his framework for evaluating my value changed how I see myself

– Commercial transactions and licensing attorney for a Fortune 10 company
I'm at a loss for words
“The work Jared put into this, and the deliverable, is so different and so much more, so much better. I'm at a loss for words. I look at résumés regularly, typically for people who are trying to get a job within the company or department, and they're very straightforward. I don't see résumés at the higher level and certainly don't look at board résumés, so this is all new to me.”
– Global retailer GC
I didn't realize how complex résumé writing could be
“Jared, I didn't realize how complex résumé writing could be, and how much went into it. I slapped together a résumé, sent it to you at the beginning of our working relationship, and thought it was great. I was so naïve.”
– SVP, GC and Corporate Secretary for a Fortune 100 retailer
your JDA has helped me realize so much
“Jared's JDA has helped me realize so much. I wouldn't have realized how important crisis and reputation management is as a GC, and how valuable that can be going forward. I just take it for granted.”
– GC and Corporate Secretary for a security consulting, training, and equipment company
the JDA gave me a better way to participate in broader conversations
“Jared's Job Description Analysis (JDA) was really interesting in terms of learning what other GC roles are like. There were the obvious skills that every GC should have as a lawyer. But companies want more than that. The JDA gave me a better way to participate in broader conversations.”
– SVP, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary for a government contractor
Who knew there were so many things you could do with branding your career?
“I'm fascinated by how you work, Jared. Who knew there were so many things you could do with branding your career? I never would have thought about identifying my own deal-breakers when it comes to a new company. I need to have a seat at the strategy table, and if they don't need that in a candidate, then they need a different person.”
– General counsel for private company in the security sector
thank you so much for your expertise in helping me revamp my brand
“Jared, I'm super stoked! Thank you so much for your expertise in helping me revamp my brand, and for the career coaching. It has been so great working with you. I won't start crying but I want you to know how helpful this has been.”
– Direct of Litigation, L&E
this has been really illuminating
“This has been really illuminating. The way Jared thinks is a completely different way of constructing a story. It shows my value to my work right now, but also helps me plan for what I can or want to do in the future.”
