Sean Harry’s Summary
As a career coach, I show people how to discover their talents and effectively market themselves. Most of my clients find positions in half the average time and are able to negotiate for a higher salary. But more importantly, they find engaging work, increased job satisfaction, and environments that fit their personalities.
Companies that I work with get happier, more productive employees and experience significant reductions in turnover. I welcome introductions to individuals who have had successful careers but are considering a career transition.
