In my 12-year tenure with Korn Ferry, the preeminent authority on leadership and talent, I learned first-hand that placing the right professional in the right job is the beginning of amazing possibilities for job seekers and employers alike. But it is not always easy for job seekers to pinpoint their skills, passion, the culture they thrive in, and the ideal company. A trusted career advisor and coach is often critical in helping job seekers to define their strengths and how to convey them. At Korn Ferry, I had the opportunity to partner with blue-chip corporations, national nonprofit organizations, and top-notch colleges and universities to assist them in hiring key executives. Those experiences, along with 12-years as an adjunct professor of literature and writing, and over a decade in academic publishing, are the impetus of my new venture: helping high school and college students to carve and advance their career paths. I’m a firm believer that the point of education is not only to empower individuals, but to enable them to get great jobs.
