I'll never forget that moment after completing my MBA in '06 when two executive-level leaders created roles for me, offered me more than I asked for, and would not take NO for an answer. Going from desperate for an interview...to THIS in just 3 months felt incredible.
That one moment began the undoing of every belief and preconceived notion I had about leaders and organizations...and how I could get the opportunities I needed to build my career.
It didn't matter that I didn't have 'perfect' experience or the 'right' connections. Or even that I was an introvert, shy and somewhat socially awkward.
Leadership teams pursued me..and offered me amazing opportunities to do the work I loved and was aligned with. Sometimes roles were created just for me! And in just 7 years I quadrupled my earning power to over $300K annual compensation including bonus!
A far cry from almost giving up a career in business after my MBA and going back to my $60K per year engineering job....just because I couldn't land a decent interview.
Instead, I experienced a level of control over my career where I could pick and choose what I wanted to do and how I wanted to make my impact. All because I understood my unique value, what leaders and organizations needed from me, and how to influence with integrity to get my outcomes.
In 2013 I made the decision to step out of my corporate career and share what I've learned with people so that they too can drive their careers, make a lasting impact and live the life they always envisioned.
TRANSFORMING CAREERS AND LIVES SINCE 2013
Since 2013, Amir has helped career professionals worldwide through his coaching, online training programs and live events. Whether they are new grads just launching their careers or in the late stages of their careers, planning the last few years before retiring, Amir has shown career professionals how to better understand their own talent and influence leaders so that they land the jobs and promotions they need.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"In 2016, over a cup of coffee, an illuminating conversation with Amir changed my perspective and my life. When you meet him, you get the feeling that he is clear on his purpose and doing exactly what he is meant to do. As I learned more about Amir, I understood how the events of his life prepared him. I went to him expecting a resume critique and I came away realizing how I was sabotaging my own career. To date, the principles I learned from Amir have translated to job offers immediately after interviewing. That is just a bonus and it is flattering. However, even more valuable is the knowledge gained from Amir on how business enterprise functions and how to leverage that knowledge to influence my desired outcomes. Amir takes nebulous and complex concepts and transforms them into systems to improve the lives of others. I continue to be a student of his and continue to have breakthroughs. His program is one of the hardest things I have done, but the clarity and sense of alignment I have gained has been worth it. His was a language that resonated with me more than any other program, coach or book that I had used to date. Amir goes beyond just getting you in the driver’s seat of your career. He reshapes your thinking to that of an elite racer."

"When I met Amir, I was at a low point in my job search. I had a few leads and even went through 3 rounds of interviewing for a role that was similar to my last job. And I didn’t get it. I was shocked, frustrated and losing confidence. Amir helped me re-discover my talent from all that I had accomplished in my career. He helped me realize that my worth wasn’t tied to my past employer and that I had the talent to outperform in any organization. This boosted my confidence through the roof. And with my new High Impact Resume, companies could finally see the value I had to offer them. I applied to 3 jobs and was called in for interviews almost immediately. And all three offered me jobs on the spot. The best part is that one company offered me 20% more than what they normally pay. The other offered to create a role for me. And the third offered me a job that I did not have experience in! All under 2 weeks!! This has been a total transformation and I couldn’t be happier. Since then, I have had 5 jobs offered to me even though I wasn’t looking, and my resume continues to get leaders’ attention."

"I'd like to express my gratitude to Amir. Before I met him I was having a hard time sorting out how could I apply for a job in a more effective way. Things were just not improving. But after I attended a webinar with Amir, followed by the discussions and chats we had, I started to feel very motivated and renewed. More than this, I do feel that I'm doing the right thing. He has been where I was and he’s clear on what works and doesn’t.”
