Marina

Marina is a certified career and leadership coach who supports people creating changes for themselves or their organizations.
Her career experiences delivering change management activities, training and coaching have prepared her well to work with individuals or to facilitate effective group events and learning experiences. 

Coaching

You are the expert on your life and career. But when you work with a coach, you create a partnership that helps you to better see and define your challenges and achieve your goals. 

Marina follows a process guiding you to make your own decisions. She asks lots of questions – and listens more than talks. The focus is most on the future, not the past, and she’ll provide resources or assessments if you decide you need them.

Leader/Team Development

There is science behind the development of strong teams and leaders.

​​Let Marina share with you some of those fundamentals and help you to better connect with people and to grow your knowledge and skills.
​
The steps we will take in our work together will be to “assess, explore, select and take actions” toward improvement.

​

Facilitation/Learning

• Leadership/team development
• Career planning and development
• Communications: interpersonal, public speaking, writing
• Conflict prevention and resolution
• Change management 
• Meeting facilitation/ presentation skills

Steve

​As an information technology management consultant, Steve describes himself as “a people person with a business degree who’s always worked in IT.” When first managing IT professionals, he received feedback from them that he was “too strategic… not technical enough.” At the same time, a business mentor told him to be careful he wasn’t “too technical.” He’s been aiming ever since for the sweet spot as a translator between IT and business leaders. He consistently hears that he’s been effective in helping business leaders implement technology to achieve strategy. 

Technology Strategy

Steve believes technology should support business strategy and not be implemented just for technology's sake.

A business strategy and defining and solving business problems must be integrated with technology strategies.

​He's skilled at developing and presenting strategic technology directions and recommendations to business leaders.

Managing Innovators

Fostering strong relationships between customers and innovators has been the key to Steve's success as a leader.

Coaching both individuals and teams enabled him to become known as a turnaround leader for struggling teams.
