Thomas Wharton, Certified Fellow Manager by the Institute for Career Certification International.

★ I have the best job in the world. My passion, my reason for jumping out of bed every day is experiencing the satisfaction of helping clients achieve their career, personal or life goals.

★ WHAT I DO: As a career coach, I guide you in planning and managing your career, whether you are 25 or 65; I also coach you to reach your maximum potential. When your potential is maximized, you will gain clarity in identifying your future endeavors, produce higher quality work, become more efficient, and communicate more effectively.

★ ★ WHETHER A CAREER CHANGE, JOB SEARCH OR MASTERING CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE★ ★

Think of career coaches as personal trainers. You likely know how to exercise, but a trainer pushes you to do more. I will inspire you. I will hold you accountable to a higher standard of performance than you may have thought possible and show you the resources and techniques necessary to achieve greater success, whether a career change, a job search, or mastering control of your life.

★ WHY I DO IT: I love the life-long relationship building with clients as we work through personal, career and life challenges.

★ RESULTS: I have successfully coached 1,000’s of people through job searches, career changes and life changes.

★ WHAT DIFFERENTIATES ME: As a certified Executive Coach and Career Counselor, I take a hands-on, “human touch” approach to our working partnership. I meet with you regularly, one-on-one, or by Skype, Webinar or phone until goals are met. You will have my support every step of the way.
