    “I had just quit my job, moved to a new city, and was ready to be honest with myself about my passions, my likes/dislikes, and most of all, the future I wanted, but was always afraid to pursue or vocalize. I stumbled upon Arianna’s posts on linkedin and immediately felt a pull to her. To my delight, I saw she had free connect calls and booked a call as soon as I could. I’ve never worked with a career coach but her posts and bio made me feel that she was someone I could easily talk to. My gut was right and I am immensely thankful that she was my first exposure to career coaching.

    From the first call, she felt familiar. She made me feel safe to authentically be and say who I am, what brought me to where I am now, and where I want to go next. She was the support and push I needed and because of working with her, I have a better idea of my goals in life. Not only that, but I actually feel energized to pursue my goals! She made me lean into my interests and allowed me to visualize as much as I can. She made me excited for my future, instead of scared. She empowered me throughout and always reminded me that what I want is possible. Through all of this, I felt genuine joy working with her. Arianna is full of love for what she does and that is evident in the way that she cares about you, not just as someone who is seeking career help, but she genuinely wants you to seek what feels right and true to you, and will provide the right tools to help you get there.

    Her holistic career coaching services provided me with so many lightbulb moments that will stay with me for a long time. I am forever grateful to have Arianna in my corner :)”

    “I started working with Arianna in December of 2020 and again in April of 2022. Arianna has been there for me through so many life & career transitions - from navigating post-grad life and relationships, starting my first full time job, and even to my first job within the tech space. She believed in me when I doubted myself. I’ve learned so much more about my own identity as well as my career identity through all my sessions with her and I’m so glad I have been able to see her growth as a coach too! Through all of our times together, I’ve learned ways to: reparent myself, work on my self-talk, understand my self-limiting beliefs and anxiety habits. I’ve learned to distinguish what serves me vs. what doesn’t. Lastly, she’s taught me so much about self-love and putting myself and my needs first. Some things that I appreciate the most about Arianna include her warm approachability and gentle coaching methods! She’s firm, holds you accountable and asks thoughtful questions but also gives you the time and safe space to share your thoughts and feelings with a non judgmental attitude. I always walk away from our sessions with a clearer mind and a stronger sense of confidence.

    Thank you Arianna for being my sounding board <3 Receiving coaching from her has been one of my most valuable investments and I’m happy that I still have all the tools and resources to refer to whenever I need!”

    “I had just started my first role in tech and was feeling riddled with self-doubt and insecurity when I came across Arianna whose identity as a Filipina American and emphasis on holistic empowerment were two key aspects I gravitated towards. Over the course of ~5 months, Arianna tailored an entire coaching structure based on what I was needing support around: addressing my inner critic/child/mentor, self-advocacy, confidence building, defining holistic career/life goals—while still maintaining space for us to discuss present curiosities and troubles. I constantly felt supported and encouraged by her to grow in the ways we were discussing in our sessions as well as challenged to see myself in the ways she knew I could operate as a person and professional. By the end of our most recent partnership, I felt equipped with a bevy of tools and exercises to continue the work we started, and I know she's just an email/text away should I need a sounding board or to set up another round of coaching. I'm deeply thankful to have her wisdom and perspective in years to come.”

    Arianna's sessions are catered to my needs as a client, and I love how personal it is; just the thought of not being treated as a transaction made it more special - I felt safe, heard and valued. She provided me with all the necessary tools and resources so that I may be successful in my journey and addressed the issues around being a person of colour and the generational trauma that came with it.I can say that a lot has changed in how I see myself. I now have a clearer picture of the career and life I know I will love while embracing my roots and culture. Arianna is an inspiration, and I am blessed to have received the coaching that she provides. I know she will continue to inspire many people and build a community of empowered individuals.

“I worked with Arianna for 3 months, and she made such a positive impact on my career journey and overall personal growth! Before working with her, I was experiencing burnout in my previous role and job searching on-and-off for over a year, so I was feeling stuck, lost, and less confident. With her guidance, I felt supported to make the leap from what was keeping me in that cycle, and I felt equipped with the resources and insight she provided!

During our initial call she explained she would meet me where I was at, so I was able to be honest with myself about where I was in my process towards my career goals. I felt empowered to pursue my truth, reflect, and get clarity on what I really want at this time. She was genuinely encouraging, non-judgemental, honest, intuitive, skilled, and social-justice oriented which helped me get to that point I needed and feel empowered while doing so.

Her holistic empowering approach made all the difference for me. I am now more equipped with career transition tools and knowledge, while embracing my journey and getting my “spark” back!”

“I didn't fully understand the power of career coaching until I began my sessions with Arianna. She has a distinctive coaching approach and is intentional about receiving her client’s input to tailor each session to their needs.

