My previous posts have been about ways to manage your thoughts. In discussing this subject with a friend last night, I realized that there is a key principle underlying the entire concept of thought management which I’ve previously written about…
How often have you been treated unfairly by someone who supposedly cares for you? How many times has someone failed to appreciate all you’ve done for them? How frequently have you been unfairly criticized by a friend or loved one?…
It’s been quite a long time since I’ve written about one of the core strategies of my work with clients (and with myself): thought management. Managing thoughts can have a miraculous impact on mood, shifting even such powerful emotions as…
Apologizing isn’t an awful lot of fun. In the act of apology you are revisiting something that happened to you that was wrong or bad, hurtful or untrue (or maybe all of the above). No wonder apologies occur so much…
“The Value We Place on Ourselves Is Usually the Value Others Place on Us” Management guru John C. Maxwell feels that self esteem is the single most significant key to a person’s behavior. And behavior (from the way you present…
The majority of clients that I work with are unclear as to their career goals. They almost all uniformly admire those people “lucky enough” to have a clear career goal, or a passion, that guides them in their professional lives.…
One of the first posts I wrote was entitled “Choosing Your Thoughts”. It deals with the active process of deciding where we want to focus our attention, and can best be summarized by stating that in almost all instances it…
Arrived at Baltimore airport for my flight to L.A. this morning, only to discover that it wasn’t a nonstop. I was briefly annoyed and then, realizing there was nothing I could do about it, dropped the annoyance and started writing…
Today I return to what is probably my favorite subject – improving your ability to direct your thoughts so that what you wind up focusing on leaves you feeling better rather than worse. Last night I had a session with…
Jim helps you build a concise narrative capturing everything relevant: who you are, what drives you, and where you want to go.
Jim identifies paths with clarity including responsibilities, entry points, challenges, and genuine trade-offs.
Jim assesses each path against your strengths and constraints. A prioritized shortlist formed based on logic and AI feedback.
Jim ensures that your networking outreach, resume, LinkedIn profile, elevator speech, and interview performance are superior.
Working with Jim was a refreshing and positive experience. As a first-timer to working with a coach, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Jim was spot-on in identifying the primary goals and we achieved them within the four weeks he had predicted. His great demeanor made the process effective and easy. Jim is truly delighted in the progress his clients make. This became clear when seeing the broad smile and satisfaction on his face when he realized we achieved our stated goals and that I had the tools to take the next step in my professional and personal success. He’s a great resource to have.
I am so incredibly grateful for Jim’s guidance during a challenging career change. His insight, feedback, and support were essential to my success in landing a dream job. From helping me chart a new course and finding a new passion after burning out in a draining career, to coaching me through final interviews, he was with me every step of the way. I cannot recommend him enough!
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.
The first step is a complimentary 15–20 minute conversation — completely free, no obligation. Fill out the form and Jim will be in touch personally. No pressure, no scripts, just a genuine exchange about what you need.
