I have been running Career Counseling Connecticut since The Great Recession.
The most common response when leaving a meeting: “I should have come here a while ago.”
They were stuck. Our discussion helped get them unstuck.
They moved forward. Their lives were changed.
I get nice Christmas cards.
This work is mission-based. I mention this because of the occasional pangs of self-consciousness I’ll get from those who are skeptical or wondering about business motives. My main company – The Learning Consultants – has fortunately “worked out”. I have been running that company for over 20 years after a decade of practicing law. A subtle way of saying… Career Counseling Connecticut is designed as my way of impacting the world more than paying my bills.
The mission emanated – as most do – from my personal story. I was a lawyer. I enjoyed public service. I hated private practice in the big firms in big cities where I practiced. I suffered. Needlessly. Had I met a version of me when I was “stuck”, I wouldn’t have suffered as much.
