About Steven Simon

I am a career consultant and author who founded and runs a private professional career services company. The company provides in-person and distance career counseling and coaching, and now includes a new publishing division, Career Frontiers Press. My strength is on helping clients find passion and meaning in work from mid and late career and into the usual retirement years. My recent books include \"RELAUNCH! Stagnation, Change, and Renewal in Mid-Career and Beyond-Pandemic and Post-Pandemic (4th) Edition\"(2024) and \"The Ultimate Job Finding Solution: A Guide to Landing a Job in the Sweet Spot of Passion and Meaningfulness.\"(2017). Prior background includes leading several large vocational rehabilitation and counseling programs for veterans, graduate school teaching, and publishing. My belief and experience is that most people can find a path to feeling a sense of passion for and meaning in work regardless of age and stage of career.Specialties: Distance/remote counseling methodology; vocational rehabilitation, job/career, and counseling services; writing and publishing.
