"Crossroads Consulting used a battery of assessments that offered personal insight unlike any other. I was amazed at how accurately these tests targeted not only my personality, but also my innate abilities and skills. Blair Hollis combined the battery of tests to give me a unique perspective on the medical specialties that are a natural fit for me. In the vast sea of medical specialties a student has to choose from, I now have a much needed sense of direction."
Matt Hartman | Medical Student, Loma Linda School of Medicine "Mr. Hollis with Crossroad Consulting, used a variety of testing modules that gave me a new perspective on my abilities and who I am as a person. I had taken interests tests in college before but none were anywhere near as comprehensive or as accurate in identifying how I think and process information and my personal style. He guided me through creating a personal vision for myself, by helping me identify my values, passions with my career interest in medicine. As a pre-med student, I wanted to determine if I had the abilities to compete in medical school. He helped me focus on all the pieces of the puzzle that make me who I am and understand that I have the capacity to succeed with my particular ability patterns. Thank you so much for your time and confidence in me!" John | Pre-Med Student, Rice University “I was amazed at how accurate these tests were! I knew that I had some of these characteristics but didn’t really put them together until Mr. Hollis discussed these reports. Our consultation was revealing and afterwards I had two specific career paths to pursue. During my research of these areas I developed a better understanding of what I really wanted to pursue. Our follow-up meetings refined my search and allowed me to choose an entrepreneurial focused program of study for my future graduate business school studies. I can now share all this with my parents with a new sense of confidence for the first time in my life. I would highly recommend Mr. Hollis’s Crossroads Consulting to anyone who wants to know both what energizes them and how it will help them succeed in the business world!” Tom | Economics Student, Vanderbilt University "Blair is intelligent, caring, and hardworking. He assesses your skills and strengths then helps you find a path which suits them. Very professional and is passionate about what he does."

“I was so confused about my major and what I wanted to do with my life. My family told me to major in business but I have always been interested in engineering. I was getting burned out with academics because nothing seemed connected to my future. Mr. Hollis was the only person who seemed to understand what I was going through and he took his time to listen to what was important to me. His program helped me understand my natural talent, something that I was born with! He used a variety of tests that said I could naturally conceptualize three-dimensional designs in my mind and that my abilities formed patterns that support my interest in engineering. Then we met again to talk through how to implement this strategy for me. All the elements that we discussed seemed to connect in a logical way. For the first time in my life this all made sense to me. He opened my eyes to my potential, thank you so much!!"
Paul | Engineering Student, Vanderbilt University "CCI used a narrative that allowed me to dig deep to find what truly mattered to me in life. Then they used their abilities battery to support occupations I was born to excel in. This wasn’t like anything my college offered. I began to reflect on what I wanted to study in college and why it matched my values. He worked with me one-on-one over four sessions counseling me in making important decisions that reflected me, a direction I could own for myself. What really impressed me was that he took the time to explore material and introduce methods that allowed me to envision careers that seemed to relate to my narrative themes. The thing is it works! I would highly recommend Blair to any college student who is stuck and wants someone they can trust to guide them through the stress of career choices." John | Freshman Student, Dartmouth College "Blair Hollis has been an instrumental part of my road to finding meaning in the gifts I have been given and the failures I've encountered. He is both a caring and understanding practitioner and excels at pinpointing aspects of one's life that draw meaning and importance. His kind spirit and wealth of knowledge are just two aspects of his wonderful character and teaching. I recommend his services for his passionate work and restorative message." Joshua Abbey | Vanderbilt University Graduate and Law School Student |

"When my son started college, he had no idea what he wanted for a career and, therefore, couldn't decide on a major. Blair Hollis had him complete a variety of assessments to determine his interests and strengths. Next, Blair presented various career options that matched those interests and strengths. The process was comprehensive and executed with care and much thoughtfulness. I would highly recommend Blair Hollis for anyone, no matter what age or stage of life, to help determine a personalized career path."
A Grateful Mom "Blair was instrumental in guiding our daughter through a unique process to validate her natural gifts. She knew she wanted to be a Veterinarian from the time she was a very young child. As she completed to fall of her senior year at Auburn, she was faced with the possibility that she might not be accepted into a Veterinary program. Through his extensive battery of assessments, Blair was able to help our daughter explore alternative careers options that were in line with her strengths and interests. In addition to illuminating a variety of alternative paths, this process elevated her confidence and optimism, allowing her to be at her best during her veterinary school interviews. I would highly recommend Crossroads Consulting to any parent who wishes to offer their young adult a program that helps them better understand themselves and pursue the careers they dream about!" Susan "Blair Hollis was the guiding light that transformed my son’s self-esteem into a confidence that changed his outlook on his career search. The assessments he used opened his eyes to how his abilities would support his passions in a way that reflected his character. His shadowing experience was invaluable as it allowed him to visualize how an engineer functions in the real world. He could ask questions that were important to him and make the connection that this was the career path he wanted to prepare for in college. I highly recommend Blair to anyone who is “stuck,” to learn just how special they really are, and how to redirect their confusion into a desire to live out their passion in life." Cheryl |
"My daughter knew she had talent but needed someone who could help her discover herself and what it was that would allow her to do something important in life. Blair was influential in her understanding how her God given gifts could compliment her interest in healing others. Through a series of assessments and shadowing various professionals these experiences resonated with her. They became an extension of the life narrative she composed, which helped her take ownership of her goals. She is now applying to nursing school programs to fulfill her desire in order to serve others in this world. I couldn’t be more pleased with the work Crossroads Consulting has done in guiding her. I would highly recommend their program to any parent who is interested in their young adult clarifying their career path and finding joy in that life choice."
Mary Ellen "Blair approaches counseling in a way that dramatically changed my son. For the first time he found a way to objectively understand that he had unique gifts. The assessments offered Tom more confidence in himself and motivated him to really explore the options his interpretative reports offered. His perception of his role in developing himself and his talents has allowed us to share in his growth and decision-making. This has been an invaluable investment in our son’s future because it has transformed his grasp of his potential. I would highly recommend their program to any parent who wants to offer their son or daughter a chance to thrive." Mother of a Brown University Freshman "Blair Hollis has helped my son tremendously with getting him started on the right direction to figuring out his career path. Our son needed a little confidence to know which direction God is wanting him. Blair also connected our son with a potential school that fit his capabilities and personalities based on assessments. We are very appreciative to Mr. Hollis." Michele Lee | Mother of Nashville Software School student and aspiring Software Developer |
