeful from the first call! There was just a nurturing and calming sense about her on that first call. I knew that I was in good hands.

Chandra suggested that I take the Myers Briggs Assessment and we were off! She helped me to understand why I had been feeling so disconnected from my work and it was at this point that I came to realize that there was nothing wrong with me. I had just chosen to work in ways that were completely misaligned with my goals, values and personality type.

We spent a lot of time on self-reflection and review. I had many “me work “assignments after our calls. These were challenging at times but exciting as I knew that I was discovering more and more about myself.

Chandra does an excellent job of pushing back and asking the hard questions while giving you grace and space to wrestle through those moments.

She is also very good at helping you really celebrate yourself and to celebrate small wins. I was not good at this!

Over the course of our time together Chandra helped me to gain a level of clarity in my life that I didn’t know existed and this felt absolutely amazing. I truly felt empowered and in control of my own life and destiny.

Chandra helped me to figure out what I really wanted to do in my career and in many cases life which felt such a gift.

Today I am truly enjoying my work and feeling empowered, impactful, and connected.

Chandra has helped me to get here and I am forever grateful! ”

“I met Chandra thru my husband at his class reunion in the summer of 2003. I really liked Chandra from the start, she was an honest and I could see that she really cared for her class mates , not just a selected few but the whole class.

What I have learned so far from Chandra is how people view me differently than what I viewed myself, and she has given my the self esteem so far to stand up for myself in not just work but in my family life as well.

Chandra is giving me the confidence to not be afraid to try new things towards my work place now and in the future business that I am working towards. I would recommend Chandra to my Friends and Family to help them achieve their goals. ”

“My experience with Chandra was extremely enlightening and successful! I decided to work with Chandra, at first, because she and I were classmates in high school. Then she worked her magic - offering helpful suggestions for making my home-based business successful, teaching me the basics of accepting credit cards, as well as private conversations to encourage me. Chandra helped me stay focused and taught me how to create a vision board. Some of the items on my vision board have already manifested in my life! Working with Chandra is a blessing and a joy. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to make positive changes in their careers, building their own business, and even looking to change careers and find their passion. Thank you for all you have done for me, Chandra!”

“My experience with Chandra was beyond marvelous. She was very accommodating and extremely patient which helped me as a person with hearing loss. I came across Chandra’s Facebook page as I was contemplating getting out of a job that I absolutely deplored. I was miserable and unhappy. I felt stuck and did not know what to do. I needed coaching but didn’t really know in what capacity.
Chandra encouraged me to think about what I truly wanted and really needed and what I expected to get out of this process in its entirety. Once I managed to do that, she was able to guide and coach me into achieving those things. I shudder to think where I might be today if I had not given her a chance- but I’m glad to be where I am today because I accepted her assistance and coaching!
The most important thing that I learned through this journey with Chandra is that an employer will watch you deteriorate and replace you when you are burned out. It happened to me. You have to take charge over your own employment opportunities and make a choice to get up daily and go to a place that pays and actually feel fulfilled. Peace has no price tag- and as Chandra says, “You are not a coupon!”

“Chandra and I worked together at Purdue University Calumet, and closely during our annual Working Smarter in Tough Times event. Chandra always gave a very insightful, informative, and interesting presentation on how to find what types of positions would be your best fit. I received all the survey forms after these events, and Chandra always got high marks and a lot of “thank you for opening my eyes to my real skills” type of comments.

Even since she left Purdue, we have kept in contact and since my own job loss has been extremely helpful and always gives the best advice. ”

“Working with Chandra is always exceptional. She always has a positive attitude and listens 100% to what you have to say and how you feel. Chandra helped guide me through some personal feelings that were happening at the time. I would recommend Chandra for life and career coaching to anyone who isn’t sure what direction they want to go in. ”

“It’s been 10 years since I had to interview for a job so searching for a job and interviewing was daunting. I found Chandra’s mock interview session invaluable. I listen to it before my interviews to get me focused on typical questions and also on how I can improve my responses. I found the private FB group has helped me emotionally. Having a career change can be stressful and it was nice to collaborate with others and know you are not alone. I would recommend Chandra’s services to anyone who needs to sort out what’s not working in their life and is on the brink of making that next career step.”

