Sample Client Blogs are excerpts from real clients and their actual blogs. All of our clients blog as part of the career discovery process. These are entries clients have decided to make public for everyone to see and we have posted them without any editing or filtering.

Books we recommend are, well, books that we recommend. We are often asked for suggestions and will continue to put new titles here for you to consider as you build your own library.

We offer two quizzes: one focusing on current career satisfaction and one looking at your aptitude for entrepreneurship. In both cases, you will need to provide us with your email address at the end of the quiz if you would like personalized and specific results.
