What others have said about Annemarie

Annemarie was a God-send when I needed her the most.  She understood me at the core of who I was, apeased my fears, encouraged me to take action and gave me peace during a time of so much uncertainty, confusion and fear. 

Knowing that I had my weekly calls with Annemarie and my buddy gave me peace along with the support and perspective I needed to keep me moving forward.  I knew I wasn’t alone and that made all the difference in the world. If someone told you that working with Annemarie could mean the difference between a tumultuous transition or a peaceful, supportive and effective one… would you really hesitate?  I didn’t and it was probably the best decisions I made during my career transition.

I felt that I learned so much about myself during the time I worked with Annemarie and so will you if you’ll only allow yourself the opportunity.

Before working with Annemarie, I had a lot of questions about why I wasn’t getting where I thought I “should be” in my career. With her guidance and support, I realized there was much work for me to do around where I am right now. This work was the perfect foundation I needed so that I could make opportunities for myself that are well beyond what I thought “should be.”

-Peggy Andrews, Internal Communications Associate, Eileen Fisher

After years of unhappiness with the job I had, I decided to join Annemarie Segaric’s Buddy Coaching Program. And it really changed my life. I was able not only to leave that job, but I also learned a lot about myself.

She helped me realize how I was part of the reason I was feeling miserable about what I thought was my dream career. Annemarie really goes above and beyond the context of career coaching to help you figure out what you want and how to get there. She is an amazing professional and she won’t let you hide your real issues. I’m also very thankful for the fact that she offered additional support by email between calls.

Before I met Annemarie, I lived life as if it were a dress rehearsal. I was at a critical crossroads in my life; re-entering the workforce after taking care of a loved one, changing careers, and generally searching for my own life.

Annemarie is the best coach! I owe her a debt of gratitude for helping me discover and realize my personal and professional goals. I took Annemarie’s 92nd Street Y workshop Entering the Workforce in September 2005 and subsequently worked with her in a group. She helped me take inventory of my life, face the fear, clear out the clutter and find my core self. Annemarie’s approach is unique and fresh, giving me a new lens to look at every aspect of my life, awareness of the process, as well as the motivation to take positive action.

The results of working with Annemarie…positive choices and positive actions! I now enjoy great health – exercising five times a week and lost significant weight; actively pursuing a career change; managing my relationships, finances, living environment and hobbies. In addition, I live in the present, take risks, push myself and explore the world. I love my life!

Thank you, Annemarie!

Working with Annemarie has exceeded all my expectations. I began our coaching sessions with the hope that somewhere down the line I would figure out what type of work I wanted to do. Only four months later, I not only had an idea of the work I want to do but a clear vision of the life I want to lead. The best part is that Annemarie is working with me to build a plan for creating that life. So, now I have a destination and the first draft of a plan for getting there. Thanks. Annemarie!

Before working with you I was very scattered and confused about my direction. I was focusing on how unhappy I was in my current career instead of what I wanted for my future. After going through the Buddy Coaching program I have learned to focus on what I want and what it feels like to get what I want. My ideas are flowing, I am excited about my future, and working with more positive focus in my current job.

-Christine Boccio, career transitioner


Before coming to coaching, I knew that I wanted to start my own business, but the attempts that I had made toward that end felt unsatisfying. I was worrying more about what I "could" or "should" do with my career, than what really wanted to do. Once I started with Annemarie, I began to see that there were other issues that were holding me back, not only from starting my own business but also from feeling successful and happy with what I had already accomplished in my life. With Annemarie's help, along with my buddy, I've found focus and energy that I didn't know that I had. I'm actually taking the steps that I need to take towards a more rewarding career and, more importantly, the ability to appreciate the journey.

Before I began coaching with Annemarie I was wandering aimlessly through life, feeling frustrated and bored. I knew there was a whole other world out there I wanted to explore, yet I had no idea what it was or how to start. Working with Annemarie has inspired me to explore my true passions, which I had originally believed were unattainable for me. I am now on the path to financial, professional, and personal prosperity! All because I now know how, and realize why, up until recently, I was not manifesting my desires. I now feel motivated and happier, and I know I will attain all I require to live a truly satisfying life! I recommend Annemarie to anyone who feels they are not living up to their true potential!

Before I started work with you I was feeling confused about my career change. By actively listening and without judgment or needing specific solutions, you helped me listen to my own wisdom and find my own solutions about my own career. I now can take one day, one moment at a time. I can extend myself the same acceptance you extended me. I can be open to my life. I am a logic based science oriented left brainer. I appreciated Annemarie's grounding in engineering which gave her zen like approach authenticity.

I would be happy to discuss Annemarie's special talent. You can reach me through her.

-A. Stein, M.D.


Working with Annemarie was like having someone walk into my life, turn on the lights, and give me a tour of the place. Before working with her I was spending a great deal of energy turning my wheels. I knew I was not satisfied where I was and had always thought of my vocation as a "stepping stone", but was not clear about how to get where I wanted to be. Now not only do I have a plan, but a very clear picture of what life will be like once I get there - and it looks pretty good!

-Emily Monkman, United Management Technologies


Annemarie helped me to break through a deadlock in my life. I was out of a job for a while. I was also getting used to a new life as a house wife. I wanted to work but didn't want to go back to my previous job as a project manager for an internet company...However, after starting sessions with Annemarie, I was able to tackle the issues one by one and reorganize my life. Now, I'm attending culinary school to become a pastry chef...

- Jiyeon, Pastry Chef


I began to wonder "Will I ever actually turn these goals into reality?" I knew what I wanted but I didn't know how or where to begin. The very dreams that inspired me for so many years were beginning to be the root of my stress. It got to the point that I almost abandoned all that I ever worked for. After a short conversation with Annemarie on the phone she made me feel the spark that once fueled my creativity. Within a few weeks we put together a plan that has helped me organize my daily life and prioritize my goals making them all seem within reach.

-TF, Entrepreneur


I started coaching with Annemarie not really sure what to expect and unsure if it could really help me. I have always thought of myself as a "go getter" and naively thought "I handled myself up till now without a coach." 

I'm amazed by the growth I've seen in myself- personally and career wise. I've learned how to handle stress better, and I am producing better work in less time- something I thought was impossible. I have gained more respect from my colleagues and supervisors. I've also begun to realize my dream of being self-employed, whereas before coaching I was putting off that goal to "someday." Annemarie enables me to figure out how to start the things "I've always wanted to do someday"- by breaking the goals down.

Dear Annemarie,

I want to thank you for your coaching sessions thus far! The benefits of working with you are many. I feel focused on my goals and objectives. I find it extremely valuable having someone to discuss ideas with and streamline these ideas into realistic, achievable goals.

Before working with you, I was semi-satisfied at work with a vague idea of what I wanted to do in the next 5-10 years. My biggest challenges were organization and finances. Then, I started working with you as my coach. Working with you has given me the extra push that I needed to get going and start living the life that I want to lead. I have worked out a system to keep my personal and professional life organized. I have set up a budget for myself using the financial tools that you provided for me. I have started to achieve my short term goals and have the confidence to go after my long term goals.

Thanks to you and your coaching, I feel more motivated, focused and centered! I truly believe in your system and your methods. Thank you! If any prospective clients would like to contact me about my experience with coaching, feel free to give them my email: erawson@yahoo.com.

Sincerely,

Elena Rawson, Sales Rep
