Paul’s Career Development Qualifications

Experience level: Executive

50+ people coached for Career Development

With over 12 years of experience in providing career guidance and mentorship, I have helped numerous professionals successfully navigate their career journeys. My approach is personalized and confidential, ensuring that each session is tailored to your unique circumstances and career goals. I specialize in job search strategies, including positioning your reasons for leaving a prior firm, negotiating and choosing the best offer, and evaluating whether pursuing an MBA is the right choice for you. Additionally, I offer support for navigating on-the-job challenges, such as managing interpersonal dynamics, addressing underperformance, and maintaining mental health in high-pressure environments. I also provide guidance on managing junior employees and effectively 'managing up,' as well as insights into working in the US versus Europe and other geographic considerations. Contact me today to schedule a live video discussion and set your career on the right track.
