Career Development

Bringing a fresh pair of eyes and experience, I’ll help you choose, change, and advance your career.

carolyn-oconorProfessional coaching with Jim has been incredibly valuable to me. I am nearer the end of my career than the beginning…I felt I had at least one last act left in my professional life. I was satisfied with what I have achieved thus far and wanted to try expanding or using what I’ve learned to tackle something bigger. Defining that and finding that path was proving to be challenging. For these reasons, Jim’s wisdom and perspective have been so useful to me as I launch this next phase.
