Expert career coaching for people seeking purposeful, future-proof work that matches their unique talents

Full Details About Jeff Baker, Positive Futures Career Coaching, and his Career Coaching and AI Services

Jeff Baker, the founder of Positive Futures Career Coaching, specializes in helping people identify their ideal work - what they would be most motivated by, fulfilled doing, and excellent at while meeting their financial needs. Although this does mean identifying the best career for them, the goal of the program is bigger than that. We do the work to get clear on how this person is designed meaning:

• The types of problems they are gifted at solving.
• Their complete set of talents (which is often called your gift) that gives them a competitive advantage and allows them to rapidly learn and improve, ultimately developing mastery in an area.
• The types of skills and abilities they easily get in a flow state using.
• The environment or conditions in which they do their best work.
• Their primary drivers including what inspires them to start something, what sustains them when things get hard, and what has them feel fulfilled and recharged, excited for the next project.
• What is most meaningful or purposeful to them.
• What is easiest for them to learn, understand, and think about so they can feel confident, be creative, and orchestrate the work of AI rather than be a procedural worker in danger of being displaced by AI.
• He helps them achieve this via his Career Revisioning Program. A comprehensive system that has been perfected over 10 years and produced over 500 successful career transformations.

Success Rate

For the past 3 years Jeff has had a 100% success rate. This is possible because he is selective about who he allows into the program. He only allows in people he is sure will succeed. He determines this by having a 2-hour Career Roadmap Session (described below) with everyone before offering them a position in the Career Revisioning Program.

Guarantee

Jeff offers a 100% money back guarantee. During the program we will identify and agree on the 3 primary goals of the program. Jeff guarantees clients will achieve those 3 goals or he will provide a full refund.

The Career Roadmap Session

The Career Roadmap Session is a valuable and important session. During this session Jeff guides the client through a series of scenarios and questions that help him discover many important qualities, abilities and character traits. The intentions of the session are to:

1. Uncover some of the really important and difficult things for clients to discover on their own such as their “Why” or “Purpose”, which is basically what matters most to them - what they would most want to put their time and attention towards if they could. Also to uncover what makes them remarkable, valuable, different from other people.
2. To look at the roadmap for how to successfully get from where they are now to knowing with certainty what their ideal work or career is and successfully transitioning into it.
3. To get a chance to work with Jeff and make sure this is definitely the right fit for them before committing to the full Career Revisioning Program.
4. For Jeff to get a chance to work with them and make sure there is nothing that would stop them from succeeding in his program.

If he did find there was something that would stop them from succeeding then he:

• Tells them exactly what that is
• Gives them their money back for that session
• Does not offer them a position in the Career Revisioning Program

However, if there is nothing he feels would stop them from succeeding then he offers them a position in the full program and then they get to choose if they would like to do the program.

Jeff has done over 1000 of these sessions so has gotten extremely good at recognizing the patterns, abilities, and qualities people have and how those relate to their work life. He’s also extremely good at communicating those qualities, abilities, and patterns so people see them, understand them, and know why they are valuable in the context of work.

Jeff has had a 100% success rate for 3 years partly because he is careful not to work with people who are not a good fit for this type of deep work but mostly because he has mastered his profession and knows how to help almost anyone successfully achieve their career goals.

Additional Services Offered

Talents Discovery Session

Everyone has roughly 5-7 talents, but most people only know one. Over the last 14 years I have developed a unique and extremely effective method for uncovering a person’s full set of talents. Knowing your full set of talents, often called your gift, is essential to choosing a career path in which you will thrive.

Why Talents Matter

Have you ever competed against someone who was naturally gifted in an area you are not? The difference is stark. It's not just about effort. Having a natural talent gives you an unfair advantage.

Most people navigate their careers knowing just one of their talents. But here's the truth: you possess 5-7 talents that, when properly identified and combined, create your distinctive competitive advantage. This advantage compounds over time, forming the foundation for exceptional career growth and fulfillment.

What to Expect

During our first 30-minute session we will

1. Clarify what talents are why they are critical to having a great career.
2. Learn how to recognize them
3. Set you up to do some preliminary work that will make it possible for us to discover your talents in the next session

During our second 1.5 hour session we will:

1. Uncover your complete set of innate talents
2. See how your talents combine to form your unique gift
3. Explore how and where your unique combination of talents will give you a competitive advantage.

The Career-Changing Impact

Imagine your career as a path. Doing work in an area in which you have no talent is like walking uphill — it takes constant effort and you are slow. But when your work is a match for your talents it's like walking downhill. Long strides, a feeling of ease, and rapid progress.

