What clients are saying:

  • "Working with Rik was a game-changer for me. I was struggling with showing up confident and authentic in interviews and often felt like I had to put on a performance rather than just be myself. Rik was incredibly helpful—he brought a thoughtful, inquisitive, and genuinely curious approach to our sessions. He asked fantastic questions that really pushed me to see things from a different perspective and helped me reconnect with my own strengths and story. Thanks to his support, I walked into my interview with a new level of confidence and clarity. I can’t recommend him enough."
