Your advice to 'own' your age (I'm 54) and not be afraid of it, gave me the confidence to be my authentic self. As it turns out, the CEO of this company was looking for someone with exactly my experience, authenticity, and self confidence.
One week and two interviews later I have what is potentially the best opportunity of my career. Thank you very much for the work you do!

C-LEVEL OPERATIONS EXECUTIVE
I flew to Austin on Monday. I had a 3-hour lunch with the founders and the leadership team. I told my wife afterwards it was probably the best interview experience I've ever had (in my life). They called me the next day to tell me they were offering me the job. Accepted on the spot.
I'm really feeling great about the decision I made and how I made it. Thank you for the 8 sessions that made this possible.

Hi, I'm John
Working with and supporting talented people has been central to everything I've done - whether developing and producing movies in the 1980s, getting into interactive and game development early in the '90s, building a startup during the tech bubble, or running talent development and artistic training for the DreamWorks Animation studio in the '00s.
Along the way, in 2005, I earned my MA in Spiritual Psychology, a branch of counseling psychology that emphasizes personal responsibility, mindfulness, acceptance, and forgiveness as a pathway to personal growth and professional success. When paired with the resilience and resourcefulness I developed in my Entertainment career, I am able to provide a unique resource to my clients.
My 2012 TEDx talk on career reinvention aimed at the boomer generation post-Recession launched my career coaching practice and became the foundation for my Bulletproof Career Framework methodology.
Since then I have worked with hundreds of people in my individual 1:1 and group programs to help them forge their way forward.
My 2017 book "Boomer Reinvention," further established the details of my coaching framework, launched on CBS This Morning, and became an Amazon best seller.
Along the way, I've been a spokesperson at AARP events and career fairs, coached corporate clients for Arianna Huffington's Thrive Global organization, and coached groups of MBA alumni in career transition and reinvention for UCLA, Carnegie Mellon, and Cornell.

John has been nothing short of amazing - both in his technical knowledge and in his compassion for us and our work. [My partner and I] made the decision to work with John for his standard coaching package and were so impressed that we asked if he would work with us for a second coaching package. John's work throughout was realized at a superior level. Our results in working with John have been fabulous.

I focus in depth on specific career questions and skills - from interview prep to mindfulness to professional branding. I have a bit of a contrarian streak: in an HR-dominated world, I believe in being candidate-centric. I don't think you should try to fit yourself into some box that an employer sets up in a job description. I'll always encourage you to find your authentic value, spread the word, build your tribe of like-minded colleagues, and get them to come to you (because you're just that awesome...).
