Richard Phillips, Career Counselor and Coach

I am a career counselor and coach with over 15 years experience working with groups and individuals. I have been involved in career development projects at Sun Microsystems, Hewlett Packard, Intel, Agilent Technologies and many other companies. Prior to starting my career coaching business in 1991, I was Training Manager for a division of the Dun and Bradstreet Company. Also included in my background are experience in family-owned businesses and the public school system.

The focus of my work is to help talented and motivated professionals achieve long-term career satisfaction and prosperity.

I believe that when people experience the freedom to do their best work they give maximum benefit to themselves, their organizations and their communities.

My education includes a Bachelor's in Behavioral Science and a Master's degree in Counseling, as well as on-going professional development courses and seminars.

My clients work at some of the most well-known companies in the Silicon Valley and some that are on their way to becoming well-known. I have a thorough familiarity with the issues and working environments that characterize life in Silicon Valley.

When I take a break from helping my clients achieve success in their careers, I'm to be found behind the lens of a camera or at the helm of my small sailboat trying to master the finer points of seamanship. 

 I offer a free 30 minute telephone session to help you get started toward solving your career challenges - such as getting what you really want. The session is an opportunity for you to talk with a professional counselor and coach about what you want from your career or job and to get some initial feedback on what some solutions might be. It is also gives you the chance to experience my counseling style to see if I'm someone you'd like to have help you.
