Perspective: At first glance, Geoff’s an experienced and well-qualified business consultant focused on efficiency, as well as a career coach assisting clients with resume writing, LinkedIn optimization, and interview preparation.
What I learned during our profile conversation, though, is that Geoff is more than that. Beyond his love for music, family, and meditation, he genuinely enjoys helping others and is driven by others’ success (and he’s got this great LinkedIn challenge that I think has legs). So whether it’s efficiency gains in your business operations or getting that pay raise, Geoff’s going to have your back.
He’s open for business, and his 5-star reviews paint a picture of what you’ll get when you hire him.
