Hi! Adina Schreiber here, Rockport career consultant.

I’m passionate about liking the work you do each day! As someone who spent years dreading going to work, I know all-too-well the feeling of being in a mismatched job.

It took courage to finally say goodbye to my pricey masters degree in speech pathology and jump into a different field.

For the past 2.5 years, I’ve been working as a recruiter, and I love what I do! I love getting to know people – their strengths, motivations, and priorities.

I am excited to use these skills to help people make smart decisions about work. Finding the right career is like a puzzle.

Let’s solve it together!!

Hi, I’m Adina Stroock — a Rockport-certified career coach based in Far Rockaway, NY.
I offer virtual sessions to clients anywhere in the world.
I love helping people figure out what kind of work actually feels right — where their personality, strengths, values, and life needs all line up.
I’ve spent decades working closely with people as a nursery teacher and mentor, and I’ve always been fascinated by how people grow, change, and find their way.
I went through the Rockport process myself and found it incredibly clarifying and empowering — it helped me understand my own strengths and gave me a clearer sense of identity.
The Rockport method combines personality and aptitude testing with a whole-person approach that really helps cut through the confusion and get to the heart of what fits.
Now, as a coach, I love using those tools to help others discover their unique wiring and confidently chart a path forward.
Whether you’re just starting out, a few years out of high school, or later in life considering a career shift, I’m here to help you sort through the noise and find clarity.
My approach is warm, supportive, and practical — and always centered around helping you make choices that feel authentic to you.
I offer a free 20-minute discovery call — feel free to reach out!

My name is Aharon Gaffen, from Chicago, IL.

My background is in Education and I have more than a decade of experience in High School Administration.

I have a M.Ed. from Loyola University Chicago and I am a Rockport Institute Pathfinder Assessment Coach.

I am an outgoing “people person” and in my career in Education, I have enjoyed many opportunities to help people find their niche and help them succeed in life and I am excited to use that to help others, as well. I can meet with clients both in-person or virtually.

Hi there :) I'm Aleah Cohen, and I believe everyone has a superpower.
People who find the deepest fulfilment and satisfaction in life are the ones that discover it and unleash it to its full potential.
My goal is for every exceptional, talented, busy frum woman of today to get a chance to access this gift for herself and live the empowering, vitality-infused life that it brings.
I especially like to focus on young women, early in their careers because I get it... the expectations on today's young women are demanding, confusing, and overwhelming.

I know because I've been there too.
And I so would of have appreciated the insight that a career coach offers.
After finishing my bachelor's in Psychology from the University of Florida, I was unsure where to go from there (sound familiar?).
The choices were so broad, and I felt so alone in weighing each one.
Eventually I found my way to Rockport institute, where it dawned on me that common career guidance methodology is inherently flawed!
It can't be that every frum woman should become a OT/Speech Therapist/ Social Worker/ fill-in-the-blank with whatever everyone is doing these days.... and unfortunately, many get swept along in these 'average' paths that don't pan out because they are not tailored to their specific strengths, needs, and values.
Everyone is so unique- that should be the starting point!

Want to work with me?
I'd love to give you the space to spread your wings, and transform yourself into the show-stopping butterfly you always knew you were!

With 37 years of experience as an IT professional, I have enjoyed a fulfilling career path.
Throughout the years, I have explored various options and often wondered about other opportunities that exist.
My curiosity led me to train as a Rockport Career Consultant, to help people, particularly young adults, examine their personality type, strengths and abilities to choose a career that suits them best.  
As a practical, detail-oriented IT professional, I particularly enjoy analyzing data of any kind, and hope that together we can identify possible career options for you based on your Rockport assessment results.
I look forward to navigating your career journey with you.

Hi, I’m Barry Ackerman from Passaic, NJ.

I started an HR consulting firm in 2018, and I am excited to use my experience to benefit individuals that are looking to learn more about themselves and thereby use their inborn talents and personality to help propel them forward.

I am an ISTJ. If you don't know what that means, you'll understand it after we work together.:) As you can tell, I have an easy-going manner, and a sense of humor that I sometimes use to take the edge off of otherwise tense situations.

