Success Stories: People Are Positive About Dr. Bob’s Career Guidance Programs And The Pathways He Builds.

I worked with Dr. Bob Gonet (Bob) for six months. During this time, I was seeking new employment. Bob was a fantastic career coach. He helped me to stay focused on me – my strengths, my successes, and what I could contribute to my next company.

I spent a lot of time during those months questioning my abilities. Bob did not let me spend any time wallowing in my doubts. His positive outlook and clear, prescriptive guidance was what kept me going. Bob advocated for networking and “pushed” me to challenge myself to reach out to colleagues. It was networking that resulted in my obtaining a great job with a wonderful, mission oriented company.

I highly recommend Dr. Bob Gonet to anyone who is changing jobs or who finds themselves a casualty of downsizing. Bob will lift your spirits and provide you with a balanced perspective to achieving personal and professional goals.

“I highly recommend Dr. Gonet as an executive coach. I hired Dr. Bob Gonet when I was leaving the corporate rat race of a large CPA firm. Dr. Gonet helped me look at all my career options and my skills and interests. We dug deep to find out what I was passionate about. After doing this background work, I decided that my passion was helping people with their business finances and started my own CPA firm. Transitioning from a salaried position to starting my own firm and supporting a growing family was a big undertaking and Dr. Gonet helped me map out and implement my plan. I am so glad I started my own CPA firm and often think of the huge positive impact Dr. Gonet has had on my professional and personal life.  Since then, I have hired Dr. Bob as my own Leadership Coach several times and am continually reaping measureable results.

Focus. Focus. Focus. He was great
As a recent graduate, Dr. Bob’s services were instrumental in helping me land a great job. He worked with me to improve my resume and taught me how to network effectively. He was most helpful in the way that he prepared me for interviews – specifically with the tough interview questions that most people fumble.
