Hello, my name is Nick Rustad and I am our co-owner, co-founder plus head consultant.
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME TO TRADE IN YOUR UNFULFILLING JOB FOR A WELL-PAYING CAREER YOU ACTUALLY ENJOY?
I'm a professional career and business consultant for ambitious yet unfulfilled professionals and I want to help you swap your mediocre job for one that cancels the Sunday Scaries— for good .
How many of these feelings do you experience on a regular basis?
Low self-confidence, self-doubt, or imposter syndrome.
Discontent, even pure unhappiness, with your current job.
Bored with your daily life, largely because of your career choice.
Desperate for a change, or a clear plan, that will lead to more career satisfaction.
Asking yourself what you’re doing with your life (and then self-deprecating into the thought of, is this forever?!)
Was that a mental check, check, check?
I thought so #beenthere, but before you dive headfirst into another pint of ice cream, you can let out a sigh of relief because you’re in the right place to change your career trajectory and create a profession you LOVE.Yep, it’s possible and I’ll show you how!
LIVING FOR THE WEEKEND IS NOT SUSTAINABLE
Despite what you’ve been conned into believing, you can (and should) have a career that gives you a sense of purpose, autonomy, and relatedness.
For some people, a job that pays the bills might be enough, but the truth is it’s not enough for you and it’ll never be enough. You’re far too ambitious to keep doing unfulfilling work for years to come—you need more, and that’s not a bad thing.
Our Clients
I work within any industry, profession, or location in the U.S.
Meet Jordan A., Greg M. and Jordan I.
HERE'S HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER:
1:1 COACHING
My coaching will challenge you to think about your future, in an objective way, leaving all past job experiences behind. I will give you the tools and strategies to determine your next best step whether that’s at your current job or a new career entirely. Together we’ll create a plan to narrow down what types of roles and companies you’d get the most fulfillment working for and then build the strategy to land those roles. This coaching has accountability baked in so you have consistent support and encouragement as you change the direction of your future.
