career guidance

"Dear Alan, thank you so much for the time you spent with us on Tuesday. Both my son and I really felt that it was money well spent. We really felt that you have given my son the confidence to forge ahead now. We enjoyed your wonderful way of communicating, your great interpersonal skills which are such a help in getting the messages across to people. We will certainly keep in contact.
I shall certainly be singing your praises and passing you on by word of mouth.
Best regards and thanks again."

“Absolutely fantastic - got my son bang on”

“Discovered things about my son that we never knew about”

“Really helped (my son) to focus and move forward”

“Gave possibilities which he hadn't considered before but was very interested to pursue”

“The report is wonderful - but what really added significantly moving my son on was the interview with Mr Beckett where the depth of interpretation and discussion of implications for the future was superb.”

“Totally accurate - scary - and invaluable”

“I will certainly be recommending as much as I can that boys and their parents see Mr Beckett for a personal interview - money well spent and total value for money”

“For less than the cost of a meal out - it completely changed my son's motivation and commitment to his work and his outlook on his future”

"My son's counsellor was exceptional. He helped my son, who has always been an underachiever, realise his potential. I cannot thank you enough for the positive manner in which the session was conducted and for the profound impact it has had on my son."

“I recommend your services to all aspiring "high school" students and thank the Principal, by copy, for bringing you on campus. I would hope that future years will allow for greater numbers of our students to benefit from the insights Step One offers."

“Thank you for your time, insights, and professionalism last Saturday. I found the process very productive and, I was very pleased that you had the chance to reinforce both my daughter's capabilities and the self-expectations she should have, just after the less than satisfactory PSAT results.”

“We wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for meeting with my son and myself last week. We both found your comments helpful and constructive, and my son in particular appeared to benefit from the "superior wisdom" of an expert. “

"Given the cost of college these days I was not prepared to invest until my daughter had some sense of direction for her life. This she now has. Thank you Step One."
