Are you ready for the rest of your career?

We're working longer because we want to stay engaged, and find work that puts our experience and insight to good use.

We also want to work longer because, frankly, most of us need to. We're living longer, economics are uncertain, and no matter how much we've saved, we're likely going to need more.

Each week, you'll receive a practical career tip to improve your value proposition, expand and activate your network, and build a compelling professional brand.

Hi, I'm John

I’m a career coach and the founder of the MCL

I want all mid-career professionals to have great jobs and meaningful careers, and I publish this newsletter to help you do just that!

Strange as this may sound, I dine out on the fact that I was  fired 39% of the time in my 35-year Hollywood career as a studio executive, film producer, and tech entrepreneur. But I learned how to be resilient, resourceful, and how to flip the script on the broken hiring system.

When my startup tanked when the dotcom bubble burst in 2001, I pivoted to a focus on education and training, earning a master’s degree in counseling psychology to share my career lessons with others going through similar challenges.

Since starting my career coaching practice in 2012, I've helped hundreds of professionals get better jobs and transform their careers.

Join us in the Mid-Career Lab community and learn the skills and best practices to build and sustain the career you deserve.
