Nicole H.– Attorney / MSW candidate
“At a pivotal point in my work with Jonathan, I suddenly faced a strong urge to regress. My pursuits were getting overwhelming and I wanted to back out. Jonathan cleverly engaged a metaphor, describing my situation as being ‘in the middle of the river, and it was just as far to get back to where I began as it was to keep swimming to the other side.' I was tempted to swim back to what was familiar, but Jonathan helped me stay focused and gather the courage I needed. I am happy to report that I have since been steadily and confidently moving forward on my new path."
M. S., Esq.
"I hated my job. The amount of work piled on my desk seemed insurmountable. I felt as though I were in a deep hole in loose sand and the only fix I could envision was to drop out. Jonathan gave me the strategies to examine that choice. We worked on some basic strategies for increasing my productivity both in the office and throughout my life. More importantly, he also helped me to start seeing my life values reflected in my work, and thereby I have been able to rediscover job satisfaction."
S. G.
"Jonathan helped me get out of my rut. He got me focused. Got me moving. With his expert help, Jonathan helped me to go after a job that I really loved. I'm very happy and I’m making more money than I ever earned in my life. The people are good to me, and the work is heartwarming. Jonathan saw the potential I was blind to. And he’s such a nice guy, too."
Judy B.
"In the time that Jonathan was my career coach, many personal circumstances arose that needed to be addressed in order for me to move forward. Jonathan was always able to change gears and work with me regardless of the issue. He has a wide-range of knowledge and experience and was able to jump right in without any judgment."
V. C. (name withheld for confidentiality)
"Jonathan provided the focus necessary start a job search during a very tough professional experience. He helped me gain clarity on exactly what I wanted and how to go about getting it. The process not only had the added benefit of securing three job offers in about six weeks, all with my desired criteria and great salary, but also provided an insightful and invaluable self-discovery process."

Career Change

Is it time for a change?

"I had been working in a family business, and I really wasn’t sure where life was headed after that. Jonathan was crucial toward helping me narrow my focus and putting to work my existing skills, which actually turned out to be pretty abundant. His feedback and insights act as a catalyst towards your looking at your self and your situation from a different perspective and lo and behold, it becomes very, very helpful. I’m in a new situation and already working on deals and having success there. Jonathan has certainly been helpful to me – give him a shout, it’s well worth it." – Shayne Mahon

You're at a point where you need to figure out what's next - especially regarding your unique abilities, talent and valued relationships. 

If you need to clarify and articulate your direction and create a game plan for an engaging and meaningful new path, you’ll have an opportunity on this page to request an exploratory session at no charge.

Whether you are meant to impact new organizational challenges, turn a passionate avocation into a profitable small business, serve a non-profit cause with a new level of commitment or pursue some combination of endeavors, you CAN create a well balanced, meaningful path. 

My focus and passion is to help you sort out the possibilities, find new clarity of direction and purpose, and help you create a plan to experience a rich and rewarding situation for the next chapter of your life. 

I have the tools and methods to assure a smooth transition into your new role.  Let's figure it out together.

RATE AND RELATE - Which of the following statements can you relate to ?

I'd really like to get out of this RUT and wake up excited for work every day."

“What do I wanna be when I grow up.” ... or more accurately. “What do I do NEXT now that I'm here?”

I can’t just quit – How am I going to integrate my search into my daily plan and stay motivated day-by-day so I can make a smooth transition?

"I'm almost ready to retire - I just need an exciting and meaningful plan for how I'll use my time."

“ I can negotiate real well on behalf of others. How can I negotiate a better deal for myself?”

"My resume and interviewing skills are OK, but I need to do something to stand out and secure first-place."

“How do I strategize the promotion that I know I deserve - it seems like it might not materialize? "

"How can I upgrade or update my networking? I know that’s the best way to make the right contacts."

"There has got to be a better way to leverage my talent and time to make the kind of money I deserve"

If you can relate to these examples, we can talk about your unique situation during your sample coaching session. If you deserve to have a meaningful new purpose, then you owe it to yourself to contact me to discuss the goals you want to reach.

Even if we decide not to work together, I guarantee that our exploratory conversation will leave you with new ideas and a feeling of excitement about your new possibilities.

What is so special about my style of career coaching?

Career Coaching is a blend of executive coaching, career counseling and business savvy marketing advice. Unlike most career counselors trained in psychology and human resource functions, my background includes entrepreneurial, results driven experience.

I have a 22 year track record of getting hired a lot, and since 1998, I’ve helped hundreds of others as well.  I focus on helping you position yourself, rather than simply retelling your career chronology.  Many clients have me fix their resumes and networking strategies after trying elsewhere to no avail.

We also maintain a high level of motivation and confidence to overcome the challenges.  Finally, we can leverage what I call your leadership equity to secure the best possible deal for you.
