What others have said...

“Little did I know that walking into that meeting would reveal so much
about myself, and my potential.  As a student I never thought that
some of the rather "hidden" dreams and talents would really mean
much, but seeing it on paper has opened my eyes.  It helped me look
at my education with more understanding.”  

“As a parent of a middle school student, the session was helpful to
gain insight into my daughter's abilities and interests prior to high
school.  We have seen strong gifts in her but this experience with
Dave revealed some new areas of interests that resonated with our
daughter that we are eager to explore.  It was such a valuable tool for
her.”

“Dave met with me to process "mid-life" career issues.  Questions
like, "Is this all there is?" "Is this what I'm made for?"  "Am I really
meant to do this the rest of my life?"  He helped me wrestle with not
only questions of my vocational and personality aptitudes, using well-
established tests, but also of my dreams, desires, and
understanding of God's design and purpose.”  

“I have been to other career counselors prior to using Direction 4 Life
Work.  My experience with Dave Booram was far superior to my
previous experience and I feel this is predominately because of
Dave’s ability to listen.”  

“Since I have been a homemaker primarily since college, it was a
great time for me to begin to ponder the next phase of my life work
after the children are gone.”  

“I must admit that when I entered into the career counseling process I
felt a bit overwhelmed and stuck.  As a result of Dave’s caring
approach, professional input and encouraging manner, I am now
enrolled in a post graduate program to acquire skills necessary to
venture out in a new direction.”  

“Whenever I would think of what I wanted to be when I grew up, I used
to have no idea.  But now, I can't wait to put my ideas to practice.”

“As a result of the assessments Dave had me complete I learned
about how I perceive and process the world around me and have a
clearer picture of how my interests could translate into fulfilling work.”

“Dave Booram is a caring and knowledgeable guide who helped me
identify not only my interests but also how I, as a unique individual,
might interact in today’s world in the areas of those interests.”  

“During our conversations, a number of light bulbs came on.  I can
honestly say that I left the experience with new vision and excitement
about my future as well some practical steps.”  

“Dave, I like what you said about "making a small investment" that will
help a person identify and then focus on the degree or career they
were born to pursue. I've spent the last year doing just that. Leaving
things behind and shifting a well established paradigm has been
pretty hard, but the process was very necessary. I have a better idea
now of "who I am," and don't feel so tied anymore to identifying myself
by "what I do."

"My experience with college and career counseling was awesome. I
was always so set on what I wanted to do, but not so thrilled about it.
Dave Booram was so personal, and it wasn't just about my test
results or scores. It was about who I was and what my personality
demanded. Now, with his help, I've discovered where my true
passion lies and I can't wait to get started!"

"Processing through my personality, preferences, and job
possibilities provided some timely clarification about my current job; it
affirmed that I want to make a change.  Knowing that I need and want
to make a change, has allowed me freedom to think about other
career choices but also freedom to pursue some other of my
interests, such as family, friends, church, and other pleasures.  It was
a very helpful experience!”

“My heart overflows with gratefulness when I ponder all you did for me
(in just two meetings, too!). I had no idea this experience would be so
invaluable to me.”

“The assessment results confirmed and affirmed me, giving me
concrete facts that dissolve any self-doubts still lingering in my brain.
It gives me ambition to fight off the lies I’ve been battling and courage
to stand up for what I know is true in my heart.”

“My meeting with Dave was probably different than his usual
meetings.  I had already pulled many things together and worked
through various avenues prior to he and I meeting.  He and I then met
for a session and I laid out what I had done and where I was headed
mostly looking for an outside perspective. I feel that Dave is a good
listener and offers good counsel.  He is also flexible to work out a
program that meets the individual’s needs.”
