Career Transitions
You don’t have to do this alone, and you don’t have to apply to hundreds of jobs on LinkedIn. Having the support of a coach can make a career transition smoother and faster:
Experience. Alan is a veteran of several career pivots of his own, and left full-time employment to start a successful business shortly before a global pandemic. He has since guided many clients through their own transitions.
Thought partnership. You can test your thinking and examine your assumptions, to get closer to what you really want.
Momentum. You’ll take specific steps and build on your successes, pausing to celebrate your wins.
Accountability. You’re more likely to take action if you’ve committed to doing so in front of another person.
Displaced federal workers (or others affected by an unexpected career change): Alan is offering free career clarity office hours in March, April and May. Get more details and register here.

Transitions are more effective with a coach at your side, for reframing situations, curating materials, challenging assumptions and providing accountability.
Alan is a certified Designing Your Life coach and has helped many of his clients through professional transitions since 2020.
Alan has also learned countless valuable lessons through his own journey of leaving the highest-paying job he’d ever had (with amazing benefits) to devote his full time and attention to his coaching practice.
The Designing Your Transition package is the result of Alan’s own experience and his work with clients.

“With Alan's helpful guidance I was able to effectuate a smooth resignation and less than a week later already had an offer for a new job that lined up with the positive aspects of my old job without any of the negative baggage. I would never have had the confidence and perspective to have achieved this without Alan's guidance, suggestions, and advice.”
