SUCCESS STORIES
Jason is a rock star! He’s incredibly talented in his work with both individuals and organizations. I am a senior partner and practice leader at one of the largest executive search and talent solutions firms in the world, and he recently facilitated our practice retreat. He was phenomenal in working with a diverse group and ensuring relevancy for everyone. He not only provided us with very tangible advice, but also helped us reflect and envision broad strategic opportunities.

Jason Levin facilitated an excellent and extremely relevant to our times lunch & learn for our investment team. In just one hour, he provided academic grounding and practical advice tailored to our audience. His engaging presentation style included specific examples and stories that would relate best to our professionals. Since we remember stories more than facts, his approach ensured retention. I appreciate the time he spent with us prepping the internal speaker for one section and brainstorming how we can translate learning into action. It’s been a few weeks since the session and reflecting on it is still energizing. Jason is not only an excellent presenter, but an excellent listener!

As a young partner at a large law firm, I knew I needed a business plan, but I didn’t know where to begin. Jason gave me the skill set and the confidence I needed not just to create a business plan, but to establish a professional image that I’m excited to grow. I would (and do!) highly recommend Jason for any lawyer similarly looking to create or grow a practice of their own."
Partner, Amlaw 100 Firm
I had the pleasure of hearing Jason speak at a Leadership Council on Legal Diversity conference last week. He spoke about how to shape and leverage your personal brand to advance in your career pursuits. Of the dozens of professional speakers and trainers that spoke at this four day summit, Jason was the only person to step off of the stage and interact with the listeners on a personal level. This intimate, fun, and engaging atmosphere he created by doing so led to more participation in the discussion, which I believe enriched the conversation for everyone. I would like to highlight that point-that his talk did not feel like a lecture, but like a conversation. That is no small feat when the conversation was one between he and a group of roughly 200 students. Jason's vast wealth of experience, knowledge, and passion, coupled with the interactive atmosphere he created, led to his talk being referenced throughout the rest of week during the conference. Whether you have an event planned for university students, small business owners, or fortune 500 companies, Jason's unique perspective and techniques to building your personal brand are bound to be welcomed enthusiastically by his audience. I plan on attending another engagement in October where Jason will be speaking. I look forward to becoming even more equipped to tackle a competitve workforce. Thank you Jason!

Jason is an incredible coach and adviser. He accepted to host a webinar for the World Bank Group's youth organization that I am part of, and we had more than 100 participants. We had extremely positive feedback about the practicality of the session. He was able to apply his knowledge to the very specific case of the WBG, which operates in a very specific sector and is characterized by a work environment that is very different compared to other institutions. He was prepared and engaged the audience in a very friendly way. He gave very tangible and useful advise to the youth who participated and we all had so many questions that the hour was not enough!
Nicole Silvya Bouris, MBA, World Bank Group
Jason was the keynote speaker at a networking event I recently attended for a local chapter of HR professionals. The moment I walked in, he engaged me directly and I knew I was going to get more than I expected from the session. Jason's command of the subject of networking (and more importantly follow up methods) was a prime example of re-learning existing information in a new way at the right time. I will be implementing his strategies and even before I achieve the results that I trust will ensue, I'm already indebted to him. Jason is an approachable expert whose true aim is to help others. A rare find! I highly recommend booking him to speak at your next event.

Jason Levin spoke to my government relations team about the importance of building, maintaining, and re-establishing a variety of professional and personal relationships. Modeled on his book, Relationships to Infinity, he offered constructive advice for both early career professionals and seasoned executives. He offered each of us concrete and achievable first steps to take and food for thought along the journey. I’ve heard from multiple team members that they thoroughly enjoyed his relatable and practical presentation – and we’re each actively thinking about how to implement his advice.
Christina West, Associate Vice Chancellor for Federal Relations, Vanderbilt University
I was a senior level technology executive looking for advancement into the c-suite. I was having a hard time communicating my value to an organization in a way that resonated with hiring execs. I knew I needed to do something different but did not know where to begin. I was referred to Jason by a mutual friend. After reviewing my resume, Jason quickly identified flaws in my resume and was able to transform it into a product that effectively communicated my brand or value in a meaningful way to hiring execs. Through his guided efforts, enthusiasm, and encouragement I was able to sharpen my communications skills, develop my personal brand and enabled me to tell a story. Jason’s style of engagement is refreshing, energetic and direct. Our work was transformational, setting me on a whole new path by exposing my passion for entrepreneurship. I highly recommend Jason for anyone needing career transition assistance or executive coaching. You will not be disappointed!"

Jason’s passion for career coaching and extensive experience in brand management are powerful tools for anyone exploring a career change. My work with Jason centered on personal branding – my resume. In very short order, Jason transformed my tired, task based resume into a dynamic overview of my skills and accomplishments. He is a skilled listener. By focusing on those things unique to my career, diving deeper into the critical issues, assessing the impact of my activities on key stakeholders and management, and highlighting underlying experience and values, he gave my resume a powerful voice. In addition to my new resume, and owing specifically to his penetrating questions and diligence, I came away with a renewed sense of purpose and a confidence in the career I’ve led. Jason’s energy, passion and engaging personality made the experience enjoyable. -Paul M. (C-Suite Exec, 20+ years experience)"
Jason is the best!! His guidance, encouragement and advice we invaluable during my 6 month job search. He honed my interviewing skills and had me focus on talking points which I normally would have not even considered. The end result was a new position! Thanks Jason!"
Jeff - Director of Tax, Fortune 500 Company
Jason helped me build the confidence I needed to handle my salary negotiation (with a Global Fortune 500 company) in a calm and professional manner — without stepping back from my target. His practical strategies and contextual knowledge about the job market were invaluable. I couldn’t have done it without his help!"
Susanne S. - Ivy League Undergrad, Technical PhD
After almost seven years at the same company, I was seeking a career change but didn’t know what that could look like. I reached out to Jason in hopes of finding a career coach who could give me the tools to provide guidance for this process. My first exercise with Jason was very eye opening and I was amazed at how he listened and was able to create a profile of potential career paths for me. His “out of the box” thinking was invaluable and he opened my mind to possibilities I wouldn’t have considered. I also appreciated that he put the process back on me and provided steps to help me move forward. The real personal touch was receiving notecards from Jason with newspaper clippings spotlighting industries and companies to research. I really felt he was vested in my success. When an amazing opportunity came my way, I called Jason and he made himself available on short notice to talk me through preparing my resume. His advice and insight helped me present myself on paper in a way that I was proud of. Submitting my resume quickly turned into interviews where Jason also offered advice and directed me to a recent webinar he had facilitated. I felt very prepared going into this process and this helped to boost my confidence. Finally, when I received my job offer, Jason was available to help me prepare for a negotiation of my compensation package. Throughout my time working with Jason, he has been a great cheerleader and coach. His support was invaluable throughout every step of my process and he really gave me the confidence to try something new. Reflecting back, it is amazing how the strengths and interests Jason outlined in my career profile are reflected almost 100% in my new position. His ability to give me the clarity to identify the right next move for my career was invaluable and I think this is what differentiates him. I look forward to continuing to work with Jason in the future and recommend him to anyone who is trying to navigate changes in their career."
Tania - Marketing Professional
My career was at a major crossroads when I worked with Jason. I was considering leaving the practice of law, but I really had no idea what would be next. Jason guided me through the process of focusing my job search on those jobs that I would be both qualified for and passionate about. He encouraged me to pursue my goal of working in the international arena, and taught me how to market my qualifications even though I did not have recent international experience. With his help, I applied for and found a job at the Department of State that perfectly matches my interests and skills. I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Jason."
