Career Coach New Jersey: Career & Business Coaching with Steven Toss

Most career coaches in New Jersey are certified through a coaching program and little else. Steven Toss spent more than 30 years in Fortune 500 executive leadership, making the hiring, promotion, and restructuring decisions his clients are now trying to navigate from the other side, before he became a certified coach.

That experience shapes every engagement at Pinnacle Coaching & Consulting: executive-level strategy, practical action, real accountability, and enough empathy to make the accountability stick.

Pinnacle works most closely with professionals and business owners in Monmouth and Middlesex County, including Red Bank, Freehold, Middletown, Holmdel, Asbury Park, New Brunswick, Edison, Woodbridge, and Piscataway, and with clients anywhere in New Jersey through in-person or virtual coaching.

Whether you're navigating a career transition, growing a business past its current plateau, or stepping into a leadership role for the first time, Pinnacle provides the structure, strategy, and accountability to move forward with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you offer career coaching in New Jersey?
    Yes. Pinnacle Coaching & Consulting works with professionals and business owners throughout New Jersey, with a concentration of clients in Monmouth and Middlesex County. Sessions are held virtually, so your exact town isn't a barrier to getting started.
  • What's the difference between career coaching and business coaching?
    Career coaching is built for individuals navigating their own career: advancement, transitions, negotiations, executive presence. Business coaching is for founders, owners, and leaders trying to grow or fix something inside their company. Some clients need both, and Pinnacle scopes engagements around whichever applies to you.
  • Do I need to meet in person, or is coaching available virtually?
    Most Pinnacle clients work entirely over video call, including people who could drive in if they wanted to. In-person sessions can be arranged for local clients in Monmouth or Middlesex County who prefer it, but it's never required.
  • How is Pinnacle different from other career coaches in New Jersey?
    Most career coaches in New Jersey are certified through a coaching program alone. Steven Toss spent 30+ years in Fortune 500 executive leadership, making hiring, promotion, and restructuring decisions, before he became a certified coach. The coaching is grounded in that experience, not just a framework.
  • What industries does Pinnacle work with in New Jersey?
    Pinnacle works with professionals across the industries that drive New Jersey's economy: finance, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, technology, real estate, and professional services. Whether you're a mid-level manager in pharma, a financial advisor looking to move up, or a tech professional pivoting into a new role, the coaching process is built around your specific industry, goals, and timeline.
