Dylan Cornelius Coaching & Consulting

Hi, I’m Dylan Cornelius.

Dylan Cornelius

Execute your personal strategy with help from Dylan Cornelius.

I help mid-career professionals, managers, knowledge workers, new grads, and entrepreneur:

  1. Beat their competition in the employment market and beyond.
  2. Locate or create the professional role that brings them their greatest satisfaction and reward.
  3. Create the lifestyle that serves them best, as they define it.

I do this by helping them prioritize and clarify, then execute their strategic plans.

Work with Dylan Cornelius and free yourself from indifferent companies, insensitive managers, dysfunctional teams, and unaccountable teammates

So unfulfilled at work. A bored young businessman seated at his desk.

😔💼  Half of people are unhappy at work. 😔💼

2/3 of employees are disinterested or indifferent in their work and workplace.

–Gallup Research

“Workers stay in unsatisfying jobs or industries due to low confidence and/or the challenge of breaking out of a career rut.”

–Moneypenny

Work with Dylan Cornelius

“I think people who don’t know what to do next with their career or feel stuck, I think they would immensely benefit from a Career Acceleration Course and session with Dylan.”

–George M., Project Manager

“Dylan uses a really holistic approach to goal orientation. I find it a very intense process and I’m saying that in a really great way. I really like it.”

–Omario K., Attorney and Professor

“If I had not gone through this process, and Dylan hadn’t pushed me to really look at what I wanted to do, and to start to do that… So, now my career is completely different from when I started with Dylan, and I’m really enjoying it. I think this is probably a career that I’m working harder than I ever had, but I’m also happier than I’ve ever been, working in this career.”

–Karen W., Community Manager and former Customer Success Manager

Here’s why Dylan Cornelius knows how to help you

I was on the phone with my brother, telling him how unhappy I was in my marriage.

“Do something about it or quit complaining”, he said. “It’s been five years.”

“Five years?!” I asked. “You must be mistaken. No way.”

“Oh, yes.”, he said. “Remember that first time you said you were unhappy? That was five years ago.”

He told me a story that sounded vaguely familiar. At first, it didn’t register, but then I realized it was my story. It had happened in my life — to me.

…and when I told him that earlier story, I’d been sitting in that same green mini-van, in front of that same red brick house next to the lake, after a day at that same job.

“Oh my gosh!”, I thought back to that time. “It has been five years!”

…and that job wasn’t a bed of roses either. I’d been passed over for promotions four times in three years, as I repeatedly watched my peers promoted to be my boss.

Dylan Cornelius struggled on his own for a long time

At the same time, my wife and I were miserable together…

So I did what any multiple-degree holding Top-20 university-educated professional would do: I took more classes and read more books.

But that didn’t solve my problems.

Next, I hired therapists, counselors, coaches, doctors, attorneys, and nutritionists.

I participated in 12-step programs, Toastmasters, Landmark Worldwide, and Weight Watchers.

Eventually, I saw the problem. Through decades of focus on achievement and personal development, I hadn’t been taking care of the people in my life, at home or work, least of all myself.

Dylan Cornelius created the “Career Acceleration Roadmap”

When I began focusing on the quality of my relationships and taking care of people, my life turned around.

Now, rather than being passed over for promotions and laid off, I’m picked to lead teams, and I’m routinely acknowledged for the value I provide to people and organizations.

Though my marriage didn’t survive, I met Lori, a fantastic woman who trained me for my first 2 marathons. I lost 50 pounds, and now I do marathons and triathlons for fun.

When I began focusing on building and sustaining teams, just as I’d done at work and trained to do in graduate school, I got my allergies and autoimmunity under control, and I began receiving awards for my running results.

Lori and I ride a tandem bike on week-long tours. If there’s anything that will drive a relationship to its inevitable outcome, it’s tandem cycling and canoeing: our relationship works.

Soon we’ll be doing month-long tours and hikes.

Through all those courses and professional services, including over a thousand hours of coaching and related training, I learned the things that made the difference for me, and I created a curriculum anyone can follow that will enable anyone to have experience the same positive, life-changing results.

I’ve called it the “Career Acceleration Roadmap.”

The “Career Acceleration Roadmap” is for everyone

I’ve committed to creating a world that works for everyone, by helping everyone apply the “Career Acceleration Roadmap” in their own lives and careers:

  1. Clarify your purpose in life.
  2. Master your mindset and self-talk.
  3. Upgrade your relationships, teamwork, and leadership skills.

Dylan Cornelius is in for the long haul

When I’m not creating or executing a plan, I’m on a road or trail in preparation for a cycling tour, hike, or endurance race. Usually, those tours, hikes, and races involve my Honey Bunny, Lori.

Introduce yourself, and let’s exchange stories!

Dylan Cornelius Personal Vision

I envision a world that works for everyone, everywhere, with no one and nothing left out.
