Coaching
What is coaching?
Coaching is a thought-provoking and creative partnership that inspires and empowers clients to realize their full personal and professional potential. You are in the right spot if any of the following scenarios resonate with you:
You’re curious about what it would take to be happier or more impactful, but you’re fearful of making a decision you’ll regret, or scared to lose benefits you’ve worked hard for
You’ve had at least 5-10 years of work experience and even though you’ve accomplished a lot, you feel a bit stuck, or like something is missing (whether you know what “it” is or not)
You’d like to make a change, but you’re not sure how to do so in a way that feels good, rather than completely terrifying and overwhelming
You’re accustomed to making career decisions based on what you’re capable of, rather than what you truly want and value
You feel like you’re not getting the most from yourself in your current role, or you’re being under-utilized
Plus Marc coaching programs enable leaders to rise above the noise of judgment and competing priorities in order to clarify goals, manage blocks, and shift careers and lives from good to great—and in many cases, from great to optimal. During our partnership, you’ll utilize strategies to realize your optimal mix of impact and happiness based on who you are, how you want to feel, and what you’re trying to accomplish.
“I was pleasantly surprised with the results I got out of the program. Came into it thinking that I had most of this self-improvement stuff figured out and that I needed to just “put in the work” to reach my goals. Came out of it realizing that there is much more to it than that, and addressing a couple of my blockers feels like a weight off of my shoulders.”
“My most valuable takeaway? I can do little things to improve areas of dissatisfaction—I don’t need to ‘fix’ things completely or aim for a total shift. I can move the needle slightly, slowly, and surely. This is more manageable, more realistic, and far less stressful.”
“This program allowed me to get to know myself better. I have a deeper understanding of my own habits and have fully acknowledged that I tend to be the one holding myself back. Marc helped me identify my strengths and worked with me to create an action plan utilizing them to reach my goals.”
