“I hired Daisy while I was considering a career shift to another position. Through an unexpected turn of events, I ended having two opportunities open up, and had to choose between two very good offers. Working with Daisy, I was able to really crystallize my core values and objectives, and make a decision confidently. Daisy also helped me in affirming my value so that I could assertively – and successfully – negotiate a compensation model I’m very happy with. Sensible, down-to-earth, and savvy, Daisy “gets it”. Considering how quickly career decisions add up professionally, financially, and emotionally, for me it was a no-brainer to invest in good advice.” DK
