Are you sick of your job? Do you want fulfilling work? I'm a career strategist and executive coach who helps people identify, get, keep, and excel in their "right fit" work. I also am an organizational development consultant specializing in Strategic Planning, Leadership Team Building, and Board Development - helping organizations grow and fulfill their mission and vision! Your "right fit" work is what you love to do, do really well, and want to do again. When you have your "right fit" work, I coach you to be more effective. I can help you build your new business if you decide that working for yourself is your "right fit." My coaching is based on my 30+ years experience in senior leadership positions in NYC, 12 of them as CEO of 2 major non-profits and 4 as a leader in workforce development. ► I've coached many hundreds of people to use their talents and passions at work & make career transitions. ► My years in workforce development give me in-depth knowledge of what employers want. ► I bring a marketing perspective to the art of job search, the same principles I used to raise more than $100 million, primarily using direct response vehicles. The response we get is "we need to interview them!" Through research and experience, I developed a system that works to position job seekers to get their "right fit" job. I work with you to identify your core value proposition and then create the marketing documents (aka resume, brochure, website copy, marketing plan, LinkedIn profile) that position you to get your 'right fit' work. I am your cheerleader, editor & support during your search. ► Career Planning ► Core Value Proposition ► Resume Development ► Interview Preparation ► LinkedIn Profile Optimization ► Executive Coaching ► Promotion Game Plan ► Leadership Development If you want to connect with me on LinkedIn, please give me a succinct reason or I may not accept.

► Are you a purpose-driven leader whose organization is losing staff? ► Do you wish your organization could attract AND retain great people? ► Do you want to build and retain an inclusive, high-functioning team? The Great Resignation has exposed one big reason as a huge cause of people’s dissatisfaction with work:. Toxic workplaces. It’s a harsh term. But it’s a reality for too many people. Yes, more money is one reason people leave. But a root cause is unhappiness with their manager or with the organization’s culture. An MIT Sloan study found that a toxic corporate culture is the single best predictor of which companies suffered from high attrition in the first six months of the Great Resignation in 2021. You can make your organization a place where people would come and do the work for free! Your work environment can be that fun, engaging, fulfilling, and rewarding. You know you want this yourself. And you can do it! It is possible. How do I know? I did it, and I’ve helped other leaders do it. I created a “workplace of choice” where people loved coming to work – and so did I. As a direct result, our organization grew exponentially and so did our impact. We fulfilled our mission extremely well, and had a huge impact – more than we imagined possible. During my 15-year coaching business, I’ve coached new Executive Directors, and other top leaders to move from feeling stressed to being balanced and successful. To become leaders who build cultures where staff feel respected and trusted, and are fully engaged in their work. I also help leaders strengthen their organizations through: ► strategic planning ► leadership team-building ► Board development

Facilitated development of a community coalition focused on fostering a "culture of health" in the city of Orange, NJ. The 4 year initiative was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Orange was one of 10 low-income communities in New Jersey selected as the initial group to develop a new approach to improving health outcomes, based on building coalitions that involve all sectors of the community. RWJF brought in the Center for Creative Leadership to teach core teams from each community the methods of Boundary-Spanning Leadership in order to provide the tools for building lasting coalitions based on shared Direction, Alignment and Commitment. As Community Coach, my role was to assist the coalition to use the Boundary-Spanning Leadership tools. As strategic planning consultant, I facilitated the development and implementation of a 3 year "Blueprint for Action" to build the culture of health.
