Bio

Marlene has successfully advised organizations and professionals at all levels of experience for over 25 years. She has worked directly with senior hiring executives across a variety of industries, understands the demands of many different roles and the paths that lead to successful careers in global and domestic organizations.

Marlene has conducted thousands of interviews and believes that the critical element of a leadership challenge, job search or a career transition involves setting clear goals. Her coaching process is specific to every individual and may include: communication and technical skills assessment; resume, cover letter, linked-in profile, and social media review; identifying targets for a lateral move or transition; effective networking tools, interviewing skills, and compensation negotiation techniques.

Having experienced leadership and management challenges across several organizations and made a successful career transition herself, Marlene will encourage clients to focus on a healthy work/life balance and will help them achieve that!

FAQ
Describe your coaching style.

I listen and provide feedback and tools to move forward and achieve goals. Very hands-on and positive “can do” approach.

Describe your experience working with experienced managers

I have worked with Managers in investment banks and asset management firms at all levels and supported them through promotions, onboarding challenges, and downsizing responsibilities. I have also worked with Managers in RE firms, Healthcare organizations, and several non-profits.

Describe your experience working with individual contributors or others, not in people manager roles.

Measuring one’s own performance within set expectations is critical. Time management/commitment to results/communicating successes.

Describe your experience working with new managers.

I’ve worked with new managers at all levels to determine how they can be most effective. As a recruiter I have followed up with my candidates once they start in their new roles and I work with them to be strong managers.
