Mike Johnson

“I highly recommend Mike Johnson as a career coach. Having a successful career at IBM prior to retiring, Mike is passionate about helping individuals who are in a career transition. I highly recommend the book Survive and Thrive in Your Job Search by Dale Hinshaw, Tom Faulconer and Mike Johnson”

“After many years outside the traditional workforce, I retained Mike to help coach, guide, and mentor my transition back to gainful employment. After interviewing and evaluating several career coaches, I selected Mike, and after completing the process, I can now say that I couldn’t have made a better choice. Mike’s established process and tools combined with his professional, yet personal approach provided exactly what I needed. The discovery phase of the process provided incredible insight, direction, and validation of who I am, the strengths to leverage, and career directions to pursue. Digging in deeper, we were able to resurrect a 25-year old resume and bring it back to life in format and content relevant to today’s job market. Further coaching provided an approach and tools to network and market my skills in an effective manner. For anyone seeking a career change, I highly recommend Mike Johnson and Coach for Tomorrow!”

“Mike was instrumental in helping me craft my strategy and shore up my interviewing skills during my most recent job search and career transition. He was always available to me before and after an interview, and good or bad, remained consistent in his advice and approach to what I was trying to accomplish. If you are struggling with your current job search, thinking about a career change, or simply want to get better at interviewing, communication, or even self evaluation, then do yourself a favor and talk to Mike!”

“I was lucky enough to work with Mike recently. He helped me nail down professional strengths and possible career paths. His professional and engaging demeanor makes him a natural for this profession. I do - and have - heartily recommend Mike to anyone contemplating their next chapter; Mike has the insight and skill to articulate traits that maybe we hadn't thought applied. Outstanding!”

“Mike was recommended to me to help fine-tune my resume. I sent him a list of questions before we met and I was very pleased with his pro-active approach. He had reviewed and answered all of my questions. His advice was extremely helpful and I would recommend Mike to anyone needing a career coach. ”

“I have had the privilege and pleasure of working with Mike for many years and in different capacities. In addition to be intelligent, articulate and hard working, Mike truly cares about those with whom he works. That care is evident in the little extras he does without thinking. Thanks for all the little extras, Mike.”

“I have used Mike for career coaching. I found him to be insightful, patient and willing to offer excellent guidance. He helped me with focus and provided valuable recommendations for fine tuning my resume. I would recommend him to anyone who is in transition and needs some assistance in their journey. ”

“Mike's Personal Branding training was spot on for our team! He provided the information and tools to allow our team members to take ownership of their careers. It's invaluable to our organization because team members can now look ahead to the jobs they want and begin to forge their own paths to the next level. As managers, we get more motivated employees who have a clearer understanding of their skills and their skill gaps. That's something we can build upon for their growth and retention.”

“I like Mike! He's engaging and easy to talk to, continuously encouraging members of the accountability group he facilitates to articulate their progress, goals and challenges. Mike provides calm and focus while keeping the group members looking forward to their next, better career options. Mike has a knack for explaining technology-related concerns clearly, in "plain English," and he consistently follows up to make sure any problems have been resolved. I appreciate Mike and highly recommend him!”

“Mike is an invaluable part of my career transition from a longtime freelance practice and back into organizational leadership. Mike leads a team of jobseekers, and it’s the weekly accountability exercise that keeps us from falling behind on applications, networking, continued learning opportunities, teambuilding, etc. Mike pays close attention to each team member’s successes and struggles, and provides clear, concise, specific and achievable goals. ”

“Mike has done a great job of spearheading 2 accountability groups I attend. He keeps everyone clearly informed and helps connect many members together with viable leads to opportunities. He is able to get an understanding of what people do professionally and personally. Mike also volunteers his time. It's much appreciated.”

“Mike doesn't just go to work as a career coach, Mike IS a career coach through and through. Mike has been an incredible help to me while I am searching for my future career. I can easily say that through Mike's coaching, I am now much more focused and certain about what it is that I have been built to do. I feel equipped and confident from my discussions with Mike, and I can't wait to hear the stories of the people that he will help next.”
