We came across Poonam when we were exploring options (education and career) for our child. It was a pleasure to see how she ran the process. She spent a fair bit of time understanding our teenager's interests and what he has done in and outside of school. She supplemented this with a psychometric test to elicit strengths and weaknesses. Post analysis, when she held a counselling session with us collectively, I felt that she had understood our child quite well. She provided various education and career options, some of which were expected but also others that we were not really aware of. She also helped chart out a plan for our child to achieve his goals. All in all a wonderful experience ... And one that I would recommend for any parent confused about how to proceed with selection of education and career options for their child.

It was a very detailed session with Poonam bringing in clarity that we required. We were a lot confused about what stream to choose for our son after 10th std. Thank you very much Poonam for those warm discussions and all your help giving us the route to move ahead. Narrowing down to the option that our child will be good at, was what we were looking for and your session helped with that.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Poonam for guidance on my career trajectory, and I must say, it was an absolutely transformative experience. From the moment we began our sessions, Poonam demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, empathy, and expertise. One of the most impressive aspects of her approach was her ability to understand my unique skills, passions, and aspirations. She didn't just offer generic advice; instead, took the time to tailor her guidance to my individual needs and circumstances. Through a series of thought-provoking discussions and assessments, Poonam helped me gain clarity about my career goals and the steps needed to achieve them. She provided me with a comprehensive roadmap, outlining specific actions I could take to advance in my chosen field. I would highly recommend Aspire & Poonam to anyone seeking personalized, results-driven career counseling.