Equally important, people further along the path than you can see you have natural talent in this area. They know the importance of that and will offer you opportunities. It serves their self-interest to hire the best talent.

What You Receive

We'll detail your talents together. You'll get:

• A deep understanding and written description of your full set of talents
• The session notes including your talents profile
• A recording of our session
• Clear understanding of your unique advantage

Frequently Asked Questions about the Talents Discovery Session

Is this a standardized assessment?

No—this is better. Rather than receiving a generic report, you'll participate in a guided discovery process where you learn to recognize and articulate your talents with clarity and confidence.

What's your methodology?

This is a refined process developed over 10 years, tested and perfected through work with hundreds of people. It's not a standardized test but a sophisticated exploration tailored to uncover your unique talent profile.

What's your success rate?

Nearly 100%. The process works for virtually anyone who can engage in self-reflection and thoughtful discussion. (The rare exceptions are individuals who struggle with basic self-reflection.)

It is a modern take on career counseling and much more personal and motivating than I expected from a career counseling course.His program is unique because it really drills down into who you are, beyond typical personality and job tests. The program reveals to you, step by step, what you require to feel completely satisfied with your job and career. As a person, I found Jeff to be very approachable and knowledgeable.He was always easy to reach when needed and it is clear from the time and energy he puts in, that he really cares about his clients’ wellbeing.

Ryan Budd

"It was a fun and fascinating journey working with Jeff, in which I unearthed things about myself in ways that allowed me to find clarity about where I thrive and what matters to me. Jeff is wonderful at posing questions and giving you space to explore without ever imposing his own opinions or ideas on you. He's there to give you the tools you need to come to your own discoveries and understandings, not to tell you what you should do, and as a result you come out of the program knowing better what you need and ready to make your own choices. I'm finally feeling unstuck and getting back to working in the ways I enjoy, and am very glad to have worked with Jeff on making this happen. Thanks so much!"

Kirsten Starcher

"Jeff is an amazing career coach! His program takes on a very structured approach comprised of a framework consisting of exercises and resources that will help you uncover your key ingredients so you feel confident in who you are and where you are going. Jeff is very passionate about his work, highly invested in your success, and goes above and beyond to help you achieve your goals! I highly recommend Jeff to anyone who is looking for a career coach!"

William Kinash

"I knew from our very first conversation that Jeff understood what I was looking for. In our first session, it became clear that working with him would be, if nothing else, an enlightening experience. After working through his exercises and having many meetings together, I felt confident in my career decisions moving forward. It's now a year later, and I haven't looked back."

Cory

"I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but Jeff helped me pivot into a life I never knew I could have. Jeff is an expert in asking the right questions, providing valuable exercises and empowering you to get yourself on a path to success. No gimmicks and every minute of our time together had value. I don’t anticipate to feel stuck on my life path again, but if I did, Jeff would be my first call."

"Jeff was really good to work with, I would highly recommend positive futures to anyone who is looking for a career that matches their values, natural talents, and motivators. When your career is aligned with your natural talents and motivators it will give job satisfaction and allow you to excel and thrive in your work."

James Stobbe

"Working with Jeff was an incredible experience, and one that I recommend to anyone regardless of the stage they are at in their career. Having worked with so many people, Jeff was able to masterfully identify what my strengths were given my experience, and what truly inspired me. I think we lose sight of these things as we get established in our careers. The self-discovery alone is worth the cost of admission and I was able to come out with a clear direction of what I want out of a career."

Shawn Williams

"I spent a couple of months with Jeff as my Life/Career Coach. We went through phases to arrive at a place where I am more happy with my career status. You would start with getting to know yourself better and reach to planning actionable next steps.Jeff comes with step wise strategies and science to help you through this process. He is easy to work with, flexible to meet, and supporting through the program.A computer developer bored from 8 hours a day sitting behind the monitor is now much happier with his life taking a 3 months backpaching trip to South America and shifting his career to become an Educator supporting his students become better Data Scientists! I am now using my social skills and enjoying helping people reaching their potentials!Thank you Jeff!"

Borna Ghotbi

Working with Jeff was a pleasure - he is professional, dedicated and a wealth of knowledge. He genuinely cares about your career and helping discover what makes you tick. I enjoyed the exercises we worked through together and individually to help me define my 'key ingredients' that make up my unique career offering. I feel much more confident and excited about my future after working with Jeff.

Suzanne King

"The program at Positive Futures Career Coaching allowed me to gain clarity on my current career path in a time where I was very conflicted and confused with my future career plans. Not only did the program help, but Jeff was genuinely very interested in helping me and in my opinion our conversations went above and beyond the program. I would highly recommend working with Jeff to anyone in need of career clarity and guidance."

