How We Do It

One-On-One Consultation

Marilyn McSweeney and Gordon Miller offer team coaching through weekly conferences calls. As Topic Matter Specialists with years of research and experience, we provide our opinions and direction on how to use your strengths, skills and passions to benefit your career, how to identify best industries, companies and positions to maximize your success, and how to form a game plan to achieve your career goals.

After an initial assessment to analyze your situation and to determine mutual fit, we will provide a proposal to present what we feel is necessary to reach your goals. Please contact us for a compliment 30-minute consultation.

Corporate Coaching

Our business world is in a state-of-flux. Do all your managers and key employees know how to quickly adapt to our down economy and it’s impact on your results?

Our corporate coaching programs help professionals bridge the chasm between what they are being asked to do and what they have been trained to do. Working one-on-one with designated individuals, the primary goals are: (1) determining what is stopping the professional from performing at a maximum level (2) aligning their performance with company goals.

All of our coaching is specific to the individual. We offer clearly defined, measurable objectives and outcomes.

Please contact us to learn more on how we can help your people be the best they can be.

We will be offering several monthly topic-specific Webinars to assist those in career transition or desiring career advancement. Please check “Workshops and Webinars” for topics, dates and times.
