More about Marc

My person-focused orientation helps individuals, teams, and organizations optimize performance, increase engagement, and create extraordinary workplaces. I provide services such as executive and leadership coaching; selection, development, and high potential assessments; survey design and evaluation; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consultation, as well as strategic activities including transition consulting, conflict resolution, retreat facilitation, strategic planning, and, organizational redesign. I possess particular interest and expertise in helping ownership groups, leadership teams, and boards of directors connect, clarify, and commit to one another and the common interests of the organization, particularly during times of transition, e.g., mergers, acquisitions, and downsizing. I provide high-touch personal service to align mission, vision, values, financial goals, and strategy, with every organization’s most valuable assets, i.e., people, to supercharge growth and development.
