Career Consulting

“CAREER THERAPY”

Counseling and Consulting Services for Serious People Who Want to Feel Excited About Going to Work

I help people get excited about jumping out of bed and going to work. My clients range from rocket scientists and cowboys who want to change careers to accountants and engineers who have trouble relating to people.  I help you cut to the soul of the matter, then help you create strategies to get what you want. I’ve worked with corporate warriors, writers, real estate moguls and millionaires and people who end up being CEOs, marketing execs, artists and successful entrepreneurs. I’ve helped financial managers, Hollywood producers and teachers discover new, satisfying careers who were willing to invest in their development and success. I am best at asking deep, intuitive questions and getting to the heart of the issue, clearing up your confusion, not letting you off the hook and supporting you 200% on your way to getting what you want. This service is for you if you are a professional who:

  • Wants to improve your present position or situation and develop a strategic career approach
  • Wants strategic interview preparation
  • Has been laid off and needs help figuring out next steps
  • Wants to be a more effective manager and leader

You owe your deepest thanks to that person who has rekindled your light.’ You did that for me, Andrea, and for that I am most grateful.”

  • "As of Friday (June, 2009) I  am officially the VP of Sales & Marketing. I was successful in negotiating the salary I wanted and the overall package that I was hoping for.  I am grateful for your assistance along the way.  Our time together helped me to identify my skills and gave me the ability to verbalize my strengths in a very precise way.  Our talk last week helped me stay focused on negotiating the compensation package I wanted.
