I have a solid track record of supporting over 50 friends, acquaintances, and second-degree connections in navigating their career paths. I'm skilled at guiding individuals through the process of brainstorming career options, defining strategies, and prioritizing and planning for the future. It's better to go slowly in the right direction than go speeding off in the wrong direction.
