John offers the following insights: “I have enjoyed a long and successful career in health care management, a career path that I had selected in college and cultivated for many years. I now refer to this period of time as my previous life. About 15 years into my career, I started to experience a shift. The projects and responsibilities that I was once quite passionate about no longer gave me a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Was I experiencing job burnout or a mid-life crisis? I began to question my motivation and credibility, as I struggled to come to terms with escalating self doubt and negative internal dialogue. I was preoccupied with a recurring question…Why am I feeling this way? The answer to that question eluded me for quite some time, but the answer was quite simple. I was experiencing a very natural change in my interests and career values. In becoming a career coach, I was able to successfully navigate the path of career transition. I believe I offer my clients a solid foundation of professional credentials, strong life and work experience to draw upon, as well as a real world perspective on the career development process.”

John is experienced at successfully coaching clients representing a broad spectrum of career development issues, including: career exploration, career change and transition, assessment and testing, outplacement, targeted job search strategies, and interview preparation, as well as stress management and improved work~life balance
