Dan King

“I probably could not give Dan a strong enough recommendation for his true value in assisting with my career goals. From the first meeting I had with Dan in 2006, while contemplating moving my family to the Boston area and looking for new business opportunities, I felt very comfortable in our discussion and felt that he quickly was able to identify he key elements of my situation and start outlining a plan of action to achieve my goals. His approach has always been systematic, but at the same time very personal, so that his recommendations would specifically connect to my needs and personality. After each session I have had with Dan, I honestly left with more clarity and a greater sense of purpose with both my short and long term goals. Recently, I have sought his counsel on some relatively minor issues and he was able to very quickly help me because of the strength of our relationship. As I have continued to develop my professional network, I recognize that we all find comfort in having professionals we can rely on, whether doctor, lawyer, or auto mechanic. Should I ever need additional clarity with my career goals, I know that I have the right professional to call.”

“I first met with Dan about a year and half ago as I was starting to contemplate not only leaving my current employer but taking my career in a new direction. Dan helped me understand my values, interests and strengths and with his guidance and coaching I was able to find a position that was still within the same field of work but was a completely different role. Without Dan's help and guidance I might have settled for the same position I was already at, just at a different company. With my backgound being in Information Tehcnology and Financial Services, I didn't think it was possible to find a role that was more focussed on the people side of business (rather than projects, budgets, etc.). After meeting with Dan and gaining a better understanding of myself I found a position as a "Relationship Manager" for a Trading Software company and it's proven to be a perfect position utilizing my background in Financial Services and IT but with a focus on client retention, growth and relationships. I have also found that working in a group with people whose passions are similar to mine makes work more enjoyable. As I learned from Dan that my top 3 values are: helping others, being intellectually challenged and having independence on the job, my new position provides me with all of this. Thanks to Dan I have found a position that I am not only good at but also passionate about!”

“I engaged Dan for career planning advice in 2003 and found his insights into my core skills and interests to be invaluable. I've stayed in contact with Dan since my initial work with him and have continued to value his advice. Dan helped me identify and articulate my strengths in the areas of strategy, communication, and healthcare business/IT optimization - and I have used his insights to successfully re-set my 'trajectory' toward a career in consulting. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for sound career advice that is delivered in a positive and reassuring way.”

“Dan provided the straightforward insight, explanation, and guidance I needed to reorient a stalled career search. He was able to quickly flag and dispel some mental blocks, helped me take a candid and expansive inventory of my resources and strengths, and worked with me to plan an effective campaign to find a new opportunity. Since then I continue to consult with him both one-on-one and in a group ... he's been a valuable sounding board and a guiding star. Highly recommended!”

“Over the years Dan has been an excellent advisor and sounding board for me in my career pursuits, making sure that the work that I engaged in was properly aligned with my true calling, which he helped me determine through analysis and dialog. Working with Dan helped me focus on what was proven to be right for me. I would (and have!) recommend him to anyone who needs help with their careers.”

“I have worked with Dan on several occasions and have found him to be a wonderful resource. His recommendations have always been helpful and insightful. Dan was able to provide guidance regarding a difficult situation that I was in and I think that the positive outcome I reached was very much due to his expert advice.”

“Dan has an uncanny ability to encourage introspection to determine the path that's most right for you. I recommend Dan to anyone I know that's struggling to find a professional direction.”
