Be Intentional About Your Search

My Why

We all have a journey; some have a clear direction that leads them to a career they will retire from someday. For others, we take detours along the way for various reasons. Human Resources, as a career, was a no-brainer. I leveraged the experience gained from working with Fortune 500 companies and non-profits and launched my career as an HR Advisor and Job/Career Search Mentor. My unique approach is serving entrepreneurs by providing budget-conscious human services that allow them to grow their businesses and profits so that they can have more impact. 

I love working with individuals in career/job transition. Every time I step into a mentoring engagement, I’m honored to be part of the journey.  My Guinness Zone advocates for older adults wanting to stay or re-engage in the workforce on their terms; it’s sustainable for families and businesses. Respect is a fundamental value they want—and deserve–in every aspect of their professional lives. I bring my sense of humor and business and leadership experience to every engagement.

“As you can imagine, the search process can be anxiety producing as one tries to ensure that their next career move is the right one. Simone spent time getting to know me beyond the resume. This process was affirming in many ways especially because I felt that her goal was not simply to get me placed. It was much more than that. She honored the fact that I wanted a role that was in alignment with not just my skill set, but my values and personal and professional aspirations. I felt that she was one my side but at the same time advocated for her client. She is skilled in the art of finding the “sweet-spot.” I was very pleased with the process and her responsiveness and follow-up even after the placement was successful!”

“Her leadership was respected amongst the staff and her guidance and direction was always accepted without question. Simone has the innate ability to speak to you — not at you or down to you — a trait that you can attribute to all successful leaders. I consider Simone’s morals and values to be without reproach. Simone lives her life by The Golden Rule and I believe it would be hard to find one person to contradict that statement. She gives everyone the respect that they deserve and expects that respect in return. I would welcome the chance to work with Simone again in the future.”
