Career Transition Coaching
Career transition is more than a strategy question.
Sometimes it is grief work, identity work, and liberation work too.
Career Transition Coaching is for professionals who are good at what they do, but know they can no longer “do this version” of their career. Together, we make room to name what no longer fits, clarify what you want next, and build a grounded path forward that honors both possibility and real-life responsibility.
Get clear
Name what is no longer working, what matters now, and what you want your next chapter to hold.
Rebuild self-trust
Separate fear from real-life constraints and make career decisions with greater confidence and care.
Move forward
Create a thoughtful transition plan that supports your values, well-being, financial reality, and next steps.
The Career Joy Journey
A practical path for moving forward
We’ll follow a human-centered process that helps you move from career disconnection into clarity, alignment, and action.

Acknowledge

Release

Reimagine
Clarify your values, strengths, needs, boundaries, and conditions for career joy.
4
Navigate
Evaluate options, make decisions, and identify realistic paths forward.
5
Move Forward
Turn insight into an intentional transition plan.
Meet Jonathan
I’m Jonathan Dumas, a Career Transition Coach helping people build a more honest, liberating relationship with work.
My work was shaped by my own experience with burnout, misalignment, and the pressure to perform inside systems that were never designed with our full humanity in mind. Today, I support people with a blend of strategy, truth-telling, and care — so they can make career decisions without abandoning themselves in the process. My work also draws on experience facilitating rooms where people can tell the truth about work.
What I believe about work
Joy is liberation.
Care is strategy.
Success is wholeness.
Work should not require self-erasure.
I help people build a more humane relationship with work, one rooted in clarity, boundaries, self-trust, and sustainable performance.
