Career Planning and Management

Mapping and managing a successful, satisfying career at all ages and all stages.

We have been instrumental in career planning and management, including job-search guidance,  for lawyers and executives at the national level for over two decades -- as a provider of sophisticated career reappraisal and vocational assessment, a confidential career consultant and career-change strategist, co-founder of a major national outplacement firm and later leader of Key Executive Services for the world's largest career management firm. We were an award-winning career and job-search columnist for Dow Jones National Business Employement Weekly and online Career Journal for over 20 years, and presently are a columnist on www.careercast.com.

For clients running job searches, making employment changes, making career shifts or setting out on an "encore career," our intensive assessment and planning process examines past career choices and present situations, satisfactions, priorities or stresses. Assessment usually includes a battery of sophisticated standardized measures, complemented by a thorough analysis of all the other forces and "reality factors" that shape sound life and career decisions. This full-immersion approach considers physical health, family, avocational and geographic issues, as well as long-term career priorities. If necessary, we can include the counsel of an experienced financial advisor familiar with the needs of high net worth individuals.
