Maribeth T. Kraus - Past President (2014 – 2016)

You're at a crossroads. Your job is no longer fulfilling. You're not happy with your opportunities for advancement. You have the nagging sense that you're meant to do something different but don't know where to begin.

Don't go it alone.

I can be your partner in progress. Using proven techniques and tools, together we will:

• Break through the roadblocks preventing you from achieving career satisfaction.
• Identify your core values and strengths.
• Establish short-term and long-term goals.
• Map a pathway to achieving those goals.

The bedrock of my company is my 25-year senior management career at various not-for-profit organizations. Out of this experience, along with a broad education in coaching, I developed strategies that help people gain clarity about their values, goals and priorities.

I received Professional Certificates in Coaching and Career Planning and Development from New York University and an M.A. in Social and Organizational Behavior from George Washington University in DC.

I welcome the opportunity to help you have a more gratifying and successful life, both personally and professionally.

Contact me for a 20-minute no-obligation coaching session to discover how I can offer you a way forward.

Linda Lombardo

Creative Journey Coaching

A Certified Professional Co-Active Coach through The Coaches Training Institute since 2001, my experience includes 20 plus years within high-profile organizations implementing and facilitating management and leadership development programs, creating leaders and change agents to develop cultures of communication and engagement.

516-238-0059

My specialty around life story coaching uses the neuroscience of behavior, discovering and developing the leader’s voice for the sake of positively impacting the bottom line, while building leadership talent and legacy. I have completed over 500 hours of coach training with the Coaches Training Institute and hold professional memberships with the American Society for Training and Development, the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Long Island Coaching Alliance. My training experience includes Achieve Global’s Leadership suite of programs, The OZ Principle, Mission Driven Interviewing and Ken Blanchard’s Situational Leadership II.

I coach the creative spirit in leaders who want their voices heard; who choose to make a difference in their own lives and the lives of others, for the earth and all its creatures. My clients want "big" for themselves, in service of something bigger than themselves.

Together, we take a hero's journey, discovering life's passion and purpose, revealing the quest that takes each of us on the creative journey of our lifetime!

I am a muse, and a mirror for my client's brilliance, bringing awareness and consciousness to its full expression, trusting that the outcome will be exactly what it is suppose to be, and helping my clients stay on track until their deepest expression of self is realized.

I received my Certified Professional Co-Active Coach certification from the Coaches Training Institute in 2002 and struggled to find my own life's purpose for years, partly because I am filled with so much passion about so many things. No surprise, I became certified as a Renaissance Soul Coach, working with coach and mentor, Margaret Lobenstein, who wrote the book, The Renaissance Soul. I am also certified in the Neuroscience of Story, designed to help us recognize the old stories that no longer serve us, and create new stories that align with our vision and values. I am a graduate of CTI's Leadership Program, from which The Voice of Leadership Radio Network was born as my quest to amplify the voices of leaders co-creating the next, sustainable chapter of humanity's evolution.
