“I met with Dr. Jim when I was contemplating a career change. He helped me understand why my then-current job wasn’t a good fit and helped me understand the characteristics I should seek in a new career to better fit my personality and skills. Thanks to his guidance, I am now several years into a new career that I truly enjoy. I heartily recommend anyone who isn’t fulfilled in their career to take time to meet with Jim.”
“Dr. Jim Bailey was an enormous help to me in a time when I felt trapped by a college degree in a field that I had no passion for. He listened to me vent, assured me that I was not crazy, and helped me explore several options for moving forward. Today I love my job, and I never would have had the courage to make a change without Jim’s advice and encouragement.”
“A few years ago, when our son was struggling with making a HUGE change in his college major (and future career) we sent him to Dr. Jim Bailey. At the end of those weeks together, our son had a much better understanding of how he was “wired,” of his calling and career, and of how he wanted to live his life. He later said those sessions with Dr. Bailey were one of the best gifts we’ve ever given him. We couldn’t agree more!”
Career Coaching Packages
Whatever your situation, Dr. Jim can help.
