Jonathan Kung

I help professionals in Malaysia navigate through career transitions and career disruptions by helping them find their ideal career path that aligns with their Talents, Passions, Energisers, and Purpose.

After experiencing my own career pivot from engineering to consulting, and then from being laid off to finding my dream job, I understand firsthand the challenges, uncertainties, and opportunities that come with career reinvention.

My journey taught me that successful transitions require more than just updating a resume and applying for jobs—they demand a deep understanding of your unique strengths and authentic motivations.

Currently working as a full-time management consultant at Korn Ferry, this is my passion project - one that I hope can help make a difference to individuals in need of career transition guidance and support.

About Me

My Approach

My methodology involves first understanding your TPEP Profile to get a clear picture of what you're good at, what you're energised by, and what gives you a sense of purpose:

• Talents that make you outstanding at what you do

• Passions that will make work not feel like work

• Energisers that will make you feel energised at work

• Purpose that will give you a sense of fulfilment in your work

Then, and only then, will we connect your unique TPEP Profile to potential career paths and roles that will be the best fit for you:

1. Find the ideal career paths for you based on your unique TPMP profile

2. Build confidence to overcome the psychological barriers of career change or loss of identity due to being laid off

3. Develop a step-by-step action plan that navigates the Malaysian job market and gets you referred to and noticed by your ideal companies

Why Finding Your Ideal Career Matters

In Malaysia's rapidly evolving job market, professionals like you and I often find ourselves at a career crossroads—whether due to industry disruption, organisational restructuring, or personal desire for more fulfilling work.

Are you one of them? I know I was.

But, the unfortunate truth is that most people make career decisions based on limited information or external expectations rather than proper self-awareness and reflection on their purpose, motivations and strengths.

I've personally experienced how amazing it is to find your ideal career—I found mine at the age of 35! When your work feels energising and resonates with your purpose and talents, you can unlock new levels of performance and career satisfaction.

So, please don't waste any more time in a career you dislike or a job where you are just going through the motions.

You owe it to yourself to find your ideal career path where you can say—hand on heart—that you love your job. I want that for you, and I want to help you get there.

Who I Work With

My clients include:

• Mid-career professionals seeking more meaningful and fulfilling work

• Individuals facing unexpected job loss or organisational restructuring

• Professionals returning to the workforce after extended breaks

• Executives contemplating significant career pivots

Having assessed and developed hundreds of leaders across various industries in Malaysia, I bring unique insights into local market dynamics while applying global best practices in career development.

Let's transform your career transition from a stressful and confusing disruption into an opportunity to reset your career in a way that embraces your unique talents and aspirations.
