John J. Doherty is a recognized pioneer and visionary in the field of transition, with more than 25 years of leadership in this highly competitive field. He wrote The Ultimate Job Guide when he first identified the need for his services to corporations and their executives in the 1970’s, many years before such services became popular and necessary.
Doherty is CEO of Doherty International, Inc., which he formed in 2000, to provide employee transition planning and counseling plus related services. Prior to that he served as chairman and CEO of an internationally ranked consulting firm. He serves on the board of advisors of Options Unlimited, a retirement counseling firm, and for a decade was on the board of advisors of Mercy Hospital and Medical Center. He is a senior member of the Chicago Club and the Philadelphia Union League Club.
Currently Doherty is Executive Director, on sabbatical, of the Career Networking Business Ministry at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Glenview, Illinois. This group ministry was founded on the premise that mutual networking represents the key to launching a new career and expanding business opportunities. The primary focus of the ministry is to accelerate a participant’s re-entry into a very challenging job market.
