The Endorsement

A couple of months ago, I was in a virtual networking meet with a local business-woman here in Raleigh, NC. It was a simple networking call introducing each other and seeing how we could help each others business. It turned out to be one of the most humbling conversations and recommendation that I've ever had. The below is from a LinkedIn post from the lady that I spoke with for over an hour that day, Debra Mathias.

Debra is one of the most connected people in the Triangle and if you ever get the opportunity to speak with her and meet her, I highly suggest it.

"Sometimes you meet someone in business and think, have we been walking the same path all along? This past week, 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝."

This week, I had the pleasure of sitting down for a one-on-one with Corey Lewis, and let me tell you, this gentleman is a rare find. His depth of knowledge about the job market is unlike anything I’ve seen before.

Corey has spent the majority of his career as an Advisor & Consultant to corporations, small businesses, and job seekers all across the United States, offering a wide variety of low-cost business and personal services.

On the business side, he provides:

• Business Talent Solutions

• Recruiting Program Development for small businesses

• Talent Acquisition Consulting

• Salary Evaluations

• Small Business Coaching

His personal services include:

• One-on-One Coaching

• Interview Preparation & Job Search Strategy

• Resume Services: Review, Recommend, Remodel

• Relocation Counseling

• Social Media Review

Now, all of that is impressive on its own; his credentials speak volumes, but what truly stood out to me was his heart. Corey approaches his work with genuine care and concern, guiding clients toward success through honest, open, and sometimes matter-of-fact frank conversations.

And here’s the difference-maker: he tells it like it is in the kindest way possible.

His gentle nature, deep understanding of personalities, and ability to deliver truth with compassion set him apart from others I’ve met in his field.

If you’re in a career transition, seeking fresh direction, or need a straight-shooting yet kind-hearted professional in your corner, look no further. You may want to set up a meeting with this incredible human being.

Corey Lewis doesn’t just help people find jobs; he helps them find their confidence, their value, and their path forward.

And speaking of creating impact — 🎤 as a professional Emcee, he turns events into experiences. From corporate galas to trivia nights, he brings energy, humor, and timing that keep crowds engaged and smiling.

Whether he's exciting a live audience or guiding a formal ceremony, his goal is always the same: make sure every person feels involved and leaves with a great memory.

There's not too much that I can say - but Thank you Debra. Your words meant more than you know.
