Amy L. says, "After trying to do it all on my own for five years, I reached a point where I realized I couldn’t keep going that way. I had hit a wall and knew I needed the support of someone who could walk with me, challenge me, and help me navigate the inner and outer clutter I was facing. That’s when I found my Allison—and working with her has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I was very hesitation to start and almost did not take the first step to break my pattern of inactivity due to being stuck for many years. Her loving nudge helped me feel safe to take the first step. When we started, I was emotionally frozen and overwhelmed. I knew I needed to make changes, but I couldn’t seem to move forward. I felt stuck, not just in my physical space, which desperately needed decluttering, but also in my mind, my heart, and my patterns. I was weighed down by invisible blocks I couldn’t name, let alone break through. From the very first session, my coach brought clarity, warmth, structure, and powerful insight to the process. She helped me identify deeply rooted childhood wounds that were still running the show—particularly the belief that I had to do everything on my own, that I couldn’t ask for help, and that my feelings were something to suppress or manage quietly. Through our 1 month of work together so far —I began to shift. I didn’t just start “feeling my feelings”; I began to value them as guides. Emotions I had suppressed for years started to rise, and instead of being afraid of them or trying to hide from them, I started to welcome them. That shift alone was life-changing. For the first time, I felt free to let go of big things—physically and emotionally. I was able to release a major item I had held onto for years, one that represented a painful chapter in my life. And I did it not out of pressure, but out of peace. That’s the kind of transformation this work has sparked in me. Another major breakthrough was seeing how my early experiences had shaped my relationships and held me back from reaching out, setting boundaries, or speaking my truth. My coach helped me unpack the misalignments I was experiencing in key relationships and gave me tools to begin addressing them in real-time. I now feel more aware, more empowered, and more aligned with the kind of life and relationships I want to build. What I love most about my coach is her incredibly effective style. She’s compassionate, empathetic, and caring—but also direct, firm, and efficient. She doesn’t waste time, and yet she holds space so generously. She’s lively, fun, and grounded, with an amazing ability to pull deep insights and solutions from even the smallest bits of information. Time and again, she’s offered me perspectives I never would have thought of—perspectives that sparked real change and gave me hope. I truly cannot recommend her enough. I would gladly send my entire family and all of my friends her way, because I’ve seen firsthand what’s possible when you have the right person supporting your growth. She’s not just a coach—she’s a catalyst, a guide, and a game-changer."See more

Rogue Warrior says, "If you want your son to play college baseball, you absolutely must work with Coach Mazz and College Baseball Advisors. I would give 10 stars if google would go that high.First, read his book and check out his website and podcasts.Next, schedule a consultation. He will guide you through the process, especially with what to do and what not to do, and when to do it. He will tell you truthfully if your kid can play college ball and at which levels. Travel ball coaches think all their players are great because they are such a great coach and their organization is so good.Then he makes a list and plan just for your son, because each player is different. Get him asap. Earlier the better. Dont wait until fall of senior year.Dont think that you only need an advisor if your son is going high d1. Not true. There are just too many other players to compete with. We went to a major showcase, there were around 300 players in our morning session and the same in the afternoon. And the same again on day 2. I needed Mazz to tell the coaches to look specifically for my son.You can always reach him quickly by phone and text when you have immediate questions about showcases or camps or schools. He will zoom with you and your son when either of you have questions that need more explanation.If you try to do it yourself, its just too overwhelming and you dont have enough time or experience, even if you think you do. You still have to work on your own, but you need someone to guide you. Sometimes its a long game, with interest in one school leading to interest months later from a different school. Mazz knows how to work this.You can try one of the database websites that say coaches check there for players, but they are hit or miss. Is the hc/recrutiting coord actually checking the internet or is it a volunteer grad assistant? Coach Mazz and CBA know the decision makers. Personally.***MOST IMPORTANT: Your hs coach/travel coach will say they can get you recruited because they know college coaches, but do they just see them at games or if/when they call the baseball office? Do they have the coaches personal cell # ? Can they text them right this minute and get an immediate response? Coach Mazz can and will! I have seen it! ***Best investment ever! If your son has come this far where he may have a chance to play in college, you must get Coach Mazz and College Baseball Advisors!"See more

Lenore M. says, "Alicia has amazing energy, genuinely is a great person and a PHENOMENAL career coach. ​S​he delivered far more than I expected​ in our first coaching session. ​As I've been contemplating a shift in careers, I ​l​ogged in ​to our coaching session feeling scattered​, but signed off excited to have ​more clarity and a concrete plan. ​ Alicia sent over a set of short assessments before our ​call. I​t gave me intentional space to take an inventory​ of strengths and motivators ​and offered an opportunity to really reflect on ​interests and past work experience. She had clearly reviewed everything in advance and came in with thoughtful insights and questions that made our time incredibly focused. A​licia helped me connect my values to real job targets in a way that made ​a lot of sense. ​Her guidance created further space for me to identif​y strengths I had been overlooking, framed my experience ​t​o position me toward new job possibilities, and mapped next steps that ​that felt actionable.​ The most powerful part was how she connected my past exposure to careers within family, friend and community circles to the beliefs that have been shaping my choices. We mapped patterns across past roles and career exposures and named the stories I carry about stability, service, perfection, and conflict avoidance. Seeing those threads laid out helped me separate must haves from shoulds. From there she reframed my experience into clear themes and transferable skills such as client advocacy, facilitation, operations, and teaching. For the first time my background felt coherent instead of scattered. If you are pivoting, returning to the workforce, or ready to level up, book a session​ with Alicia. I felt seen, challenged in kind ways, and walked away with clarity and momentum. If you want coaching that ties who you are to the work you do and turns that insight into action, book a session with ​A​licia. I am moving forward with confidence and a map I can actually use.​ I'm so grateful for Alicia's guidance through this transition time. She's truly a warm and kind soul, beautiful inside and out. ​I​ am so grateful and thankful for her."See more

What is a career coach?

If you’re interested in furthering your career and want expert help, a career coach is a smart solution.

  • Helping you build a strong resume that reflects your work history, potential, and skills

  • Coaching for interviews and strategies for solid answers built around your resume and the target job

  • Defining your career goals

  • Creating a plan for job searching
