A Case Study of a Successful Career Campaign and Transition

Tweet

 

I was introduced to Paul via my friend and colleague Tad Diesel, a former client of Paul’s. I engaged Paul to assist with a career transition. In December 2010 I earned my MBA and wished to leverage that achievement into greater professional opportunities. However, this transition was more appropriately characterized as a ‘journey’ as it was much more than a search for a new job. My transition attempted to resolve a variety of issues including the direction of my career (i.e. corporate vs. public service), how to address my professional weaknesses and how to achieve the appropriate life/work balance.

My interaction with Paul began during Thanksgiving weekend in 2010. Throughout the 10 Phase methodology that began that weekend Paul’s enthusiasm and dedication to my journey never waned. Paul was always flexible and willing to accommodate my irregular work hours. Paul was also a patient listener as he and I scheduled several meetings to discuss my many questions regarding my career path. Paul also introduced me to his partner, John Birch, who also dedicated time to my journey.

I am happy to admit that I have now completed my fifth month as the President & CEO with the Bridgeport (CT) Downtown Special Services District. The guidance I received from Paul was essential to my success in reaching this point. Furthermore, my interaction with the Birch Group helped to (1) focus me on a career in urban district management and city management and (2) build a healthier work/life balance.

I encourage anyone – regardless of background or life demands – to engage Paul when seeking to make a work transition. Paul’s 10 Phase Methodology, enthusiasm, work experiences and humor will ensure that you will derive tremendous value from your time with him while greatly increasing the chances of securing your desired professional goal. I look forward to working with Paul as I progress along my career path.
