WHAT PROFESSIONALS
ARE SAYING

ABOUT NEXT GEN HEIGHTS


 

Landed role at Thomson Reuters

"Before working with Antoine, I felt lost and unsure about which career path to take or how to get there. His coaching gave me focus and the confidence to trust in my resume and background—without worrying about extra certifications.

After taking some time to assess my situation, I applied for a role at a company I’ve always admired. I’m thrilled to say I landed the job and am now working as a Solutions Consultant at Thomson Reuters!

If you’re considering Antoine’s coaching, know that investing in yourself is sometimes the key to moving forward. Speaking with someone who has deep industry knowledge and experience can make all the difference."

 

Found clarity and a clear career direction

"Antoine's coaching session was a game-changer for me. It provided clarity and actionable steps that helped me reassess my career path and set a course that makes sense for my individual situation. With his guidance, I’ve started working on launching my own remote law firm while tightening up my online presence and embracing tools like ChatGPT Premium to stay ahead.

If you’re considering booking a session, don’t hesitate—Antoine is a wealth of knowledge and a fantastic resource in the tech industry. One session was all it took to send me on a path that aligns with my goals."

 

Pivoted from banking to tech — landed new role

"Before working with Antoine, I was a commercial banker trying my hand at wholesale real estate, but when things didn’t pan out, I needed a way to leverage my skills in the tech world. Antoine helped me create a clear, actionable plan to transition into a Business Analyst role.

Thanks to his guidance and expertise, I achieved my goal in just five months and landed an IT Business Analyst position at a bank. His coaching made the process seamless and gave me the direction I needed to succeed in a new industry. If you’re looking to make a career shift, Antoine is the person to help you make it happen."

 

 Gain Clarity For My Business

"Before working with Antoine, I struggled with figuring out my next steps after college and learning how to start a business from scratch. I knew I wanted to make my own money, but the uncertainty of where to begin held me back.

Antoine’s coaching helped me understand the value of time and showed me that building a business isn’t just a way to generate income—it can also be a fulfilling, long-term career. I learned that the challenges and uncertainties are part of the process and that anything worth having takes effort and persistence.

The biggest transformation has been in my mindset. I’ve become more disciplined with my time and learned to balance hard work with necessary sacrifices to achieve my goals. Starting this journey has pushed me to focus on success, and I’m now willing to do whatever it takes.

If you’re considering Antoine’s coaching, come prepared with a plan or vision for what you want to achieve. The guidance will give you structure and direction, but you need to be ready to put in the work and make real changes."

 

 

 

 

Secured a six-figure Security Analyst Role
“I took Antoine's advice and enrolled at Georgia State University as a CIS major. I earned my Security+ certification in 2023 and have been actively pursuing jobs and internships. The guidance gave me a clear direction — I went from not knowing my next step to being locked into a real career path in tech.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IT Business Analyst role secured in 5 months + 12% promotion after military career pivot

"Before working with Antoine, I felt stuck in my military career, receiving subpar performance reviews despite working hard. I had too many goals, no clear direction, and a weak network. Antoine’s coaching transformed my approach to leadership, career planning, and networking.

He taught me to confidently highlight my accomplishments, which led to improved performance reviews, an achievement award, and being ranked #8 out of 63 personnel. His guidance helped me focus on a Business Analyst career, obtain key certifications like Google Data Analytics and Certified Scrum Master, and refine my job search strategies, from applying to negotiating offers.

The results have been life-changing. I graduated with honors in Business Administration and earned an MS in IT Management—all without student debt. I joined professional networks, completed a data science internship, and landed a fully remote six-figure Business Analyst role. In just 90 days, I secured 13 interviews and 4 job offers.

If you’re serious about achieving success, investing in Antoine’s coaching is a mandatory first step. It was instrumental in helping me achieve my goals and elevate my career."

 

More strategic and efficient career growth

"Antoine's coaching helped me become more intentional, strategic, and efficient in achieving my career goals. I’ve always been willing to put in the work, but this experience took my efforts to the next level.

If you’re serious about reaching your career and life goals, book a session with Nxt Gen Heights."

 

 

Negotiated a higher salary with confidence

"Antoine’s coaching gave me the confidence and strategies I needed to negotiate a higher salary for a new job offer. His guidance made all the difference in helping me advocate for myself and secure the compensation I deserved. If you’re looking to elevate your career, Antoine is the coach you need."

 

 

 

12% Promotion

"Antoine’s coaching was instrumental in helping me secure a 12% promotion. His process taught me how to document my achievements, confidently share them with my manager, and take ownership of my growth by setting up regular 1:1 meetings.

By focusing on the next level in my career and following Antoine’s guidance, I was able to make measurable progress and achieve my goal. If you’re ready to take charge of your career, Antoine’s coaching will show you the path to success."
