Paul and I worked together for several months – yes several months. Paul took the time to dive deep into my entire life experiences to help me better understand how I got to where I was, what my real strengths were, what I valued and where now, at this point in my life, did I want to go. These discussions were supplemented with reading and other “home work” that really made me step back and reflect on what I wanted to do with the rest of my career. This was real work and it takes time if you really want to be reflective and get to the best answers.
The end result – after working with Paul, I was very clear on what my strengths were. I was clear about the work that I wanted to do and what I didn’t want to do and I had the courage not to sell my way into a position that would not provide me with what I needed. This fundamentally changed the way I approached my next job search and the interviewing process. I interviewed with confidence about what I was great at and what I wanted to do, instead of selling my way into a box that a firm had created for a position. This is a tremendously exciting and rewarding way to move to the next step in your career.
I would highly recommend Paul for his career transition services – it can be a life changing experience!
