How Much Does It Cost?


$1200

Cindy Chase, SHRM-SCP, SPHR

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularized in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

More About Cindy

Rod Dinger, A.A.E.

It can be a bit stressful for a candidate to consider leaving a job that they enjoy. Candidates find me extremely easy to talk to and helpful with discussing the thought of exploring new opportunities as well the ADK process in general. I enjoy providing valuable feedback and opinions on candidate-to-job matches, work experience and suggested next steps.
My realistic approach draws from my own experiences as an executive level leader in aviation and City government plus my 5 plus years as a recruiter with ADK.  Being former USAF, I also bring a unique perspective and can provide valuable content to those in the military trying to make the transition to civilian airport management.
Finding a work-life balance is important for all of us. With that in mind, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, outdoor sports, traveling and RV camping.

There is nothing more satisfying than mentoring a colleague and seeing them improve and become more successful in their career. I and everyone in the industry have at one time had someone give us advice, guidance and assistance that made a difference and I will never forget that.
When I’m not working you will find me outdoors doing anything except snow skiing (It’s a long story). Hiking, Stand Up Paddle Boarding, Walking, Pickle Ball, beaches, exploring parks and trails, air and car shows and hanging out with my adult sons.

Every conversation with your consultant will assist your consultant in getting to know you better and learning your communication style. Your consultation sessions will give you opportunities to discuss topics that are on your mind or of concern and to get feedback or advice along the way. You will receive feedback throughout your program on our proven assessment tools that will reinforce your professional growth commitment.

We have a talented and experienced team of consultants to choose from.

Our program is based on our own decades of best practices gleaned from our own training and direct experience working with candidates and clients. Change does not happen overnight. Our program has important elements of discovery/assessment, feedback/counseling/advice, practice/training, and accountability. The consultation fees for this program are discounted as a package. The program may be terminated by either party with a 2 week written notice. ADK will refund remaining unused portions of consulting fees and any fees for unused assessment tools.

ADK does not guarantee placement of any person who uses our programs. Our mission is to elevate professional growth, team building, leadership and organizational efficiencies. Going through our consulting programs does not guarantee success or placements for opportunities sought by individuals.

We understand busy schedules and respect much needed vacation time. We also know that the unexpected happens that no one can foresee. We will work with you to coordinate calendars and accommodate your schedule.

We will send you reminders before our meetings. However, we know that last minute urgencies happen. We will work with you to schedule another appointment.

Let your consultant know if you have an urgency to talk to someone as soon as possible. Your consultant will try to accommodate you, and depending on the situation, will call on one of our other consultants to assist your urgent need.

We will discuss where you are at the end of your Jump Start Professional Growth Program with a recap, by looking in the rear view mirror of where we started your journey and the milestones along the way. Our goal for you is that you look back and see personal and professional growth that makes a positive difference in your work and life in general and are energized and excited about tomorrow. Let us know if you want a follow-on program tailored to you.
