Troy Heiner

​

After 37 years with the federal government, Troy Heiner wasn’t content to simply retire—he wanted to make an impact. Over the course of his career, he worked across three intelligence agencies, shifting roles every few years, gaining expertise in multiple disciplines. In his final years, he focused on professional development, leading hiring for mission-critical roles and coordinating internship programs. This experience gave him a unique perspective on career growth, hiring trends, and the challenges professionals face when trying to advance.

​

But when it was time for his own career transition, Troy realized how difficult it was to navigate change. Seeking guidance from an executive coach, he uncovered his next calling: helping others break through career stagnation. He founded TFH Transformations, LLC, a firm dedicated to career coaching, business strategy, and networking, with a focus on helping midlevel professionals transition from technical experts to technical leaders.

​

Troy’s approach is built on a structured four-step system that simplifies the job search process, helping professionals bypass outdated methods and take control of their careers.

​

1. Define the Ideal Job – Instead of applying aimlessly, professionals learn to identify what they truly want and strategically seek opportunities that align with their skills, strengths, and long-term goals.

2. Build a Personal Brand – A resume isn’t enough in today’s competitive market. Troy teaches professionals how to position themselves as industry leaders, creating a strong presence that attracts the right opportunities.

3. Bypass Gatekeepers – AI-driven hiring systems and traditional job applications can be barriers to success. Troy helps clients access decision-makers directly, using targeted networking and strategic positioning.

4. Master the Transition – Landing the job is just the beginning. Troy prepares his clients to excel in interviews, secure offers, and integrate seamlessly into their new roles during the critical first 90 days.

​

“The job market has evolved, with AI, automation, and shifting hiring practices making it harder than ever to stand out,” Troy shares. “Job searching has become a full-time job itself, and professionals juggling demanding careers often lack the time to navigate it effectively. Many struggle with translating their technical skills into leadership roles, identifying real opportunities versus time-wasters, and building the right professional network. Our system provides a clear roadmap to overcoming these challenges, helping clients take control of their careers without having to become job-seeking experts themselves.”

​

Beyond career coaching, Troy also helps fellow career coaches, entrepreneurs and small business owners through his book, The Talent Industry Profit Playbook and The Business Coaching Academy, where he teaches strategies that help solopreneurs increase their earnings while working smarter. Through The Opportunity Connector, he guides professionals in building meaningful relationships that lead to career growth.

​

Troy’s expertise has earned him recognition in Marquis Who’s Who in Executive Coaching and Millennium. His upcoming book, Pinnacle Pivot, explores pivotal moments in his career and provides strategies for professionals looking to make bold career moves.

​

Through TFH Transformations, Troy is not just helping people find jobs—he’s giving them the tools to reshape their careers, achieve leadership roles, and build lasting success in an ever-changing job market.
