"The consultant was excellent at creating an open space for me to speak. Some of the tests in the vocational section might have made me panicked, she did a great job of keeping a judgment-free zone. Having the whole working world in front of you to navigate is extremely stressful and for me can feel like a big black pit of uncertainty. MacKenzie killed it!" – Client
