Client Testimonials
“After more than a decade in the energy industry, I knew I needed to switch industries as a project manager, but I felt very lost and unclear where to start in my job search. In the last year, I had already paid 3 different “guru” consultants for resume review and career coaching, but I didn’t receive actionable information.
Peter was able to bring in a fresh perspective on myself and help me pin point the exact skills that I’m strongest at, and which I should steer clear of. Together we were able to talk through scenarios which I would excel and bring me the most happiness. I believe the two main things that make Peter stand apart is: 1) he truly cares about the person and the journey, not just the process and 2) he made me stop and listen to myself about what would make me happy.
I’ll admit, this wasn’t an easy process, it’s not easy to be introspective and contemplate what would make me happy. But we came through the journey to understand, if everyone added the best part of themselves to the world (and began with myself), everyone would benefit.
I recommend Peter, not only as a career coach, but a re-centering life coach.”

“Peter is a highly observant, patient, and intelligent coach. I felt seen and understood in ways I didn’t even know were possible! He spends a significant time getting to know you and your goals. Going into any coaching relationship, one ponders if it will be worth the time taken away from the day on the job. However, I would gladly spend as much time as possible working with Peter and his style of coaching.”
Johnny McGinty, OCSC Sailing Inc.
“Peter helped me claim more fully the value of who I am and what I do and put it into clear, conversational language. Just as important, he helped me to make the full transition from work that paid the bills to a career afforded me a competitive salary and aligned with my deepest core values and talents. He made the process seem doable and almost easy.”
