“After nearly 20 years with one organization (which changed hands 3 times in that span), Tim was exactly who I needed to listen and coach me through to the next step in my career. I had plateaued as a jack-of-all-trades yet wanted more, and having Tim patiently listen and guide my career into focus was a crucial first step. Then, with Tim’s extensive experience in tools of the job searching trade, his coaching helped me quickly land conversations, interviews, and ultimately a new opportunity in the field I desired. I was absolutely amazed at how quickly it all came together, and the knowledge and insight Tim shared made all the difference. I’ve recommended Tim to others looking to move toward the next step in their career – he’ll truly listen to where you’re coming from and partner with you in your journey forward.” – Dave C, Business Intelligence Consultant