“My experience with Chandra was wonderful. I decided to trust Chandra when she understood what I was searching for. She helped me understand that there are other possibilities out there with my interest and job skills. Working with her help me understand that I can do about anything I want to do with guidance and support. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to find guidance in helping them find the right job for themselves.”

“Chandra and I worked and collaborated on youth development initiatives while she was Associate Director, Career Services at Purdue University Calumet. She could always be counted on when I needed expert information and resources on employment trends and job readiness services for our targeted population of first generation and low income students. Chandra is a professional in the truest sense and takes a very spirited approach to her duties.”

“After spending tons of money for my MBA and then becoming an entrepreneur, I decided to work with Chandra to make sure I made a logical career choice. Chandra helped me confirm that working with others, building systems, and running a business is the “right” career choice for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is second-guessing their career choice or who needs guidance on where to start in choosing a career path. Chandra wholeheartedly wants you to succeed and has the background to do so.”

“I had issues with the place I worked at. After speaking with Chandra, she helped me gain confidence to get me back on track and also tips and advice on how to search for jobs. ! highly recommend Chandra.”

I decided to work with Chandra because I read and heard from others about her career coaching experience. Working with Chandra was something I would definitely suggest to others. I would highly recommend her to anyone who would like a professional career coaching experience.”

“I reached out to Chandra to help me find a career that will be life long and something I love doing vs. settling for any job. I have been struggling with where I could best use my skills.
Chandra is very educated and took all the time I needed with her to discuss my situation. I never felt rushed talking to her.
She is a very positive, inspirational woman.
She suggested I take the Myer Briggs personality test. It was the best suggestion. I learned a lot about myself. She went through each section of the test with me and explained what all the results meant about myself.
I highly recommend Chandra and will definitely stay in touch with her and continue coaching as I need it.
Give her a try. You will not be disappointed.
”

“Chandra was immediately helpful by asking thought-provoking questions and listening intently. I would highly recommend her if you are stuck on your career path, need clarification in your work life, or are just in need of a motivational coach.”

“Ms. Chandra and I met through my late mother Lorraine. Over the years my mother used to share with me about her “close friend” Ms. Chandra Gary & how much of a pure delight it was to have her in her inner circle of friends. I also recalled my late mother telling me that Ms. Chandra was a career coach, so when I decided to look into hiring a career coach for myself, I reached out to Ms. Chandra for assistance/support.
I am so glad I did, she instantly made me feel comfortable like two old friends just having a conversation. Ms. Chandra was always friendly, professional, and polite but most of all “100% attentive” to my needs within my inquiry. I have full faith in Ms. Chandra that she will deliver on the services provided & is definitely a breath of fresh air.
”

“My experience with Chandra was great. I felt very comfortable talking to her, I think she asked all the right questions, and I felt seen. After talking to her, it gave me perspective and a better sense of direction of where to go next with my life. I really appreciated her thoughtful advice and didn’t feel pressured to buy anything. I’m definitely looking forward to working with her to help me achieve my career goals. I would highly recommend her to my friends!”

“I have worked with Chandra twice now when evaluating job opportunities. She asks some really thought-provoking questions that allow you to think about the situation from a different perspective. Her thoughtful advice is very much appreciated.”

“Loved my phone conference experience with Chandra. She is full of wisdom & understanding. Her desire to help you find your path or plan your future steps is wonderful. It was a very helpful experience & would greatly recommend contacting her.”

“I attended one of Chandra’s webinars, which enabled me to connect with her for a 30 min phone conversation about my professional plans. She provided me with practical next steps and easy-to-follow directions to resolve the issues at hand. She is interested in her clients and she listens. Her advice has and will continue to serve me well. I would recommend anyone to take part in any professional events or meetings that Chandra offers.”

“Chandra has so much wisdom and gives over and above to help others succeed. Chandra has helped me overcome areas of setback due to fear and inexperience that caused me to not be able to move forward.
Her calm guidance and ability to teach really helped me face and conquer the things that were holding me back. Thank you, Chandra, for all you give to help others obtain their goals and pursue their purpose.
