They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

The world is always changing, and so are your life and career.  Sometimes the change is expected and you are prepared, other times change comes out of the blue and you are caught by surprise.  People working in and around scientific research - whether in universities, colleges, big tech R&D departments, or scrappy startups - are constantly grappling with responsibilities that grow with seniority, changing tastes in research, and shifting priorities at grant-making organizations.  One day, you are happily running experiments in your lab, the next day you are signing travel expense reports and being asked to set strategy for your entire department or school.  Or maybe, after many successful years, you feel the pull to try something new.

Working with Mark, you will find answers to questions such as:

• How do I develop the management and leadership skills I need to be effective in my new role?

• How can I be a better advocate for myself and my work, increase my professional visibility, or negotiate a higher salary?

• How do I juggle the competing (and growing) demands on my time?

• Why do I feel that my life is changing?  Can't I just keep doing what I am doing until I retire?

• I relocated for work.  How do I make a home in a new neighborhood, city, state, or country? 

• What is meaningful work for me?  And how do I find a job doing that?

• Do I have enough money to retire or change jobs or start a business or take a sabbatical?

• My job is ending, where do I go from here? 

• How do I explain all this to my loved ones?  And myself?

These questions all have answers.  Together, we can leverage the power of your ideas to change your life for the better.

So, let’s talk.  

Better yet: you talk, I’ll listen.
