"Outside the Job Box" Career Consultants

What led these consultants to this calling was a passionate commitment to helping people like you to create more meaningful, balanced lives working at what you love. Each one has a real gift for seeing how you can take your love for travel or horses or jewelry or working with teens or just about anything... and turn it into a viable business idea. And, while I may have given them the training and the tools they needed to help you to think outside of the job box, each of these dynamic consultants brings to their consulting sessions a world of unique life and work experiences – all of which can only benefit you.

These consultants won't talk to you about skills assessments, resumes, interviews or any of the other stuff of standard career counseling... In fact, if you want to go the traditional 9-to-5 job route, they will be more than happy to refer you to a more traditional career counselor.

Individual consulting styles, specialties, and consulting session options vary by consultant. I encourage you to read through each consultant description, visit their web sites, and then contact the consultant or consultants who seem like the best fit for you and your unique needs. I guarantee that working with an Outside the Job Box Career Expert will be the best investment you ever made in yourself and in your dreams.

To your dreams,

NOTE: This list is sorted alphabetically by last name.
