Here it is, the 3rd day of my gratefulness quest. Only, I’m not seeking them, but showing my gratitude! Yvette Boone Green is a special woman. She and I have known each other about 12-13 years. See, we talk frequently and I feel as if we’ve been friends always, you know? She’s bright, articulate and, like so many midlife women, she, too, is in transition. She loves what she does…She is planning to attend Law School part-time as well as continue working,doing what she loves! I so admire her! We met when I was Career Adviser and, she, a client/student.
Well, we coach each other, now. She’s been a longtime coaching friend/client. You can always learn from your clients! I hope she’s learned from me, too…
Hoping she can eke out time to physically have a coffee break. If not, we’ll meet up on SKYPE or Google Hangout? I’ll let you know when I’ve got it down and talk intelligently about Google’s hangouts.
Well, this is my 3rd Gratitude Day. Who do you admire-past or present? Think why you chose that person. Do you have those traits? Admire them? Let me know what thoughts arise…
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.
