John Krumboltz was always open to new experiences but his inability to choose a career frustrated him and led him into a lifetime of studying about career counseling. During his time playing tennis in college, his coach persuaded him to become a Psychology major and that led him on the path to career counseling.
: It is in the client's best interest to create and transform unplanned events into new opportunities for growth.
