Making an investment in your own professional skills and network is always a wise decision. The world of entrepreneurship is vast and varied, and there's always something more to learn.
But ask any businessperson — going at it alone is difficult, tiring and inevitably leaves out valuable insights. All of our perspectives are limited, and especially when you care about something (like your career) so dearly, it can be hard to see the big picture.
Soluna Career Consulting understands this intimately, inviting professionals to ask richer questions, own their story and choose a path that truly represents their values. Avoiding burnout isn't just about workload, it's about making sure that that work is fulfilling, and nourishes your heart.
Alondra brings a presence to her work that's empowering, curious and wise. You can see, in her interactions with clients, the trusting rapport she takes time to build.
The daughter of immigrants, she watched her parents work in silence and sacrifice to ensure that she'd have choices — but even after all that, Alondra found that 'doing everything right' wasn't enough.
When is it important to ask for more? How do you do so in a professional career? Are you even allowed to do something like that?
Soluna Career Consulting approaches its work with experience asking these questions, coaching professionals in a manner that builds them up, instead of tearing them down.
When Alondra approached Human Centric Media to snap photos at her website relaunch party, she made clear that it wasn't just about her business, she wanted each of her clients to have the benefit of a fresh headshot. She's always concerned with her community, and making sure that they're growing together.
Here's what Alondra said about the experience:
"From inquiry email to delivered photos, working with Ellie at Human Centric Media was fantastic! Ellie's friendly and down to earth personality makes the entire process effortless and fun! The pictures of a gathering celebrating my new website truly captured the vibes of my business and my relationships. Ellie also took headshots and they came out looking INCREDIBLE. It was hard to pick which ones to download! People felt at ease, and Ellie was able to capture BEAUTIFUL photos! I highly recommend Ellie and Human Centric Media for your photography needs!"
It was really important to us that the resulting commercial photoset didn't just properly represent Alondra, and her clients', professionalism and presence, but the bonds between them. When professionals are shopping for a coach, it's the evidence of that bond that will push them to reach out. That's the magic of producing media in an emotions-forward way.
