Hi James,
I have to thank you again. I got promoted to manager . As far as I know, it was the fastest promotion in recent years in the history of [top tier luxury brand] and I'm now the second youngest manager in the company. Can you believe that I'm now going to  handle a 4x  bigger business which will come in around $100 million USD!? I now have the social proof you talked about me getting and needing.

Cheers,
M.T.

Dear James,
After receiving your advice I was left speechless for some while. I cannot express how thankful I am to you for sharing your insight.

As you had noticed, I was leaning a bit towards the [fast rising startup] decision and needed a confirmation I am heading in the right direction. I have to admit I was just scared that whatever I decide, I will regret missing the other opportunity. However, you not only gave me this encouragement, but you also contributed with remarks about issues I was not aware of, or because of being emotionally involved in the decision, I could not notice.

Now, it all makes much more sense to me and the decision became somewhat easier:  before I had a feeling like choosing either option meant some sacrifices, but your argumentation shows me, that working at [top tier automotive brand] does not close the door for a [fast rising startup] career in the future. Therefore, my decision will be to work for [top tier automotive brand].

Yet again, thank you for your great help and giving me the confidence I needed.

Best regards,
G.L.

James,
It's uncanny! Everything you said and envisioned came true. Exactly as you said it. Do you read minds? It's scary. I used the exact two scripts that you gave me word for word  this was the "yes / no" commitment and  pin-down strategy along with a long reframe rope-a-dope routine (the college psychology class one). The bullying and power harassment stopped immediately, he even asked how I was doing. I don't expect it to stay this way for long, but I now have breathing room for my next move and can see how it's possible to manage him with ease for the very first time.

Another nice testimonial for my Crush Any Career! coaching program. Three fast sessions to take a 40+ year old from "everything but the kitchen sink" approach to clearly and specifically defining and developing with laser beam focus, two immediately actionable personas and the attitude that it's time to hunt bears along with the skills to do so.

"James helped me narrow an extremely broad skill set into the ones that were marketable and which told a coherent story about who I am and where I want to be. He also gave me a great deal of insight into where and how I should be looking for better employment. He's extremely well-prepared, knowledgeable about the industries he consults in, and generous with his time."

Hey James,
Your advice was so spot on it's frightening. I took the second sales position as you recommended. It worried me at me at first if I were making the right design, but you were right -- it's the best thing I did, a perfect fit for me  and what I need now. The other job was better on paper but I'm certain I would have been miserable there.
