Testimonials
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

wow, these people are really impressive
“Your perspective is really unique, Jared. When I first saw some of your work, I thought, 'Wow, these people are really impressive. I don't have a story like that.' Now, with my own story nearly complete, I can see why you thought, early on, that it was equally competitive. It just needed to be fully built out.”

former GC of [Fortune 75 subsidiary]...complimented me on my LinkedIn profile
“Shauna, I’m writing because I recently referred my friend [name]—former GC of [Fortune 75 subsidiary]—to you after she complimented me on my LinkedIn profile. We both know that profile was a sad slip of a thing before you worked your magic, so [she] is very interested in working with you... And you can bet I’ll be hitting you up in a few months for a refresher. ;) Sending loads of good cheer.”
