"Ground-breaking"
"A global-first"
"Answers. Not endless questions"
"The 'quality content, to time' ratio is like nothing I've ever seen. So the value for money / ROI is extraordinary. I got so much out of each session and walked away energized, excited, & inspired." - Matt (ex-Bain), November 2024
When surveyed at the end of the coaching, 100% of participants scored 5/5 saying that they are "highly likely" to recommend this program to a friend.
Matt, SVP in Fintech & ex-Bain [N America]
"Rich, your program has been great. The "quality content, to time" ratio is like nothing I've ever seen. So the value for money / ROI is extraordinary. I get so much out of each session. I walk away energized, excited, and inspired to work on my job search tools - things that normally completely sap my energy.
Your resume format is a total game changer. I had my resume re-done this summer. They came highly recommended. The result was terrible. I spent as much money on their "services" as on the entire program.
After only a few weeks, I'm feeling so much more optimistic. I have a few interesting jobs in process. I have a much better way of marketing myself. And I have a few weeks left to learn more from you & the others you bring in.
I'm glad I saw your post about coaching. I'm glad I responded. I'm glad you made sure I didn't lose my spot. Feeling really lucky and thankful."
Eli, Strategy Director & ex-Big4 consultant [Europe]
"I highly recommend Rich's support to any (ex)consultant considering a career shift. Thanks to his background, he easily relates to the situations & choices I face - so his advice is spot on.
I've gained clarity on what is most important for me and narrowed my search. The sessions on CV & LinkedIn are extremely practical and actionable.
I am really appreciative of the network Rich has put together. I've connected and learned not only from Rich, but also from an impressive group who have already helped me with this journey."
Rory, Commercial Director in FMCG ex-LEK consultant [UK]
"The program has been godsend during my career pivot, when I was starting to slightly lose focus. The structured nature of the sessions and pre-work has forced me to think about my career in a new way.
The Q&A - tapping into Rich's unique knowledge & drawing on his wealth of experience - has probably been the highlight for me. The sheer breadth of understanding that Rich has - whether you are making a change to another sector, or function, or company size, or way of working - is really top class.
I had thought prior to starting the course, that because I already knew the sector / kinds of roles that I wanted, the first few sessions might not be relevant. But this was absolutely not the case. They helped me validate some decisions and challenged me to think through elements I hadn't considered, which really built my confidence.
For those that are very action oriented, the sessions on CV writing & running an optimal job search are particular highlights. But for those that are looking for more general help more around motivation, or purpose, or clarity - this is a fantastic way to do it."
