John J. Liptak serves as the Associate Director of Experiential Learning & Career Development and adjunct instructor in the Counselor Education Department at Radford University. He has worked in counseling since 1990 in different settings (prisons, mental health facilities, higher education).
His contributions to career counseling focus on what he refers to as Emotional Intelligence (EI). Liptak believes that an important component of helping young adults successfully transition from training and educational settings into the workforce is helping them develop the emotional intelligence skills necessary to succeed in the workforce. Some of the emotional intelligence skills Liptak has written on include: coping skills, anger management strategies, social skills, and stress management. He has also developed a number of job search assessments used by career counselors to assist clients with their occupational planning. His career development contributions through EI research and publishing have taken place over about the last decade.
