Tonya's story

Leadership offered no guidance. I couldn’t see a future that excited me. As a single mother without a college degree, I had worked incredibly hard to build my life, but I was ready for something new—something fulfilling, flexible, and aligned with the kind of semi-retirement lifestyle I was dreaming of. I just didn’t know where to start. 

That changed the day I spoke with La Mar. 

In our first call, he confidently told me he could help me create the future I deserved—and I believed him. I signed up for the Platinum Package and began a coaching journey that would reshape how I saw myself, my value, and my possibilities. 

We kicked things off with a DISC Assessment and a deep reflection on my professional path—past experiences, current challenges, and future goals. From that foundation, La Mar helped me define my personal brand: “Embracing New Challenges.” It wasn’t just a phrase—it became a mindset. A shift. 

I had doubts, especially about using platforms like LinkedIn. I didn’t think I had anything meaningful to say or that my story mattered. But La Mar showed me how much power I held in my background, perspective, and voice. He taught me how career management is mine to own—and how to wield that power with confidence. 

Suddenly, everything began to align. I started engaging on LinkedIn—contributing to conversations, sharing my experience, joining professional groups. I became a visible and active presence in my industry. 

With La Mar’s expert coaching, I optimized my resume, redefined my job search strategy, and gained the tools I needed to walk into interviews prepared and confident. I joined a national professional association, started volunteering, attended my first industry conference, and enrolled in my first certification program. That’s right—my first, and definitely not my last. 

As La Mar would say, I’m now immersed in my career field. And for the first time in years, I feel like my future is in my hands. That’s not just empowering—it’s life-changing. 

To anyone considering a career reinvention—whether you're early in your journey or, like me, thinking it might be too late—lace up your shoes and step into your transformation. La Mar’s coaching is more than a program. It’s a powerful partnership that unlocks the best in you.