Arianna genuinely comes to this work with a holistic lens. After experiencing a career transition into a new and unfamiliar industry, Arianna’s thoughtful guidance and affirmation have been just what I needed. I experienced a lot of self-doubt and questioning about my career trajectory. However, Arianna’s empathy and insight have supported a space for growth where I feel comfortable bringing my most vulnerable career-related thoughts. This has been immensely helpful in gaining clarity on my career path and I leave each of our sessions feeling supported, invigorated, and accomplished.

As a woman of color, It has been so refreshing to speak with another professional with whom I share a connected lived experience. I 100% recommend career coaching with Arianna and I truly just want to thank her for supporting my development! Looking forward to our next session. :)”

Arianna's expertise in cultural influences was invaluable. She helped me explore how my background and cultural experiences shape my perspectives and decision-making processes. This awareness provided me with valuable insights and enabled me to navigate cultural nuances more effectively, both within my workplace and beyond.

Arianna's empathetic nature, holistic approach, flexibility, and profound understanding of the complexities of personal and professional development make her an exceptional career coach. Her guidance has empowered me to become a more confident and self-aware leader. I wholeheartedly recommend Arianna to anyone seeking a dedicated and effective career coach who truly understands and supports their clients' individual journeys.

Arianna has been a tremendous help in my career journey. I first came to her feeling a bit lost, and unsure how to pursue the Gaming industry, specifically within the Marketing field. I had a Pre-Med Bachelor's Degree as well as very little work experience to tie it in. It was through her advice, her resource worksheets, and thoughtful encouragement that provided a new sense of confidence which led me to where I am today.

Every session, Arianna listened and tended to my thoughts. I felt that she understood where I was and what my goals were. She never once tried to impose any sort of road map plan on me, it was through her guidance and career tools I was able to navigate and figure things out on my own. To me, that's the definition of a true coach. They don't do the work for you, they are simply there to provide the resources and you have to put in the work yourself. I highly recommend her as a Career Coach, she is awesome!

Arianna brings a fresh approach to career coaching, focusing on your personal values, non-negotiables, and self-worth. When we started our partnership, I was in desperate need of guidance to identify a clear plan to get me to the next chapter of my career. With her help, not only was l able to create a plan that was authentic to me and my values, but she helped me grow out of my closed mindset while affirming my talents and giving me the confidence to achieve my goals.

I looked forward to our sessions every week. Arianna is very intuitive and really listens. She is an amazing source of support and genuinely cares for her clients’ success. I couldn’t be happier with what we were able to accomplish together!

“I just wanted to provide a huge shoutout to my amazing Holistic Career Coach - Arianna Laila Dela Rosa - for guiding me in my healing journey from former work experiences as I also embarked on a career transition. Words can't express the absolutely amazing support that I received during our sessions and I look forward to continuing our work together as I navigate the workplace as a first-generation professional.

Through her sessions, I have learned to value my voice as a strength and forgive past experiences while also learning that my identity is my superpower.

Thank you so much Arianna! ✨

At first I thought that working with a career coach would simply give me tips and tricks on how to start my own business or how to find my dream career. However, working with Arianna is so much more than just that. From the beginning, you can tell that Arianna believes in you, and sometimes having that support can be so motivating when starting something new and scary. She really makes you think about your inner critic, how it's holding you back, and she provides approachable and easy ways to overcome your inner critic. Working with Arianna almost felt like therapy because she helped me change my negative mindset into a mindset that now allows me to grow everyday. I am able to see in a perspective that is freeing and constantly growing rather than limiting myself due to my fears. The structure of the curriculum is so organized, effective, and uncomplicated which makes her coaching that much more helpful. She also makes sure that with every goal you accomplish, you are always staying true to your initial mission statement which really helps you stay aligned and centered with your vision. Her help was exactly what I needed, and I am forever grateful for this experience.

“Arianna is a skilled, thoughtful, and vision-driven career coach.

Arianna supported me by giving me feedback on how to demonstrate my impact on my resume. This support helped me understand where I was not giving myself enough credit so that I could better tell the story of my skills and vision. Her feedback also helped me prepare for job interviews. When I was working on my application to graduate school, Arianna helped me brainstorm ways to personalize my resume to showcase my intellectual curiosity and ability to succeed in an academic setting. I believe this strategic move helped me stand out and contributed to my admission.

During a critical career transition, Arianna helped me step back and assess my vision for my life and work. I was terrified that I would be unsuccessful in my new role because I had grown accustomed to success in my previous role. Having that opportunity to step back helped me re-frame my perspective; I felt more confident about leaning into learning and trusting that my skills and expertise could translate into my new role.

I highly recommend Arianna and hope we can continue to work together for many years to come!”
