Crystal Marsh Career Coaching

If you find yourself at a crossroads, whether it have to do with your career or another aspect of your life, and you are unsure how to proceed, a session with Crystal may be all you need!
I first crossed paths with Crystal at UCLA, when she and a colleague spoke to us alumni about finding passion and purpose in our careers. She spoke in a sweet, yet strong voice, as she recounted her own personal story of how left an amazing career that didn’t seem to quite fit, to ultimately finding a passionate, purposeful and fulfilling job as a life and career coach. The genuineness and vulnerability of her life’s story resonated with me so much that I knew I needed to seek her out to assist me in my own life issues.
I recently graduated and was bombarded with the question, «What are you going to do with your life?» or some version of that. That question seemed to carry so much weight and kept haunting me at every turn. I became so overwhelmed with making the «wrong» choice that I became too paralyzed to make ANY move at all. I kept thinking about what my family would want me to do, or what all my friends were doing with their lives, and even what other people my age were doing. I was too focused on others’ wants and opinions, that my own fell by the wayside. When I encountered Crystal at that career event, I knew that this woman was just the person I needed to help me sort through all my doubts and fears and find my true passion and purpose. So I met with her and the results surpassed even my greatest expectations.
Her office was very cozy and inviting. Her voice and demeanor were very soft and comforting. I felt immediately at ease and felt that it was a safe place for me to be open and vulnerable. She asked questions that delved to the core of my issues. She was patient and attentive, thoughtful and intuitive in her responses. She carefully helped me sort through all my thoughts and feelings, never judging but encouraging. She helped me envision a promising future that I not only wanted but now knew I had it within me to attain. As we wrapped up our session, she gave me homework. She gave me a thoughtful list of things to do to help me heal as a person and also steps to work towards my career goals as well. I am in total awe and gratitude of this woman and her amazing skills.
You will absolutely not regret seeking out Crystal’s help and expertise. The original consultation is free, so what have you got to lose?

Working with Crystal was such a gift she is very compassionate, but also very direct and not at all afraid to call me on irrational thinking.
I’m not her typical client as I wasn’t really thinking career coaching but looking for a life coach. I read several articles she wrote and was compelled to follow up. After reading the other great reviews I was interested in speaking with her. Crystals work with me was general life coaching, she greatly exceeded my expectations. All of our sessions were over the phone. I believe she does Skype sessions, but I was able to connect with her and found her were very powerful even without the face to face interaction. She allowed me to see when I was telling a story either about myself or other people or circumstances– it was a revelation for me. Our sessions always left me feeling energized and full of more insight.
Crystal is funny, encouraging, positive, and wise beyond her years. I knew she would have to be academically gifted because she’s a lawyer as am I but some of her insights and reflections blew me away. If you have the opportunity to work with her, you must– you will be glad you did.

My business is so much better working with such a talented, patient, and intuitive coach.
Crystal is insanely smart and good at what she does and I am so lucky to have her as my business coach. I am a first-​time business owner and just wish I had met her sooner!

I originally came to Crystal in hopes to find some clarity in what my next steps should be in my career. I had just left my job and I knew I didn’t want to just take another job for a job but find something that I would really love. In my first conversation with Crystal, she asked me to close my eyes and visualize what it would be like to work at your dream job, be surrounded by smart people, and truly be excited about the work I was doing. It’s hard to describe how I felt after that, but I just felt relieved, and could actually envision what that scenario would be like. From that point I knew she would be able help me get to that point.
So in the time I have been working with her, it has been a real refreshing experience that has allowed me to really look inside myself to see what I want in the next step of my life. Her positive attitude and ability to relate to my experiences has given me the confidence to use her techniques and advice in real life situations. Overall I just feel very comfortable opening up to her, as I can tell she genuinely loves what she does and is passionate about helping other people find their ways. I am excited to continue to work with her and see where her guidance can take me.

I am currently working with Crystal to get clear on my career endeavors and all I can say is, «WOW!» Crystal is warm-​spirited, polished, meticulous, and extremely perceptive. Just on our first session alone, she was able to provide me with an incredible amount of insight as to how my career/​life vision may fit well with various career options. I haven’t been able to do that for myself since graduating college (it has been about 4 years) and I was amazed at how Crystal was able to do that so quickly. Crystal is such a positive-​spirit and influence in my life and I love that she gently pushes me to become my best self. I’m so encouraged by her and look forward to our next sessions every time!

I am currently working with Crystal and it has been such an inspiring experience! Before working with Crystal, I was unclear on what direction I wanted to take my business. I had a successful (enough) first year providing broad and general life coaching services, but I felt stuck. My business was lacking a purpose/​mission, and my creative juices were stagnant. Since working with Crystal I have felt revitalized! After our first call I spent 10 hours creating again! Crystal is very easy to talk with, she asks thought provoking questions and has coached me in a gentle and positive way through some of the more difficult answers. Over the course of our sessions, I have gotten clear on what direction I want to take my business, and Crystal has given me the tools to grow it in a way that is authentic to who I am as a person and business owner. I highly recommend working with her!

