Our coaches
The transitions triggered by a new hire are exhilarating—and can also be challenging. From learning how to fit in with a new culture to growing as a leader, our candidates want what our clients want—to make the most of new opportunities and to help their organizations succeed.
Executive coaches can help transform the transition experience of a new hire event into a learning opportunity that fosters growth for both the executive and the hiring organization. That’s why we’ve partnered with two professional coaches whose work expressly facilitates both personal and organizational changes. We have known each of them in their prior professional lives and have referred clients to them with great success.
Each comes with extensive experience and extraordinary talents. Their approaches vary, and their credentials are impressive. We recommend them highly.
Don’t hesitate to contact any of us to discuss your interest, to help you assess your needs, or to put you in contact with one of our coaches.
