What our clients Say
I worked with Lawrence Hedblom when I was in transition and have continued do so in my new position. Lawrence’s counsel and advice helped me present at my best in job interviews and helped me evaluate which position I should choose when I was offered more than one. He has also helped me develop more acute insight into the persons with whom I work, which has enabled me to navigate successfully the political shoals of my new position.

I retained Lawrence to support me during a job transition, and I strongly recommend him for executive outplacement and coaching. He helped me prepare a new resume, which is a much richer and a more cogent representation of my strengths. Lawrence also assisted me with strategies for identifying my next opportunity. He is a perceptive listener whose advice hits the bullseye.
