Testimonials

I connected with Donna through a family medicine mentorship network while preparing my residency application. She guided me through rewriting my personal statement and application materials using her Toughlove technique, which pushed me to dig deeper and present my story authentically. With her support, I was able to submit a much stronger application, match into a family medicine program, and ultimately graduate. I’m deeply grateful for her guidance and encouragement throughout the process. Now, I am able to return the favor because I had a great mentor who led me.

I worked with Donna during a big transition point in my career as a physician. She encouraged me and walked me through accepting a role with greater responsibilities at a time when I wasn’t sure I was ready. That experience ended up changing my life. I learned so much through the process, and since then, I’ve landed an even better position that’s perfect for me and my family. I’m so grateful for Donna’s guidance, and anyone who gets to work with her as a career coach is lucky.

I’ve known Donna for over a decade. I worked with her on reassessing my career options after feeling stuck in the same job I’d had for 10 years. Through our sessions, we explored my priorities, skills, and preferences—and I realized something surprising: I’m actually happy where I am. Career coaching with Donna helped me see that I already have my dream job. Thanks, Donna!

Donna has been an amazing career coach in my transition from recruiting to sales. She has a true gift for encouraging and motivating while also giving practical, results-focused advice. Thanks to her coaching, I feel prepared and excited to succeed in sales. I’m grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone looking to make a career transition or level up professionally.

I don’t know who, where, or what I would be if I had not serendipitously encountered Donna Consulting. As a first-generation medical student and IMG, Donna helped me navigate the U.S. medical system, prepare for residency, survive my time there, and ultimately discover my own unique path in medicine. Donna has the gift of listening and mirroring back our own unparalleled stories, which helps us find strength, confidence, and pride in who we are and how we are best able to show up and serve. I am very appreciative of Donna and the gifts she brings to the world.
