Outcome is important but the journey and learning experience is equally important and this is where Ian brings his expertise and personal approach.

 

Working with Ian Christie was one of the best investments I’ve made in my career. His expertise in executive storytelling, strategic interview preparation, and leadership development directly contributed to landing the best role of my professional life.

About Job Search & Career Change 1-1 Support

After more than a decade of organic career advancement, I decided to re-enter the job market and quickly realized I needed clarity on which direction to take, strategy to get me to my next professional destination, and guidance to support me along the way.

By putting in the work and following Ian’s system, I went from a place of uncertainty to interviewing confidently within a matter of months.

Four months into my new position and I couldn’t be happier. I would not be where I am today without the support of the Bold Career Project. I highly recommend Ian and his team to anyone feeling stagnant in their career and looking to make a meaningful transition.

Nicole Trigg

Senior Communications & PR Leader

As a seasoned executive leader, I’ve worked with many professionals over the years, but Ian truly stands out. He provided me with practical, tailored advice that I could immediately apply in my role, making a real difference in how I lead.

What I appreciated most was his ability to help me uncover deeper insights about my leadership style and the unique value I bring to an organization. The sessions were thoughtful and eye-opening, giving me tools and strategies that not only refined my approach but also amplified my impact across the board.

If you’re a leader looking to gain fresh perspectives or elevate your leadership game, I highly recommend working with Ian. He brings a level of insight and practicality that’s hard to match.

The Bold Career Project offers a thorough, comprehensive framework to help you engage more productively with your career. From day one, Ian and his team offered a knowledge-base, tailored approach to career coaching. They offer a wide range of services and, more importantly, give you the resources to decide what works best for you and how best to use their assistance. I look forward to continue working with them in the future whenever the need arises!

I had the pleasure of having Ian as my first ever career coach to proactively support me in preparing to be able to build my resume, understand strengths and make myself ready to look for new opportunities. From a very high level, detailed career inventory (which was painful but so necessary), I was set up on the right path to understand what my strengths are, and what I want from my career and roles going forward. I highly recommend any professional to invest in a coach and Bold Career Project is a great company to do that with.

The Bold Career Project came recommended from a highly-respected, successful friend who spoke to its huge impact on her life. I started engaging with the Bold Career Project by using its resume and LinkedIn updating services, and wow, what a difference! I have received so many positive comments on how great and effective my resume and LinkedIn profile are at really showing what my abilities and personality are. I'm now in coaching with Ian and am formulating a strategy with him to take things to the next level. Highly recommended if you're looking for no-nonsense guidance to intentionally build a bold career!

I was very impressed with the way you translated what I had written into the correct language for this new career field I am trying to break into.

It keeps my voice and says everything I wanted to say but just in a way that clearly and concisely uses keywords and phrases that only people in the industry would be able to use so fluently.

Ryan Nieuwoudt
Head of Platform Development

Ian enhanced the way I think about my career.

Our journey started when I decided to pivot halfway across the globe during a worldwide pandemic. Ian came highly recommended and he lived up to his well-deserved reputation.

I knew that I needed help with my resume, LinkedIn presence and job search. Ian delivered all of that and more. He taught me to apply the analytical skills I use in software development towards understanding myself professionally. Vague notions of experience were transformed into relevant anecdotes and tangible achievements.

What struck me the most was Ian’s empathy. He genuinely cared about my success, giving me hope when the odds seemed insurmountable. His help was crucial in the realisation of my ambitious goal.

Simply the best investment I've made in my career. Ian is a pleasure to work with and offers tremendous knowledge and insight into the world of career planning. Ian helped me explore new career options after spending 15 years in a single industry. He helped me to articulate my skills and experience in a way that made them transferable to other industries. He opened my eyes to different career models and to target options that fit my interests. Ian prepared me to navigate the transition process with confidence.

Ian was recommended to me, I've recommended him to a number of friends and colleagues and I'll certainly be calling on him again in the future.

The copy writing he did for me is the best I have seen, which resulted in significantly raising the bar for my resume, LinkedIn profile, and bio. The personalized process and results both exceeded my expectations.

I was fortunate enough to be part of Ian's first class for his Intentional Career Growth project in 2020. I was a bit wary to join as I haven't found online training to be for me but Ian's combination of online discussion, offline reflection and his leadership made the program extremely worthwhile. The program helped me reflect on what I had done in my career and where I would like to go. I use the information I received from Ian's workshops and our fellow participants on a daily basis in both professional and personal situations. Ian is a calm and engaging leader and I would highly recommend both the Intentional Career Growth program and Ian personally.

About Job Search & Career Change 1-1 Support

The best career consultant in Vancouver!

After 19 years with my company I decided that I needed to make a strategic career move. Off the market for so many years I realized very quickly that I needed help in jumpstarting this next phase of my life so I enrolled into a career transition program with Ian.

Finding Ian was the best start I could have hoped for. I opted for the 'top of the line' service which included a series of online tools and training on resumes, job searching, networking, etc. Also included in the service and what I found most valuable was the one on one meetings with Ian. Through conversation and crafty probing he was able to help me unpack my brain and put on paper what I've achieved over the past 19 years.

After 3 months of working with Ian I landed my new assignment and have him to thank for helping me get there.
