This is the story of a right-sized business designed to help people uncover their Natural Talents and discover work that brings meaning to their careers and to our world.
A surprising start
It was 2008 at the start of a worldwide financial crisis. Tim Mooney was working as director of admissions for a university in the Pacific Northwest. Helping adult students, he discovered right away that most people don’t know what they want to be (or do) once they are grown up. They look to colleges or universities to help them figure it out, but that is too much to expect from an academic experience.
There had to be something better
By 2010, Tim went on a quest to find something to help. It was part of his own mid-career journey to adjust work direction. What he found was the exact tools he needed to identify his Natural Talents. And he saw how to use them to figure out a career path that fit just right.
That’s when Tim acquired the licenses to offer those same tools which helped him. Then, things got really interesting as he started coaching teammates, coworkers, and adult students under the radar. Something really clicked.
A solution is born
In 2013, Natural Talent Careers opened to help grown-ups figure out their Natural Talents and use them to plot a course for their careers. Now, we offer discovery tools and coaching services to empower career seekers – no matter the location, regardless of work experience. Soon, there will be live events in person and online.

A Note from Tim
Thanks for pausing here. I hope you find what you are looking for within these pages.
I started this business to share the lessons learned from my own career adventures. As I came across people struggling with direction, my reaction was to say, ‘Have you thought about X?’ or ‘You really need to check this out!’
My goal is to help you gain confidence in a career path that fits just right. I want to empower you to avoid wildly guessing or following someone else’s plan for their lives.
