Since participating in Momentum’s Executive Edge, I’m sleeping better and my productivity is through the roof! My listening has shifted. It’s actually made holding people to account a lot easier. I find I am able to spot the underlying issues and deal with them. I have found that my internal voice is much quieter now, so it’s created a capacity to focus and get things done. With my brain not going all the time, I am finding it easier to relax. I have definitely shifted from feeling victimized to a real place of accountability. It has been liberating!

My work with Marlene Clark and the Momentum staff has not only transformed my business, but my life as well. As a leader in my organization, I don’t get the personal performance feedback that people who have supervisors often receive. Marlene helps me look at my strengths and weaknesses, and together we develop a strategy for action to make positive change…. I’ve learned that the work I do has a positive and enduring ripple effect through my staff.… I am convinced that this type of consulting is no longer a ‘nice to have’ for executives, but a ‘need to have.’ …I’ve learned how to be a better communicator as an employer, a wife, a mother and a friend. There is no dollar value you can put on this. It has been a priceless and life changing experience for me which I would highly recommend.

I was blown away by the results from Marlene. It was so much more than I expected. Having an objective party made all the difference in addressing the team dynamic with their manager. One huge take-away was the trust that got established. This has been so valuable, since trust can be hard to earn, even after many years.
