Welcome

"Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!" - Andrew Carnegie

  • Are you standing at the threshold of a significant career or life change and not sure where to begin?
  • Are you feeling drained or trapped by your work, with little time for the things that could revitalize you?
  • Are you worried about your future, feeling like you need a change to truly enjoy the next phase of your life?
  • Do you want to continue working in the next phase of your life, but don't want to remain in your current career?
  • Do you feel that your work is satisfying and important, yet you want to give more time to things that truly matter to your life?

By the time you've reached mid-life you have acquired everything that you need to make choices about the next phase of your career and life, but often lack the perspective needed to confidently make those decisions. If so, you can benefit from Walter Akana's simple, yet powerful, three-step process - Assess, Choose, Excel. With this process you can:

  • Clearly define yourself and your goals.
  • Make informed choices based on enhanced self-awareness and external research.
  • Stop 'winging it,' and have a tangible plan for what you want to get out of your life.
  • Ensure that you aren't overlooking any of the critical pieces of your life circle: career, family, relationships, self, leisure, and spirituality.

Kudos

  • “It was really great discussing my career direction with Walter. I found him to be attentive, a very good listener, engaging, and in a world full of negativity, very positive with a strong sense of purpose.” – Brad B., Health and Wellness Executive
  • "Your professionalism was superior to any kind of career counseling that I ever had before, and I felt we had a great working relationship. I was prepared and confident going into interviews; and felt like I had your support behind me, making it easier to show my abilities to potential employers. Based on your advice, I listed my top companies and pursued them. I truly believe it was the help and advice that I got from you that helped me to get the job I wanted with my first-choice company!" - Lindsay Seitz, Professional Pharmaceutical Representative
  • "Being in the thick of it for so long, I just couldn't see what my options were. Through your professional insight and expertise, you guided me through the process of identifying those skills that I could use in my 'second career'." - Eileen Kimble, Voice Over Artist and On Air Talent

    "You aided me a great deal by encouraging me to look at my professional identity, my likes and dislikes, and especially my authentic vocation. At first, I thought this was important information for reflection; yet, I had no idea that you would show me how I could transfer these necessary insights into a viable working portfolio." - Jennifer L. Manlowe, PhD

    "Thanks to [Walter Akana's] excellent advice in every step of the process, he helped me secure a position as a Spine Physical Therapist in one of Atlanta’s premier orthopedic clinics." - Doug Sturgess, PT, Cert. MDT

    Before I worked with Walter, I thought planning for retirement meant having enough money to live on. He has given me much more to think about; for example, how important it is to get started now on planning for how will I live my life and spend my days once I leave my career. - Cheryl B., Event Planner
