Testimonials
Hi! I’m Mark Franklin, practice leader of CareerCycles,
Thank you for visiting our site! I’ve facilitated 10,000+ hours of career counselling, and was honoured to receive the Stu Conger Award for Career Development Leadership. I’m a University of Toronto adjunct professor, Career Buzz podcaster, OneLifeTools co-founder, Professional Engineer, and also a father, son, brother, friend, mentor, cyclist, skier, active traveller and grateful Canadian with our marvelous diversity of people.
After my own career unhappiness, I went back to school in counselling psychology. I was the only engineer among my grad school peers and soon learned how fascinating it was to bring an engineer’s systems thinking in a field with strengths in communication and empathy but few systematic methods.
After working as a career counsellor in big universities and private practice, I began to notice a pattern in clients’ storytelling, and drawing on transferable skills from engineering, I created what became our narrative assessment system.
Along my journey, it has been so gratifying to work alongside our amazing team of CareerCycles counsellors & associates to help over 5000 people make well-informed choices.
Along your journey, when the time is right, I welcome you to connect with us, learn more about career programs or get in touch with questions about organizational career management, career counseling, executive coaching, Who You Are Matters! conversation experience, podcast interviews, and more ways we can support you.
Storylistening, along with you,
