Who Is Jeff Snyder?
I’m Jeff Snyder–a recruiter, coach, husband, father, entrepreneur, great friend, and risk taker. I started playing ice hockey at age 43 and have since skated over 500 hockey games since 2010. The fitness I’ve gained from hockey has saved my life more than once.
In my life, I’ve had to work harder than most people to overcome significant adversity. I know how to set and achieve goals that most people have never had to address. I believe in connecting one’s words to one’s actions in order to build deep, meaningful, trusting relationships. It is my mission to help my clients learn how to connect their natural giftedness with the work they do so they can deliver the best version of themselves in all facets of their lives.
My Futuristic™ (Visionary™) and Strategic™ strengths help me come up with solutions to problems many people don’t even know exist. The Maximizer™ (one of my top strengths) in me drives everything I do. That means that if you choose to hang out with me, we’re going to take good to great in your life and we’re going to strive for excellence so you can experience the results my current and previous clients have already experienced.
My clients benefit from tapping into my 28+ years of recruiting background and the fact that I’ve worked hard to align the work I do with my unique personal strengths. I help my clients to do this in their own lives. The work I’ve done to survey your customer in the business, strategically helps me to guide my clients to solutions that work and are proven worldwide to deliver results.
MY FRIEND NICK SAID IT LIKE THIS
“I am sorry you are facing this again and over and over. You have the most grit out of anyone I know. You are still here because God wants you here. ”
IT’S IN YOUR DNA TO COACH!
“Jeff, what you have goes beyond gifting. Coaching is your calling.
You have to coach other people to maximize themselves. It is in your DNA to do so.
Not exercising your calling would be a crime.”
YOU’RE LIKE A BIG JUICY STEAK OF COACHING!
“I know the “I think I can, I think I can” approach will never work without a goal and a plan.
I totally see you as the way to help me get there.
You’re like a big juicy steak of coaching! My mind is watering with anticipation! Thanks Jeff!””
INFECTIOUS ENTHUSIASM
“Your infectious enthusiasm is one of the factors that attracted me to your coaching services.”

Coaching Story and Credentials
Around 2007, clients and job candidates challenged me to provide coaching services. I listened and responded by doing research to find out what businesses wanted, needed and expected from technology and security professionals. I learned about the gaps that commonly exist between technology professionals and the organizations the serve.
After acquiring training and certifications focused on coaching, I created Resume Coaching, LinkedIn Coaching and Personal Branding Coaching Coaching services to assist my clients with their personal branding and marketing.
At an even more strategic level, I provide Career Coaching, Career Transition Coaching, CliftonStrengths™ Coaching, Executive Coaching, Leadership Coaching, Emotional Intelligence Coaching leveraging the EQ-i 2.0 Emotional Quotient Assessment and Behavioral Change Coaching services backed up by world-class training and certification from The Marshall Goldsmith Group, Executive Coaching University and Multi-Health Systems, Inc.

Jeff’s Clients Are Winners
“Until I sought to understand Emotional Intelligence and experienced the EQi-2.0 assessment with Jeff’s coaching, I would say that I was going through life not with blinders on but something similar to when my windshield wipers are unable to keep up with the rain collecting on my windshield. I have been successful and able to see clearly at times through the “windshield of life” even if life is pouring down on me. However, sometimes I pondered how is it that certain people are able to connect with so many people when sometimes I did not. The answer is Emotional Intelligence.”
“You’ve helped me so much, it’s hard for me to express in words. It wasn’t until I started Emotional Intelligence coaching with you that I started seeing the world through other people’s eyes. This is the gift you’ve given me.”
“I find it very refreshing to have additional clarity into how I tick. It certainly helps me to make the most of my strengths while being aware of my weaker areas. Thanks for walking me through the process. ”
