What does your business do? “Career ownership coaching. We provide education, awareness and discovery for folks who are at a career crossroads. They’re trying to figure out what they want to do. I work with clients to help them come up with a vision, understand what their goals are,” Boland said. “The Entrepreneur’s Source has been in business 40 years. I have a franchise.”
Do you find jobs for them? “I don’t direct them into anything. I help my clients on a journey for them to discover what possibilities are out there for them.”

I helped doctors and hospitals get paid for their services. … The last 11 years I was a partner in an international firm that did that.

I went in with a free mind and the willingness to learn. … I’d been coaching people almost my whole career in my roles, help them get over obstacles, helping them figure out ways to be successful, helping them determine what they wanted to do. I’ve always loved working with people and helping people. It seemed like it would be a good fit.”