Ryan Mah

"I was looking to find a job that is truly fulfilling and I got a lot of benefit from working with Jeff with this endeavor. I would say his approach is very rooted in getting to the core of what is really important for you, above all other criteria, and this program provided a useful framework through which to assess my next steps. I was interested in charting my own path as I made a career transition, and Positive Futures was absolutely accommodating for this objective. Jeff was able to provide some valuable insights, tips, structure and accountability that allowed me feel supported and comfortable as I transitioned into a new chapter in my career."

Brad Wishart

"I have worked with Jeff for almost 2 years, and the experience has been fantastic. Jeff's 1v1 work sessions, Jeff's assignments, and Jeff's mastery of the subject matter have tremendously helped me understand what motivates and excites me. His system for understanding yourself, creating a vision for your life/purpose/career, and then making that vision a reality is unique, effective, and a pleasure to participate in. And best of all, not only does Jeff deliver what he promises, but he's also a warm, generous, and fun guy to work with. I highly recommend working with Jeff if you're looking to create a vision for your future, whether it's a 1 year, 10 year, or 50 year vision, and I imagine I'll continue to work with Jeff for years to come."

Brian Albere

"Jeff is an experienced and skilled Career Coach who is genuinely passionate about finding the living purposes of his clients. Recently I attended his workshop, and I was blown away by his down to earth personality and unique coaching methodology. After his workshop, I was amazed by his talent to connect with others and his insights on how to build a fulfilled career path. I highly recommend Jeff to anyone who needs to make career changes and wants to live a happy life."

Nicolas Truman

"Having transitioned from engineering to wealth management, I found myself excited to pursue my "purpose" of helping people reach financial freedom. After the initial excitement of making that transition, I found that I needed something different...this wasn't fulfilling my needs. I could see a number of potential career paths, of which I could be equally successful, but feared making another failed transition. I liked how Jeff's program was structured: I now have a number of different reference documents that I continually review to keep my on the right path. The program helped me filter out the noise to find what truly mattered to me and it taught me to take the next steps to realizing my vision."

Michael Loconte

"Jeff is a fantastic career coach! His enthusiasm for what he does is completely infectious. Jeff doesn't offer magical or gimmicky solutions to achieve your career goals. Rather, Jeff gets you to dig deep in to the type of person and professional that you are, the career you want to strive for and gets you to come up with a clear and articulate vision for your future career. His program will demand you to think deeply about who you are and what you truly want in all aspects of your career and of your personal life as well.I personally entered this program already having a general idea of the type of career that I wanted, however, what I lacked was having tangible data that I could look to when preparing for interviews and articulating the type of professional that I am, what I'm all about, and what gets me up in the morning.After completing the program, I can say with confidence that I am much clearer on who I am and what I want and feel like I have a wide array of tools and language to articulate what I have to offer to potential future employers.I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone who is looking for a map towards figuring out the type of professional you are, what you want and what the steps are towards achieving your goals."

Jordan Wiseman

"Jeff is an amazing career coach! I was very lost and confused and didn't have a direction. I am glad I reached out to Jeff for help.I have alot more clarity after working with Jeff.  The program was extremely valuable and informative for me. Highly recommended !"

Anhad Ludher

"Jeff was incredibly helpful, friendly, enthusiastic and accessible. Working with him gave me the clarity and confidence to change how I look at pursuing a career. His program is extremely well thought out and well researched. I would not have been able to get to this point on my own. I can’t recommend him enough."

Anwen Rees

"Very engaging intensive process of self analysis..Jeff's coaching methodology implements the key core of  our inner selves and then allow that to match the type of work/business that's  going to bring out the best in us ..you are either forging a new direction or rediscovering what you always wanted .."

Mantej Hothi

"I was so lost, frustrated and scared of what my future may hold all I saw was a grey and boring outlook. Uninspired, I had no direction and had pretty much given up on myself and what I could offer others. However, Jeff turned all that around in a fashion that spoke deeply to me and what I know to be true. Throughout the whole process he stood by me and never left me to fall or falter in a way that was calm and collective and fully understanding and willing to lend a hand to get through the tough times. If you are willing to put in the work, trust the process and really listen to your inner calling, the results are amazing. I am filled with hope, confidence and a whole new passion for my future. The future is bright and Jeff provided that for me, we just had to remove the blockages!"

Kristi Rose

"Jeff was a pleasure to work with! He helped me explore my true vision with confidence and belief. Because of the program I'm working towards what I really want in my life. The journey is exciting!"
