Y'all. I almost talked myself out of it. I found a job so fast after joining Rich and Hired that I genuinely wondered if I'd wasted my money. Like, okay, great, mission accomplished, right? But I'm just now walking into my new role, and I already know this investment is going to be worth every dollar. Having Jordan to help me build my executive presence, hit the ground running, get up to speed, and decide my rocks for these first two months? That's not something I'm willing to figure out alone. She helped me prep for my interviews with so much confidence, and now she gets to help me actually show up well in the job I landed. If you're on the fence because you think you don't need the full program, I thought the same thing. I was wrong. Don't skip the coaching. Especially not Jordan.

I signed up for Rich and Hired because I was laid off unexpectedly. The Rich and Hired ad came up on my IG feed by the grace of God and Chelsea was super responsive, supportive, and kind via her DMs. I scheduled a call to talk more about Rich and Hired. During our call Chelsea was super nice, kind, and supportive. I signed up for 2 reasons: 1) I wanted a guide/coach/someone by my side on this super difficult and uncertain journey, and 2) because this program was going to teach me strategies that I didn’t know to land a job rather quickly. I am super grateful and thankful for payment plan the Rich and Hired program offers because otherwise I would not have been able to join. During my time in Rich and Hired, I was coached by my coach Diana. This program taught me to rebrand myself in a way that highlights my strengths and skills, how to position myself as the best fit for roles by figuring out what problem that particular job post needed to resolve, and how to network. Rich and Hired also highly encouraged nervous-system regulation for those times when your body or mind feels triggered or unsafe. I knew about nervous-system regulation and it was nice to be in a program that highly encourages it because most people do not believe in it, but it actually works. One day I had 3 job interviews in 1 day and I was very afraid, but nervous-system regulation and the reframing coaching from Coach Diana got me through them. I am extremely grateful to have had a coach by my side who was there to support me, help me reframe unhelpful thoughts, remind me that I was on the right track and on the right path during the difficult parts of the job-search process, remind me that rejections are part of the process and that I did not do anything wrong; they are just specific preferences some hiring managers have, and encouraged me to keep going, keep doing my homework, keep tweaking things, and also rest and enjoy life even in the middle of this very hard and unfortunate situation. I thought I had to look for a job, apply, and interview for jobs 24/7, but Coach Diana taught me to actually take time off, rest, do things I enjoy, and not be so critical of myself. I felt extremely supported in Rich and Hired; Coach Diana was amazing to work with, and all the others were amazing too. I learned a lot from Coach Diana, Chelsea, and all the coaches who hosted the weekly and monthly group coaching calls. Rich and Hired teaches you strategies to help you get seen to get interviews that hopefully become job offers. One of these strategies that Rich and Hired teaches is a strategic post on LinkedIn announcing exactly what job you are looking for (so your network can help you), and that is how I landed my job offer. One of my LinkedIn connections saw my post that I was actively looking for a job and the kind of job I was looking for, and my connection sent me a job post that the place she works had posted. I applied and I landed a job offer, and I am super happy, grateful, and excited for what my future holds. I am super grateful and thankful for the Rich and Hired program! Big Thank you to Coach Diana and Chelsea!

RHA is one of the best decisions I made for my professional career. RHA doesn't just want you to get your next job, but builds up your long-term career strategy. What sets RHA apart from other coaching programs is the strong foundation of assessment - assessing your inner world and aligning your future career goals with it. In this current world, the job market can be terrifying and exhausting and RHA makes sure you make it through as a whole person. I emerged from the program confident in my skills and experiences and what I want out of my career. They provide an incredible amount of materials and the biweekly 1:1 coaching is fantastic! You receive support from other participants and individualized coaching from your assigned coach from Day 1 to the end. My next step earned me a 77% increase in pay, better benefits, less responsibilities, and work-life balance. RHA was the perfect place to not just get a new job but truly start a new chapter in my life that blends what I'm good at, what I like, and what I deserve to be paid.

I had a very positive experience with RHA. Bi-weekly calls with my coach, a plethora of online resources, and fast support enabled me to realize my full potential and what would truly make me happy in my career. I recommend this program to anyone feeling lost, burnt out, or looking for something new in their career!

I can’t say enough good things about the Rich and Hired coaching program. This program provides not only the practical tools and strategies needed to navigate today’s job market, but also the emotional support that so many people need during a career transition. What really sets it apart is the combination of one-on-one coaching and group support. Having access to a dedicated coach made such a difference for me. Diana was incredibly supportive, encouraging, and insightful throughout the process. She genuinely cared, helped me build confidence, improve my interview skills, and reminded me to keep going even during the discouraging moments of the job search. The group calls also created a sense of community that made the process feel far less isolating. Hearing other people’s experiences, challenges, and successes helped me stay motivated and reminded me that I wasn’t alone in this journey. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need guidance navigating a career transition, I highly recommend Rich and Hired. It’s much more than career coaching, it’s support, accountability, strategy, and encouragement all in one.

So grateful to have found the Rich and Hired Academy as someone in her early mid-twenties! I got a few job offers (secured a role by the time I was done with the program) and, most importantly, learned how to build a fresh network, update my resume, and shift my mindset. Forever thankful to the amazing Coach Diana, couldn't have done it without her support!

After leaving a company I’d been with for 10 years, I felt completely confused and lost. I knew I needed to do some serious soul-searching and make a change, but I had no idea how to take the first step. When I found this program, I was honestly nervous about the investment, but I’m so glad I trusted my gut and signed up. One of the biggest gifts of the program was the community. Being surrounded by supportive, motivating, like-minded women made such a difference and reminded me I wasn’t alone in what I was navigating. I also loved how process-oriented the program was. As someone who thrives on structure and tangible next steps, having a clear framework and actionable guidance made it much easier to move forward with confidence. That said, the most valuable part of the experience ended up being the less tangible work. Coming from a science background, I was skeptical of things like mindset work, affirmations, and manifesting - it all felt a little “woo woo” to me at first. But to my surprise, that inner work was absolutely key and ended up being the most transformative part of the program. When you combine that mindset shift with real, strategic guidance from a former recruiter who truly understands how things work behind the scenes, it’s pure magic. About four months into the program, I received three job offers back to back. The role I ultimately accepted came with a $20k salary increase. If you’re on the fence, do yourself a favor and just do it. This program truly pays for itself - and the growth, confidence, and clarity you gain are a gift that keeps on giving.

I joined this coaching program knowing I wanted more for my career, but I didn’t fully realize how much I was holding myself back until I went through it. This program goes far beyond job searching. It helped me land a VP role and confidently negotiate my salary and total compensation, but what really makes it different is the depth of the work. The modules don’t just focus on tactics, they also focus on mindset, mental blocks, and visualization. That part was a game changer for me. It helped me get clear on what I actually wanted, recognize what was limiting me, and show up with a completely different level of confidence. Working with Coach Diana was incredible. She has a way of seeing your strengths and translating them into opportunities you wouldn’t naturally consider. She introduced me to roles and titles I wouldn’t have searched for on my own, but that were actually perfectly aligned with my experience and capabilities. Because of this program, I didn’t just apply for jobs. I positioned myself differently and showed up as an executive. If you’re ready to elevate your mindset, expand what you believe is possible, and land your next role while being compensated what you’re truly worth, this program is absolutely worth it.
