Rave Reviews about Career Potential
“There is just a small handful of people I have met throughout my years that have made a profound impact on my life – and Ford Myers tops my list! His experience, professionalism, insight, coaching and guidance have not only helped me secure my dream job, but have helped me in all other facets of my life. Ford was there for me every step of the way, and I could not have done it without him. When I hear folks complaining about the job search process, I know they haven’t met Ford Myers!”
— B. Sinkus, Senior Sales Executive
“I was fortunate to work closely with Ford during a recent job transition. He was exactly the right Career Coach to guide me through it. Ford’s expertise is impressive.

— M. Challman, Senior Supply Chain Executive
“This is going to be a seminal year for me, and so much of that is due to the hard and thorough work we have done together.

— E. Perry, Senior Human Resources Professional
“Ford is the consummate professional. He is not only a natural-born teacher and coach, he provides an excellent model for how someone at the top of his/her field should look, sound, and relate to others.

— J. Laramee, Information Technology Professional
“I met Ford Myers many times at seminars and networking events, and was skeptical of making an investment in career coaching. But my job search was inconsistent and frustrating, so I retained Ford to help me through a structured and organized career transition.

Without Ford’s guidance and expertise, I would not have been able to develop the materials and mindset necessary to achieve my career goals. I can say without hesitation that my investment in the Career Potential Program is the BEST investment I have ever made in myself. Ford’s coaching has taken me from Career Potential to Career Success!”

I heartily endorse his services!”

I used your negotiation training as well, and have happily just accepted a new position with a 35% salary increase. I couldn’t be more thrilled, and just wanted to say thank you. The six-month program I did with you prepared me perfectly to manifest the career evolution I imagined!”
