Testimonials from Clients

"Clay is an outstanding career counselor and coach. He is a great listener, and is able to lead you through the process of finding your life's work. His methods go way beyond the traditional image of a "career counselor". I found his use of the Myers-Briggs to be a great tool for understanding how your personality relates to career choices."

" I want to thank you for the work we did together. During our few sessions, you helped me find the strength to do what I knew deep down needed doing. I can hardly wait to get started with my  new career. "

- Mystery Writer

(A former Professor of Languages at a major university)

" I came to you a couple of years ago in the depths of misery, depression and a bad marriage, trying to find my career path and some happiness. We did the Myers - Briggs and other stuff, all of which I found to be incredibly insightful. As you know my dream had always been to fly. Yesterday, at the age of 44, I was hired at my first commercial pilot job! Now, after 23 years of temp jobs after college, I can actually begin my career. I will be flying for Ameriflight, taking cargo all around the Southwest. I can't wait. Ground school begins July 26th. Wish me luck.

All I can say is that dreams do come true.  But you might have to wait, work at lousy jobs along the way, dump bad marriages, and retrace your life's progress to see where it keeps going wrong, or as in my case, all of the above.

Maybe I can serve as a model for your less perseverant clients.  It's never too late until you say it is too late.  You can't fail, until you stop trying.

From eyes on the prize.

Thanks again for all of your help."
