Get Unstuck NYC

I located Nicole using Unilocal.I was seeking a life coach who would fully listen to my concerns with open yet discerning ears, an open heart, as well as, provide concrete strategic and tactical advice. I got it right. Nicole was exactly what I was looking for. I am so happy that Nicole has decided to pursue life coaching as a career, I am sure that she will help so many people as much as she has helped me in my pursuit to live my best life.

I found Get Unstuck on Unilocal,but after one in-​person session, I have to say I did get some helpful nuggets out of it, but I have since found better career coaching at comparable prices (per hour). I also think it’s important to list one’s academic or certificate qualifications, and my subsequent coaches have demonstrated this on LinkedIn or over the telephone during our consultation. I also think that it’s important to have a consultation first, and one should find a coach who does this (most do, as therapists or other services providers do) before paying the non-​refundable fee. Basically, buyer beware.

I work in office administration and project management and I found Nicole online after making the choice to get support professionally and personally with where I was going next in my career. To be completely direct, I had reached a point where I was feeling scared and I was desperate for some guidance.
Nicole helped me realize the things that needed to be said and dealt with in order to move forward. She also helped me find the confidence I was looking for, something that I was truly lacking before meeting with her. In addition to that she made her best efforts to accommodate me with 2 sessions on 24 hours notice 2 days in a row prior to an interview I had coming up. She gave me wonderful advice and tips for the interview itself.
I am proud to say that I killed it at the interview, locked down the position and I am currently coordinating the final steps to join the company’s team! I am so thankful to have found Nicole and I am already recommending her to the people in my life.

I recently started looking for a career coach and let me preface this review by saying I feel Nicole is a nice person who seems genuinely interested in helping people. However, her bedside manner and professionalism lacked throughout coordinating a meeting and during my 20 minute ‘get to know you rushed session’ with her.
The reasons I give Nicole two stars are listed below:
1. Her lack of quality and authentic time spent with her potential clients: I had a 20 min. meeting scheduled with her during an ‘open house’. I felt the set 20 minutes time restrictive and too short to get to know someone enough to want to work with them. (Keep in mind, most career coaches offer a complimentary one hour session, Nicole limits her complimentary session with you to less than half of that time). I understand it was an open house, so time is limited, but at least a half an hour would seem more reasonable for the time and distance travelling to her apartment. Also, her timer was on during our entire convo and when her alarm went off it interrupted our conversation flow entirely. The thing is she didn’t seem bothered by this.
2. Her lack of professionalism: when I got to her apt for our session Nicole didn’t explain where I could place my winter coat or purse, etc. As a guest in her home I wanted to be respectful and not place my things just anywhere. This made me feel uncomfortable right away. Additionally, no initial hand shake!
3. Her lack of follow through: the day after meeting her she promised to send me an email with her prices, ways to help me, etc. One day later and no email. I understand things happen, but a quick email saying ‘Hi, I haven’t forgotten to follow up with you, will email you in further detail shortly’ is all that was needed if she couldn’t keep her word. If you are interested in gaining clients, your word is everything IMO. And if you don’t want to work with them then don’t promise to email them post meeting!
4. Her lack of attention to detail: if you’re looking to gain my business at least spell my name correct. It’s as simple as double checking your work.
Overall, if you are looking for an awesome career coach with great follow-​through and professionalism I would recommend looking elsewhere, I know I will be!

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting with Nicole. Although, what led me to reach out to her isn’t pleasant, she was a pleasure. I am currently entering a life transition, divorce, and after 8 years of marriage and not working outside the home, I needed insight into getting to know what I want and need in a career. Nicole was insightful, asked great questions and helped me suss out what I am most passionate about. I left feeling more empowered than when I arrived and had wished I recorded my session! :)
I highly encourage a session (or more) with Nicole.

This morning, I had «The Explorer» session with Nicole. It was my very first time meeting with a career coach, and, I have to say that I am pleased as punch that I struck gold the first time around. Nicole has such a welcoming presence and non-​judge mental demeanor that you can’t help but feel comfortable around her. She really listens, and you can tell that she enjoys helping others find their wings. Nicole is a also whiz at coming up with ideas for you. She is so incredibly positive and encouraging; I look forward to continuing my sessions with her. I’m confident that Nicole can help me to make my dreams a reality. Even after only today’s session, I feel that I am well on my way!

Nicole is amazing! She really helped me with job transition advice. Now, I have much more clarity and confidence with my decision. She also arranged to speak with me ASAP when I was pressed for time. She is very understanding, attentive, intelligent and affordable. She also is very caring and followed up after the session. She was my first experience with a career coach and I will definitely use her service again when I need it. I highly reccomend her.

I’ve only ever worked with one career coach, however I am quite confident in my guarantee that Nicole Orisich is unlike any other coach you’ll encounter in the NYC area.
After researching many career coaches and not connecting with any of them during consultations, I found it refreshing when I finally spoke with Nicole for the first time. She kicks the sales pitch to the curb and gets down to business immediately, just by being herself, which made it easier to be me in return.
I met with Nicole because I was interested in transitioning careers, but was also facing a lot of personal hurdles and didn’t know how to tackle it all. In my sessions with her, we worked through the obstacles I felt were most challenging, doing so at a pace and comfort level that felt right for me. Her open and earthy approach and her comfort in sharing her life/​work experience made it easy for me to communicate what I needed, and easier for her to help guide me through appropriate next steps with my career and life. Having completed my session time with her, I can honestly say that the journey — albeit startling and sometimes painful — was worth every moment.
If you are looking to make a positive change in your life and within yourself, I highly recommend reaching out to Nicole and setting up a consultation. Be ready to put in the effort, as what you put in will really be what you get out of it. Nicole’s energy and enthusiasm are characteristics that merely scratch the surface of her incredibly deep and wonderfully layered personality, and that’s only the beginning to what you’ll discover when working with her.
Thank you always, Nicole!

My career coaching session with Nicole was both eye opening and inspirational. I was facing a crisis situation in both my professional life and it was taking a toll on my family life– something had to give! I hated the idea of talking to clinical psychologist whose first thought is sending you to a psychotherapist for medication so I realized I needed fierce advice from someone who knows corporate America and corporate politics. Talking out my concerns with someone that’s unbiased was extremely helpful and made me see what my weaknesses were which ultimately encouraged me to take a bold step that I was absolutely dreading but ended up doing. Nichole gave me the lending ear that i needed… her advice inspired me to step out of my comfort zone at work and ultimately helped me get out of the rut that I was stuck in. .Now I can have a peace of mind and feel happier about life and about work. Thank you so much Nicole:-)

Nicole is great at helping me see my vision. Seriously at the end of every conversation, I feel great. Nicole’s passion for helping me see things clearer are natural, she has a gift.

Nicole was able to help me find a new perspective on my career. I was stagnate and frustrated which is why i decided to search for a career coach. Luckily I found Nicole. I feel like she has a very current, modern approach to coaching that really opened my eyes and helped me refine my presentation skills. I am in the entertainment business and presentation is a huge component. I wasn’t getting the results I wanted and I didn’t know why. She was able to quickly help break me out of my rut with a great honest, direct approach. She really helped me find my way. Thank you Nicole! You are the BEST!!!
