What people are saying

Marina’s coaching changed how I talk about my work. My manager literally said, "You SOUND like a director now."

I joined UX Mentor Diairies substack first, then was offered to beta-test the Brag Sheet.

For the first time, I'm about to walk into my review feeling proud instead of defensive.
— Michelle L., UX Lead
