Jane Grady Zech, Ph.D.

Organizational Change              Career Transition              CareerPak Author 


For more than 20 years Grady, in partnership with professional business consultants, has consulted to executives in planning, preparing and executing large organizational changes.  CareerTrac focuses on the "human impact" side of reorganizations, downsizings, merger/aquisitions and plant closures. In addition to corporate transition consulting, we work with all levels of transitioning personnel.

Our individual career coaching services focus on facilitating successful outcomes for employees across multiple industries as they seek new career opportunities. Given the rapid changes and tecnological advances in the market, our counsel involves far more than the job search tools that were effective in earlier times.  "Pre-pandemic" trends have now solidified in the "post-pandemic" environment. For many this has triggered a career crisis, a sense of floating in between one trapeze ring (yesterday) and the next trapeze ring (today and into the future). Relying on the Chinese definition of "crisis" - (the presence of danger and opportunity)  we walk along side our clients as they explore dangers and opportunities in their career trajectory.

For many, new employment will require flexibility and openess to change at entirely new levels. Strategies for success involve deeper transformational change enabling people to become more centered and grounded in their higher purpose and "life mission" while looking at jobs as ever changing engagements that support  this higher individual purpose. Such engagements, whether they occur within or between given organizations, demand current applicable knowledge and the capacity to learn and adapt to advancements in all facets of technolgy. 

At record-breaking rates, applications for new business have soared during and in the aftermath of the pandemic. The lock downs and uncertainties of the future of major corporations have provided time for reflection, planning and courage to take the plunge into entrprenership. CareerTrac is uniqely poised to facilitate all aspects of business formation. For years we have helped clients build blueprints with clients for starting a new business, setting up a consulting practice, contracting and freelancing.
