Working in dead end job is demoralizing. As your Career Coach, we work together to set goals and defining achievements.

Career Coaching with John (the podcast) is where big ideas meet the everyday grind. Each episode blends storytelling, historical insight, and coaching wisdom to help listeners make sense of a confusing job market and their place in it.
Topics range from:
-
Why the best customer service workers often get stuck.
-
What utopian communes and Prigozhin have to do with your job search.
-
How tech, aging demographics, and hiring systems have distorted what "employability" even means.
It’s candid. It’s a little rebellious. And it’s here to help people stop blaming themselves for a system that isn’t working.

My Vision
My mission is to help people reclaim a sense of agency in their work lives. Whether through coaching or podcasting, I'm pushing back on hollow advice and lazy leadership—and offering something sharper, more honest, and a whole lot more useful.

How it works...
Let's start with a call, see if there is a fit. No two situations are alike, and I'd like to know about your situation, what is getting your way, and what you need.
In our first call we will discuss the nature of your situation, what goals you might have, the barriers to your success, what excites you about work and what gets you down. I hope to be able to break down some of those barriers and start to work on your vision.
Our first half hour is free, and from there we will figure out a good plan of action.
When we've established your vision, we will work on breaking down the barriers that stand in your way. Build the confidence to express your vision and find what you are looking for.
