Tim Conway is a seasoned mentor who understands
that each person is different: self-starters just need
a spark; introverts require a periodic flame of encouragement;
while procrastinators or Late Bloomers respond to a
blow-torch of constant support.
Tim adjusts his coaching style so an individual appreciates
his/her natural talents, investigates educational/occupational
possibilities, narrows options and follows-through on
a step-by-step plan. One of Tim’s
favorite quotes is: “Act and you shall achieve.” So he
challenges a young adult to take more action to improve
their life — such as making career
exploration a “new hobby” and
setting short-term goals with deadlines.
Reality check: effective career management is a continuous
process — not a quick fix. In fact,
Tim has observed that the best results occur during periodic
consultations with a client. There are several points
when Tim’s savvy
tips and industry contacts are valuable:
