Talent testimonials:
I just created my Daybalancer account and finished all of the questions. I would say I'm very impressed with how detailed these questions are. These questions not only create a profile for me but also make me think about myself. They helped me to understand myself better, too!
So much of the content resonates with me, particularly that around benefiting from highly inclusive and thoughtful environments. This information also helps me know that I need to seek employment with transparent pay and pay structures, which isn’t always true for non-profits -- this makes me want to re-think some of the folks I currently work with who don’t meet these needs! I also unconsciously knew that I thrive in environments that promote formal and informal mentorship, but I didn’t fully realize that until reading this text. My favorite client right now absolutely mentors me!
Over all, a very revealing and accurate read of my experiences and needs as a small business owner. I am grateful that you sent this over and that I made a profile.
It truly helped me focus on my priorities and emphasized the importance of active listening.
I generated the Career Compatibility Report and really liked it. I enjoyed our conversation and appreciate all of your work on my behalf. Thanks for all of your work!
USER FEEDBACK
The following positive feedback was shared in different areas of the DayBalancer intake. We read all angles of feedback! Any critical feedback was incorporated into updated versions, where possible.
The categories of choices made this a joy.
This helped me hone in on what’s important to me.
it's nice to feel seen ^.^
It took a minute to gather my thoughts on impacts but really helped to get a clear focus.
I realize the work I do is very much focused on social goals.
It helped me think about the things I actually care about and want to be involved in.
it's important to have clarity on what i'm working towards so i can say No to other things (and say Yes to things that are in the focus!)
easy quick answers
Very happy to be able to just copy and paste my resume!
A lot of options that helped me better think of the possibilities of what I could want to do, that was helpful :)
The list of choices was very comprehensive and definable. No need to pick 'other'
Provided multiple options for us to choose from. A lot of good ones!
Have the option to just select tiles versus typed answers makes this easier to answer questions.
very clear questions, appreciated limits of 3. progressive disclosure helped to not feel overwhelmed!
Very easy! I didn't choose extremely because it made you think deeply about how and why you want to do work, which is wonderful, just a lot of introspection. These questions were all written from a very affirming perspective and were thought provoking!
Opportunity to process past work and volunteer experiences
selecting keywords and not being swayed by what I read in job descriptions over and over.
Working for large corporations the majority of my career has led me to believe that the majority of them do not truly take care of their #1 asset - People!!
It is a really good report with all my information integrated and considered. I love how the report goes straight to the point, but I do expect a bit more informatice advice for the future.

Wraps up a long process nicely.
Until recently many of the questions would have difficult to answer honestly on a personal assessment level. I just wasn't sure how to fill in the blanks in life and career. The big picture helps cature it and laser focus on it.
My Work-Life Compatibility Report is spot on! It perfectly outlines what my ideal role in an ideal organization looks like, my professional goals, and the tangible next steps I can take to better align myself with those goals. The report does a great job of considering my values, skills, and interpersonal dynamics, providing a clear and actionable roadmap for my career. Feel free to share the testimonial in any way you deem fit.
I am amazed by the report, it was quite a process in filling in all the information, but this report was a delightful surprise!
The report provides great language to use as a seeker of new opportunities.
It seemed frozen at first, was helpful once generated!
Nothing particularly new, but reassuring!
i feel very tingly! ✨
Did a nice job of interpreting the data
I especially loved the report
It was interesting seeing a recap of prior responses. The suggestion to find mentors doing what I'd like to do more of was a helpful reminder - I know it's necessary, but haven't taken the time to get traction.
Having a clear understanding of not only how I operate, but how it fits into the work I contribute in the world is priceless.
Made me think, really think about what I want out of my work-life balance and my role in it.
It pointed out and confirmed areas that I already felt about how I perceive myself personally and professionally.
It is always nice to have thoughts summed up.
I feel like I’m entering a new stage of life where a lot of things are uncertain, including my job. I’d like to see some things gain more clarity this year.
I feel like its just restating things that I entered without yielding new insight.
A very unique way of self-exploration.
Easy to navigate
Very positive
Because it provides a great direction for what to hope for.
It feels very open, and I'm not sure yet how it integrates into my life in practice
I liked seeing the synthesis and summary of all the different information that I had put into the application. Each of the source-sections is important in their own right, but I don't think I could have come up with such a succinct summary across the sections on my own. Thanks!
The report will help me stay focused and balanced with my pursuits both career and play.
I appreciate this summary, simple consolidation of my answers. Good reference.
Helpful to see in new way
I appreciate the summary-generation of my input. Great to see my profile in this context.
It allowed me the proper time to reflect on if I truly was able to meet all my goals and needs within my work/life balance.
I think if we can take care of our physical, mental, and emotional health well in all parts of life then we can have the best performance in all parts of life. It is worth it to put effort in taking care of yourself.
It looks like the AI took my notes and wrote a professional letter about me.
This was very insightful and gave great ideas on staying focused and fostering the varied areas I enjoy putting my time into.
It's always valuable to think about my life, mission, values, goals and vision! Thanks!
It put into words what I've felt. It is a good reflection piece.
It was scary accurate. The way it was written encouraged me to reflect.
These are very detailed questions asked. I don't think there's anything else I could think of to ask myself.