In the time Crystal and I worked together, she made such a positive impact in my overall attitude, life outlook, and emotional health and well-​being.
Prior to working with Crystal, I had difficulty taming the recurring loop of negative thoughts and emotions that would inevitably be there every morning as soon as I opened my eyes. I was constantly overanalyzing my work, family conversations, relationships, tensions with friends — you name it. In our very first session, it was immediately evident that Crystal is such a genuinely positive person and a great listener who truly cares about helping her clients succeed not only in their career, but in their lives holistically.
Crystal allowed me to choose the focus of each session — my goals were always the focus of our work together. She would recap the stories I was telling and helped me see where I was holding myself back through limiting beliefs and fears. Crystal helped me visualize what I wanted for myself, bringing me down to a calm, centered place before asking questions that aided me in diving further into specific experiences and feelings. At the end of every session, Crystal also provided great focus points and a type of «homework» and action steps for the week. These provided me with a sense of purpose and direction in my actual progress, which I loved!
This was my first experience working with a coach and Crystal made it such an incredibly warm, fun, nurturing experience for me. I will definitely be recommending her to all people in my circle who are seeking purpose and greater career fulfillment.

Before knowing Crystal, I would get discouraged feeling like I was constantly working toward life goals, but yet never achieving them, or getting sidetracked along the way. After knowing Crystal, I am motivated to pursue what makes me happy, and have learned how to figure out and pursue what makes me happy without getting distracted. Instead of just thinking about what I want out of life and setting goals in my head (and then getting «too busy» to accomplish them), I put my goals down on paper and am able to actually develop a plan for achieving them.

Crystal is an amazing life coach. She’s a great listener and knows the right questions to ask. I work in the entertainment industry and I have been struggling with finding the right place for myself in this wacky place called Hollywood. During my sessions with her, Crystal guided me through finding the clarity I need to pursue my professional endeavors as well as suggesting effective exercises to help me build strong work habits that will lead me to greater success. Crystal was born to be a life coach and anyone that works with her will know it as soon as they are done with their first session with her.

I wanted to work with Crystal because I had heard amazing experiences from her other clients who gained clarity during their sessions. I was floating in a space of feeling overwhelmed and bogged down with «shoulds» rather than what excites me as I create my business. I felt stuck, circling around what I needed to do but not getting where I wanted to go.
During my session with Crystal, I felt comfortable from the very beginning. It was easy for me to open up and share where I was and what I was going through. I had expected her to be all masculine energy with an aggressive nature but she was surprisingly very feminine which allowed me to be more open. I approached our session with my trusty list of questions and quickly realized where I needed support had nothing to do with anything on my list.
Crystal helped me recognize my blocks around becoming a business woman. She asked me powerful questions to get to the root of some of my limiting beliefs and allowed me to create a new path that is aligned with who I am becoming as a business woman. I was surprised how quickly Crystal was able to hone in on what was holding me back in my business and guide me to a new mindset. I feel empowered after our session and feel such a sense of confidence as I build my new business. I found Crystal’s coaching to be a beautiful mix of power and tenderness.

I have never considered working with a business coach, and to be totally transparent, never really believed in the field or industry (due to my own ignorance of not knowing what to expect).
Recent events in my running my business, however, have led me to the self-​realization that I need outside perspective. My company is at a critical stage in which I’ve very quickly grown from zero to seven figures in revenue. I personally work with some very demanding customers and have been having trouble managing some of the anxiety that goes with running a thriving company (yes, that sounds weird). Running a business can feel isolating, and sometimes, I feel very very alone.
Crystal is a person I’ve always respected, and when I read her story and learned about her business, I thought that she might be in a position to help me. I approached her with an open mind but with little confidence that she (or anyone for that matter) would be able to help me.
In 20 minutes, she helped me solve one of the biggest pain points that I’ve been experiencing in growing my business. I applied some of her recommended techniques at my next meeting (with one of my most challenging customers) and found myself rejuvenated with confidence and optimism.
It’s been a few weeks since Crystal and I have spoken (probably time for our next session!), but I have been actively relying on and benefitting from what I’ve learned from our call together. What was impressive was that she did not hand me a boilerplate set of ‘tips.’ Rather, she guided me towards my own solution.

I didn’t have any hesitations about working with Crystal. It is clear that she is very passionate about making a powerful impact in others’ lives. My favorite part about working with Crystal is that she is engaging and supportive and at the same time, up front and honest. I was able to open up to her and discuss personal challenges without feeling judged, and Crystal was empathetic while also offering valuable advice and solutions for overcoming mental roadblocks. Crystal helped me zero in on my career goals and worked with me to come up with tangible steps I could take to help achieve my goals. I would recommend Crystal to anyone who is in transition, especially people that have had some job experience but are looking to focus in on their career and long term goals. Crystal definitely holds you accountable, and she wants to see you succeed. Be prepared to walk away from your conversations with action steps that you will complete to get you one step closer to achieving your goal and living with purpose!

