Got a better job suited to me

Until the pandemic crippled my industry, I never thought I would work with a career coach. After 20+ years with one employer, I knew I did not have the chops to negotiate a depressed job market, let alone pivot to make better use of my passion and advanced sustainability degree. 

Mark did a lot more than help me polish my resume. He guided me to learn more about myself.

Knowing my strengths and understanding the difference between implementing and leadership was critical to homing in on what I was really looking for and marketing myself accordingly.

In a way that felt more like a journey with a wise friend than a business process, he helped me grow. 

So how did it work out? Not only did I land a better job – tailored and upgraded to suit my background – but I took the first concrete steps to flesh out a social media sustainability persona I had previously only dreamed about. And I have a good idea of how they can co-exist.

If you are ready to let your passion for sustainability fuel the future you see for yourself, Mark can provide the tools and insight to get yourself there.

Won the

position

Mark's Sustainability Career Coaching course definitely helped me to win the position! 

They remembered the one thing I want to be known for – my passion for decarbonizing commercial and industrial buildings.  

Mark helped me to learn, and practice, how to share my wisdom in a highly impactful and engaging manner:

I was able to explain that my top natural strengths are relationship building and strategic thinking.

Further, I communicated that throughout my career, I have used my natural ability to connect authentically, and lead with integrity, to establish credibility and trust that has enabled my success in teaming with others.

This position checks all of the key boxes for me – and I love the team I am working with.

Landed climate job

I found Mark to be an exceptional coach, pushing me to challenge myself and reach new heights of self-understanding.

 I found a rewarding position at a climate-focused organization, working with an exceptional team to solve the planet’s greatest sustainability challenges.

I had made previous attempts at working with career coaches, but was not satisfied with my progress nor sure how to move forward.

Simply put: Mark has changed my outlook and given me the confidence to navigate my future career path in sustainability. 

I know that the lessons I’ve learned from working with Mark will aid me throughout the rest of my career. .

I would recommend Mark's services to anyone feeling stuck in their current career path and ready to focus on the future.

Confident & hopeful

I was at a point in my life where I wanted to switch direction and embark on a career in Sustainability. I had been out of the traditional workforce for years, had no related work experience and felt overwhelmed! Where and how should I begin this effort?

Mark took me on a journey of self-discovery, soul-searching and self-realization.

I learned about my core skills and values, got honest about what I do and don’t want and expect from a career at this stage of my life.

He also coached me on networking, the most effective way to get your foot in the door.

I feel confident, prepared and hopeful!

I would highly recommend Mark’s coaching program to anyone who is looking to pivot from his or her current career path or set out again after taking time off.
