Client Reviews
Jim is a gifted career coach who brings invaluable personal experience and perspective to any every conversation. I have worked with Jim for nearly a decade, and his wisdom and insight have helped me not only to become a better team member and colleague, but to navigate the difficult transition to executive leadership. I highly recommend Jim to anybody who is looking to take their professional standing to the next level.
As an executive search/headhunter I have been lucky enough to partner with Jim on a number of occasions. I have referred several local and remote (Skype, etc.) mid-level to executive-level candidates to him who have reported back to me with rave reviews. Jim has also consulted with me whenever my executive search expertise has been a helpful element to his full-service thoughtful career advice he provides his clients. 100% class act and worth the investment.
Jim helped me immeasurably through my company’s COVID restructuring. I was reorganized into a new role as a result of downsizing and Jim helped me make the best possible choices and frame it in a way that made sense and helped me move forward equipped for success.