I very much enjoy helping people, and I absolutely love getting that Aha! when working with someone to help them better understand themselves and their strengths.

Hi, I'm Barry Lichtenstadter, a Rockport Institute–certified career coach based in Brooklyn, N.Y.
I offer virtual coaching sessions to clients around the world.
With years of experience as a certified life coach, I've had the privilege of helping many individuals find clarity and direction in their personal lives.

Today, I combine deep listening, proven methods, and compassionate guidance to help clients discover careers that are not only successful—but deeply meaningful.
My greatest joy is seeing people gain clarity, confidence, and purpose as they move toward fulfilling work and a happy life.

Hi I’m David Weinberger of Manchester N.J.

I’ve been in the healthcare industry for a number of years in various different roles.

You may ask why would someone with a busy full time occupation and many years in the Healthcare industry be working simultaneously as a career consultant? And that’s a great question! Let me explain.

Throughout my years working alongside and managing many employees I’ve always been fascinated by the ambition, drive and desire to succeed that so many possess and display especially early on in their work.

Yet I’ve been equally amazed by the subsequent drop off, burnout and lack of satisfaction often displayed not long after by the same employees.

I not only noticed it in others but I experienced in my own journey as well. I developed a passion for helping people, both new to the workforce looking for their first opportunity, as well as high functioning executives who were feeling stuck or unfulfilled. By being able to identify who they were at their core and aligning their work responsibilities with their natural interests and inborn skills, I’ve been able to guide many individuals as well as many of my own employees in the direction of success that’s unique to them.

That’s the secret. That’s the truth.

The secret to success is YOU.

We just have to get to know ourselves really well, know our strengths and weaknesses and find careers and job responsibilities that align with who we are at are core.

We’re all unique.

We all can be successful in our own work and ENJOY that success at the same time. I look forward to working with you and discovering what it is that makes you uniquely you.

Hi, I'm Dina Meisels, a Rockport Institute Pathfinder Assessment Coach based in Toronto, ON.

I offer sessions both in-person and via Zoom, specializing in helping individuals who are either entering the workforce or feeling stuck and dissatisfied in their current careers.

I started out like many of my friends, with a degree focused on working with the elderly population.

Then COVID-19 hit, and I found myself at a crossroads. Somehow, I discovered a job in recruiting six years ago and have been passionate about it ever since.

I absolutely love what I do and want others to experience the same excitement about going to work!

I firmly believe that no part of a person's journey is wasted. Every path you take provides more clarity and knowledge about where you want to go.

My approach is easy-going and low-pressure, ensuring that you feel supported and guided rather than stressed.

I want you to know that you've done your best with your experience and education until now, and I'm here to help you move forward.

As Director of People, I interview hundreds of candidates and see the difference clarity makes—how some shine because they know their strengths and can communicate them, while others struggle simply because they’re unsure of their direction.

I coach early- to mid-career individuals to uncover their inborn strengths, get clear on their next steps, and show up with confidence—whether they’re setting up an initial career plan, changing paths in search of more, or preparing to have clarity and an edge in the hiring and interview process.
My coaching blends clarity, strategy, and heart to help people align their work with who they are and thrive in the roles that fit them best.

My name is Rabbi Avigdor Goldberger.

In my day job, I run the Minneapolis Community Kollel. My passion is helping yungeleit understand themselves and chart a life-path built specifically for them.

I grew up in Atlanta in a Kollel Family and learned in Ner Yisroel, Philly, R’ Sholom Shechter and BMG.

In 2011 I moved to Minneapolis from Lakewood to join the Kollel, where I’m currently the Menahel. In my position with the Kollel here, I have counselled many of our yungeleit into finding appropriate “shtellers” and jobs in various cities around the country.

I specialize in “Yeshivaleit” who are currently leaving Kollel or who have recently left Kollel.

I have an extensive network in Kollel communities around the country and I have an acute awareness and hands-on experience in Chinuch, Rabbanus, Askanus, Community administration as well as business ownership, marketing, and fundraising. If there’s something a Yeshiva-man would want to do, I’ve probably done some of it, and know people in that field.

So, if you’re currently or recently left Kollel and are looking for parnassah that fits with your identity, lifestyle, and skillset, text me or email me.
