I get my best ideas while tandem bicycling (Bicycle built for two). Besides my coaching, my passion for life is tandemming. Been riding together with my husband for 13 years. Going to a rally-about 32 tandems-that’s 64 or so people, we leave Thurs & come back late Sun night.
Off to Henderson, NC.
Why tell you this in a blog dealing with Transitions? Because tandems can be a metaphor for change. And can be one you hadn’t thought of-blinders on to other ideas. Let’s examine this closer… You shift gears-have goals(get to end!) and an action plan with easy to follow steps that break it up into smaller parts-(cues-mini-directions turn right, go straight 2 miles…) contact 3 companies, identify 3 things you enjoy doing…list 5 employers to include with job descriptions on your resume…
There are countless ways to think about a Transition-by “thinking outside the box” you get out of your own head. You take off the blinders & look at it through new eyes.
Transition is a time of change, a shifting of gears in life’s journey…
Have you changed gears? if not. Would you want to?
In Abundance!

About transitionchick
Having literally reinvented her career (and redefined her goals and herself) many times over, Marcia Merrill has definitely earned the title of being known as the Transitions Chick!
Before she answered her true calling, namely coaching, she was a Staff Analyst for a consulting company; a Resource librarian; and taught English, Spanish composition, and English as a second language in all levels of schools, from elementary through to doing substitute teaching during her graduate schooling.
Her fervent desire to continually learn and explore different avenues led her to obtain two Masters degrees, the first in Bilingual/Bicultural Education and Instructional Systems Development from the University of Maryland, and the second in Counseling Psychology from Loyola College, Maryland.
Marcia draws upon not only her solid academic background and her 25+ years as a Career Counselor/Coach, but also her own personal transitions that she has weathered and emerged from victoriously. She definitely ‘walks the walk and talks the talk’ and her primary objective is to help women achieve the level of contentment and success they desire from their life and their career or business. Whether it’s transitioning from an entry level position to an executive manager, changing jobs to realize their hopes and dreams, to learning how to cope with the setbacks that life in general sometimes throws at us, Marcia always applies her caring and creative problem-solving skills to her clients.
Her mission statement, “Fall in love with your LIFE & your work (and in that order!)” shows how Marcia prioritizes her life, and her clients easily achieve the same balance in their lives from her superb coaching skills.
