      Darko Z.

      It is rare that you come across standout talent and an expert like Dr. Helen Ofosu.
      The uniqueness is based on postgraduate studies, research, and professional practice combined with phenomenal personal qualities. Dr. Ofosu cares for the success of her clients.
      Ridiculously efficient, effective and resourceful, Dr. Ofosu will motivate you, help you re-discover your strengths and instill a self-confidence and belief. Then, concrete strategies will be deployed for getting you into the right career or preferred workplace. From there, personal and career development will naturally follow as a subsequent, positive, side effect.

      Dr. Helen Ofosu approach is second to none. Quote: “It’s more than career coaching, it’s career psychology.”

      Fortunately, Dr. Ofosu was my career coach and mentor.
      Hence, today I can proudly claim that I am in position to re-shape the future of the local commute by participating in Ottawa Light Rail Project funded by city of Ottawa, federal and provincial government of Canada.

      Thank you to Dr. Helen Ofosu with my heartfelt recommendation for career coaching.

      Darko
