Why My Approach Is Different

Unlike many career coaches who rely on personality tests and theoretical frameworks, I offer:

  • Reality-Based Guidance: Concrete strategies based on how hiring actually works, not how it should work

  • A Personalized Deep-Dive into what drives and differentiates you. We then chart out a career path that is a perfect fit for you and identify the roles that can get on that path

  • Unfiltered Expertise: Having held many different roles throughout my career, I bring the perspective of an industry veteran who has “seen it all”

  • Relationship-Focused: We'll develop a constructive relationship that often evolves into a proper professional friendship

  • Results-Driven Process: My clients consistently secure interviews and offers because we focus on what actually moves the needle

For Professionals at Critical Transitions

My coaching is especially effective for:

  • Professionals returning to work after an extended break

  • Mid-to-late career individuals facing age discrimination or industry disruption

  • Talented people struggling to effectively communicate their value

  • Those seeking to pivot to adjacent industries where their skills transfer

  • Anyone feeling isolated or lacking confidence in their job search

"Your skills haven't gone anywhere. You're just as awesome as you were before. Don't ever go into a job opportunity thinking they're doing you a favor. They're doing themselves a favor if they're looking at you."

What My Clients Experience

"Curtis does a great job of articulating what I feel but haven't been able to put pen to paper on. It's so great to have a sounding board to echo those thoughts because it makes things clearer." - Recent Client

My clients consistently highlight how I help them:

  • Craft compelling narratives about career gaps or transitions

  • Build authentic confidence without arrogance

  • Navigate modern job search technologies and techniques

  • Overcome self-doubt and isolation during career transitions

The Coaching Process

Initial Consultation

We'll dive deep into your background, goals, and timeline to determine what's truly doable. During this session, we'll identify your specific pain points and outline immediate action steps.

A Time & Outcome-Based Approach

Unlike traditional session-based coaching, my Career Transition program provides comprehensive support for either 6 or 12 months, giving you:

  • Unlimited Access: Schedule meetings when you need them most - whether that's weekly during intense job search periods or monthly for check-ins

  • Flexibility Around Critical Moments: Need multiple sessions before a big interview? Simply book the time on my calendar

  • Results-Focused Support: Our work together is defined by outcomes, not arbitrary session counts

Throughout our engagement, we'll focus on:

  • Narrative Crafting: Developing compelling, confident ways to discuss career gaps or transitions

  • Document Optimization: Creating resumes that pass the "7-second test" with hiring managers

  • Building Expertise in AI and Modern Networking: Leveraging AI tools and networking platforms for maximum efficiency and impact

  • Interview Preparation: Practicing high-impact responses and communication techniques that showcase your value

Responsive, On-Demand Support

I'm available via Zoom when you need me most - whether it's preparing for an important interview, navigating multiple offers, or regrouping after setbacks. Many clients meet with me several times in a single week during critical periods, then less frequently as their search stabilizes.
