Testimonials

John contributed greatly to my career development by helping me refine my talking points and getting me to see things differently about myself while using my authentic voice. What sets John apart is his compassion for others and his consideration of our well-being. He opens the door so you can easily find purpose and meaning, not just professionally, but in all you do. You know you have an amazing career coach when they help you unravel things that hold you down, and tap into the inspiration and confidence you so desperately wanted to attain. 

- Paul P., Business Development & Partnerships, Sales & Marketing

Having John’s mentorship and guidance throughout the way helped me secure my dream job! One of the biggest things I remember is reviewing my strengths and ‘weaknesses’ and learning how to shift my ‘weaknesses’ into something marketable. I basically learned how to sell myself while not selling myself short.  

- Patrick C., Water Resource Engineer

John Mathews is a great coach, trainer, and career counselor. I'm a Security Manager at VFC, and John helped me and many of my colleagues develop and grow our skills, creating new opportunities for higher positions and higher pay within the clinic. I know several staff members who owe their new roles at the clinic to John. I myself was able to ask for a higher salary thanks to John's coaching and the skills he helped me develop. So If you want to develop into a leader within your organization, or if you’re just looking for a great career coach to help guide you on the right path for you, John is the person you should turn to. 

- Andre R., Security Manager

I’m a technician who was looking to branch out. When the opportunity came about to teach a class, I was hesitant to take the challenge. John gave me insight on how to interview, and write a cover letter. He also took the time to talk things out with me that was inviting and sincere. It’s intimidating to start a different job, let alone a new career path. His help made that voyage less frightening, and gave me reassurance that I was prepared to take on the task at hand. Today, I am both a technician and a teacher. John was an essential part in helping to make that a reality. 

- Adam E.,  AVID Systems Integrator and Teacher

John has a passion for helping folks get to the next level in their career and it shows in his work and relationships he builds. I've attended many of his workshops from Leadership Academy to resume building and he always had great tips and advice. If I had any professional development questions, I always spoke with John. 

- Anasa M., Physical and Mental Health Provider

Having John coaching me, prepping me for my future career, was invaluable. I didn’t realize how much I had grown in working on resumes and interviewing until I interviewed with an engineering firm, and got the job! 

- Cassie C., Environmental Engineer

I first sought John for coaching when I found myself in a position where I did not see a future. John helped me clarify my goals for career advancement. Then his assistance with cover letters, resumé writing, and interview preparation were instrumental for achieving a promotion. I also turned to John for advice when I wanted to grow in place. I cannot recommend John’s career counseling highly enough!

John is an amazing coach! He has a great understanding of nuance and asks thought-provoking questions. He helped me to grow my team, as I was a relatively new supervisor. I am so thankful to have worked with John!

Ari P., Director of Program Management

John provided me insight into elements of the job hunt process that I wasn't even aware of before I met him. Instead of blindly applying to any job that seemed remotely relevant, John helped me find focus and direction so that I was able to find a job that matched my goals and my needs.