A few months ago I started my own business after many years of being unhappy with my 9 – 5, frustrated with poor managers and tired of playing office politics. I’ve been lucky to have supportive friends and family throughout the process, but haven’t really had anyone to talk with about the daily anxieties of starting my own business and my long-​term vision for success.
Through my work with Crystal, I have been able to identify some weaknesses and reflect on my strengths. Crystal helped pinpoint a few areas where I was holding myself back from achieving to my full potential and had some great advice for shifting my perspective. She also asked me great questions about my ultimate goals and vision, something I haven’t really done much during the start-​up phase. I tend to get wrapped up in details and appreciate her thoughtful questions directed at the long term. This is been hugely helpful as I create my strategic plan for the next few years and project out my business’ growth and development. I am glad I worked with Crystal and would highly recommend her!

I’m so grateful I started working with Crystal. Before working with Crystal, I was not the narrator of my own story. I was a firm believer that life just happens to you. Crystal taught me to come from a place of abundance, to recognize my strengths, and cultivate my desire for change over time. Over the years I mistakenly assumed that change had to be immediate and that instantaneous results equated to success. Instead, Crystal taught me the value of nourishing the desire for change and creating realistic expectations based on my personal vision – not what I believed others expected of me. By embracing the beauty in change over time, I was able to visualize change in a positive manner and experience the change I wanted for myself as it happened. Crystal is a beautiful person who offers a safe place for personal expression, development, and realizations. Crystal helped and continues to help me realize that I can envision the change I want for myself and more importantly, make it happen on my own terms. I trust Crystal’s intuition and experience whole heartedly and look forward to furthering my transition from the basic to the extraordinary. Thank you, Crystal, for helping me see the limitless possibilities for my career and life!

When I first came to Crystal I was primarily looking for balance in my personal and professional life. By asking me questions that allowed me to focus on what I want and need, Crystal was able to help me change my way of thinking and living and develop the balance I was looking for. The best thing about working with Crystal is that she does not tell you the answers, she helps you find the answers yourself, which is so much more empowering. Through my work with Crystal, the balance I was seeking now comes naturally to me.

Working with Crystal was so helpful! Look, straight-​up I’m really good at coming up with ideas, but really BAD about creating and following action plans. That’s kind of a problem if you’re in business for yourself! Crystal was able to push me out of my comfort zone to come up with an action plan, and was able to guide me through the tough emotions and anxieties that it brought forward. I came away from our session with a clear sense of what to do next, and feeling excited about it instead of just freaked out and anxious! (If you knew me, you’d know what a big deal that is.) A++++, a bazillion stars, refer to whatever rating system you like — just work with her! You’ll be glad you did.

This may sound cheesy but working with Crystal has allowed me to get crystal clear on how to approach my budding business in a way that’s authentic and soul– centered. She helped me to break through my mental barriers to feel like I was capable of achieving the exact success I am looking for right today in this moment. Talking with her has propelled me into taking inspired action towards my business goals rather than acting from a place of impulsivity. I would definitely recommend working with her if you desire clarity in how to move forward in your business!

I’ve known Crystal personally for nearly 10 years and when I heard about her new professional endeavor, I was thrilled she was sharing her wisdom, compassion, and experience as a career coach. My sessions with Crystal have left me with a sense of confidence, grounding, and focus; I have a more defined purpose. She has inspired me explore, using compassion and non-​judgement to help me communicate my true feelings authentically. She has encouraged me to consider alternative perspectives and approach challenges (both small and large) with self-​love and strength. Working with Crystal was transformative for me — I highly recommend working with her.

Working with Crystal is awesome! In the past, I had no one to give me well researched, solid guidance when I had questions or problems with my professional and personal life. I would try to figure things out for myself or ask friends and often get overwhelmed with my own thoughts and problems and lost inside my introspective head. Working with Crystal allows me to sort out my thoughts in a very concrete, helpful way. She gives me guidance and advice by asking questions about what I want to happen and what I hope to get out of a situation or problem. She doesn’t impose her own opinions on me, merely helps me get the results and outcomes that I want. I can always count on Crystal to shed light on a recurring problem or offer amazing insight. My work with her has given me so much clarity and direction.

Before working with Crystal I was really struggling to determine how to move forward in my career, particularly whether I should go to business school. I had a great career with a great company, but wasn’t sure if I was reaching my full potential. Working with Crystal allowed me to gain so much clarity — she helped me to find my own true reasons for choosing to pursue my MBA. She taught me how to focus on myself, my own definitions of success and fulfillment as opposed to doing what others thought I should do. She helped me to figure out what is truly important to me so I could make the right decisions on behalf of myself, not to please others. Despite having to make sacrifices, going to business school was one of the BEST decisions I’ve ever made. I’m thrilled to see where my career takes me from here and I’m so grateful to Crystal for the clarity and vision she helped me get in my career.

Before working with Crystal I did not look at situations in my life in their entirety when considering ways I could improve, and I did not always see how my actions created the results in my life. I lacked direction. After working with Crystal I’m more aware of my thoughts and how I create my own life and reality. I have so much more clarity around my vision for my career and life — I view my career in the context of the rest of my life and view my whole life more holistically. I transitioned into a job that I love and am excited about and have started my own blog! I’m so much more fulfilled in my career and personal life now and am happy to be doing work that I find enjoyable and meaningful.
