TESTIMONIALS

“Katarina, is an effective trainer at the career development workshop for partners and spouses of UN international staff members organised by UNDP’s dual career support programme. For me, coming from a cross cultural environment, it was an educative and informative experience, all the sessions had 100% enthusiastic interaction by all participants.

Besides, she personally guided me in the preparation and beautification of my resume and cover letter, giving it a touch of class, elegance and professional look. Some of her catchy phrases like ’90 second elevator speech’, keeps reminding us, how to be short and crisp in our introductions and gain attention from the target audience. I could hear from the fellow participants that she was a great motivator and had positive influence on them in their endeavor for job search. I too would like to vouch for this statement. Its always a pleasure to work and interact with her and I strongly recommend members to benefit from her vast expertise.”” June 23, 2011 Top qualities: Good Value, On Time, Creative By Ravi Kumar Gandham,

For the last two years, Katarina Holm-Didio has worked with UNDP’s dual career support programme as the trainer of our career development workshop for partners and spouses of our international staff members. Participants not only like her workshops but also benefit a lot from them. Various participants found a position after they did the workshops! Obviously, they learned a lot about preparing and presenting themselves on the UN and US job market! Thanks so much Katarina, we very much appreciate this!

Well prepared and very knowledgeable in the America culture and history. Gave me quite a few thoughts for the mind. She managed to adapt the topics to meet my needs while also providing me with extra support / insight.

I took part in your workshop at FASNY last week, which was very interesting and inspirational and actually gave me a new perspective on networking.

I met Katarina during career support series workshop for UN spouses, where Katarina was the instructor and brought with her wealth of information and guidance as a career coach, along with her quiet charm. I have since been in awe of her knowledge about the various aspects of career counseling and specially admire her skills on getting the participants to focus on the aspects most pertinent. She also has a way of motivating and positively influencing people who look at her for guidance. I look forward to learning more from her in the future.”
