You’ve built a solid career — maybe in hospitality, retail, or another service-driven field — but lately it feels off. You’ve grown, but the job hasn’t. You’re not sure what you want next, just that it isn’t this. That’s where we start.

Career Change Coaching with John is a flexible, four-segment process that helps you slow down, get clear on what you need, and rebuild momentum toward the kind of work that actually fits you.

How it Works

The program is divided into four segments — each designed to meet you where you are. You can move through them in order or start where you need the most support.

Segment 1 — Foundations: Who You Are and What You Need

Before you move, get clear. We unpack how you see yourself, what motivates you, and what’s been holding you back. We identify your professional needs — the conditions where you actually do your best work — and start untangling the beliefs that keep you stuck.

Outcome: clarity, language for your values, and a renewed sense of direction.

Segment 2 — Defining the Brand: Your Professional Story

Turn clarity into communication. We translate your strengths and needs into a story that makes sense of where you’ve been and points to what’s next — without apology. We sharpen your résumé, LinkedIn, and most importantly, how you talk about your work in real conversations.

Outcome: a true-to-you story, tools that represent you, and language that opens doors.

Segment 3 — Taking Action: Networking, Applications, and Interviews

Confidence meets practice. We build an outreach rhythm you’ll actually keep, target roles that fit your needs, and prepare for interviews as real conversations. If negotiation is on the table, we cover that too.

Outcome: a practical outreach plan, interview readiness, and steady momentum.

Segment 4 — Alignment and Sustainability: Building Forward

The goal isn’t just landing a job — it’s building a career that keeps fitting. We define what success looks like for you, create a realistic roadmap, and set habits that prevent backsliding into burnout.

Outcome: a personalized path forward and systems that keep you aligned over time.

FAQ — How the four-segment program works

Do I have to buy all four?

No. Each segment stands alone. We start where you need support most and only continue if it’s helping.

Can I start at Segment 2 or 3?

Yes—if you’re already clear on your needs, we can move directly into brand building or job search support.

How long is a segment?

Four one-hour calls, typically over 3–5 weeks. A tight cadence on purpose—clarity fades when we wait too long.

What does it cost?

$425 per segment, paid upfront. Segments are independent—no packages, no lock-ins.

What if I’m not sure what I want?

Perfect. Segment 1 is built for that—clarity on who you are now, what you need, and what to stop chasing.

Do you help with résumé, LinkedIn & interviews?

Yes—Segment 2 shapes your story; Segment 3 covers outreach, interviews, and negotiation.

I’m in hospitality or retail—do my skills transfer?

Absolutely. We translate leadership, operations, and people skills into roles that fit your needs and pay.

What if I’m unemployed or burnt out?

We adjust pace and expectations. The focus is momentum without burnout—clarity and stability first.

What happens between calls?

Short, practical homework: reflections, drafts, and outreach templates. I hold you accountable—lightly but firmly.

Is this therapy?

No. It’s coaching: direct, practical, and future-focused. We’ll talk about beliefs—but we act on them.

Can I pause after a segment?

Yes. Finish one, apply it, and return when you’re ready for the next stage.

Insights and Advice from John


Scarcity in a Land of Plenty

The job market feels off. On one hand, we’re surrounded by opportunity—endless postings, smart technology, the promise of AI making everything easier. On the other, there’s a quiet sense of desperation: people struggling to find work, jobs staying open for months, and a disconnect between what’s needed and what’s available. How can both things be true?
