“Alyssa is a brilliant and standout operator in the HR field. She has a vast knowledge from working in different industries and is very good at thinking about the positive side in any situation. She is the ultimate people manager and is an asset to anyone who comes across her. I hired Alyssa as a coach after hearing about her work experience in the HR field and her personal journey of how she started her own company. She has the ability to connect with people where they feel heard. She was always present and was ready for any questions or hurdles that got thrown her way. Alyssa would be an asset to anyone who is wanting to start their own business as she has gone through that journey and has tons of experience.”

“Alyssa Koonar is absolutely amazing! I found her on a UBC website for job coaching. I had tried another job coach, and there was no connection at all. But with Alyssa, she is not only so incredibly intuitive and engaged--she is ambitious in giving her absolute BEST to make sure you are a success in everything you endeavour to do. She is all in, giving you her 110%, and her performance is outstanding. She is incredible! She has transformed my job search experience, and I am so appreciative. Thank you Alyssa!”

If she has a life motto, it would be "set employees up for success" as this was the one thing she would always say! She's always ahead of the curve in a sense that she's able to determine roadblocks ahead of time prior to implementation. Her ability to adapt to changes is excellent as she goes above and beyond when it comes to making things happen. She's always been eager to help out where she can and would not shy away from any challenges given to her.  On another note, Alyssa has been instrumental to my growth as an HR Professional. She made sure to include me in any HR related matter that she thinks would be beneficial for my development as an HR professional whenever the opportunity arises. She entrusted me with several projects such as our health and safety initiatives and recruitment which allowed me to learn and make my own mistakes. Overall, her coaching leadership style brings the best out of anyone she works with. I'm proud to have been part of her team and would definitely love to work with her again!”
