Steven Simon

Over the past 50+ years, Dr. Simon has counseled clients on career issues, managed and taught others who do the same, served as a vocational expert in court, and has written numerous articles on mid and late career issues. All his professional experience and training, including a Ph.D. in Counseling and a master's in Rehabilitation Counseling, has focused on helping others navigate their most difficult career hurdles. Recent interests have been in mid and late career change, with the intent of helping clients restore passion and meaning to their work lives.

Dr. Simon's first book in 2017, "The Ultimate Job Finding Solution: A Guide to Landing a Job in the Sweet Spot of Passion and Meaningfulness" was a prelude to his signature work published in March, 2018. "RELAUNCH! Stagnation, Change, and Renewal in Mid-Career and Beyond" is based on listening to what clients and others have confided as their most pressing and distressing issues regarding jobs and careers, and how Dr. Simon has attempted to help others restore or find for the first time a new love for the work they do. It is a culmination of a long career of experiences and knowledge in the fields of career counseling and career psychology. That career has evolved as changes have taken place in how people interact with work, how jobs have changed, and through the changing fads about searching for jobs vs focusing on time-tested methods.

After the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic emerged, the Pandemic and Post-Pandemic version of RELAUNCH! was published. The current 2024 edition now incorporates advances in artificial intelligence as they can apply to making career and job changes.
