Honest Positioning: I will never claim credentials I don't have or promise outcomes I can't guarantee.

Final Note
However.cx exists because I saw talented professionals struggle to articulate their value—and I built the tools I wish I'd had throughout my career.
These tools represent decades of experience, extensive research, and genuine care for post-sales professionals navigating career uncertainty.
They're not perfect. They're not certified. They're not guaranteed to solve every career challenge.
But they're honest, systematic, and designed to help you gain the career clarity you need to make confident decisions.
Use them wisely. Think critically. Seek additional help when needed. And own your career journey.
