“This type of consulting is no longer a ‘nice to have’ for executives, but a ‘need to have.’”

— Nancy Beesley: Chief Marketing Officer, HCB Health

My work with Marlene Clark and the Momentum staff has transformed my business and my life. 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, which I would highly recommend.

“I became a CEO of an international company with Craig’s help.”

— Michael Winship: Retired Mining CEO

Craig Clark has provided me with invaluable coaching on leadership and interpersonal skills over many years. I achieved my goal of becoming a CEO of an international company with Craig's help. 

More importantly, Craig was instrumental in assisting me in strengthening my relationships with my family and friends.  Thank you, Craig!

“My experience with Martha Lynn was life-changing. ”

— Cammie Klier: C.P.B.D, Founder, Custom Design Services

In 3 years’ time, Martha Lynn coached and consulted with me for my business and for me personally. I am a successful small business owner managing every aspect of my business and taking care of my family with overlapping business and family hours since I work from home. My experience with Martha Lynn was life changing. In a short amount of time, she helped me to understand my self, why I do things and found ways to identify the actions that I do that both help and hinder my successes. As a person, I developed a deeper understanding of how I can impact my life toward success and to this day, 7 years later, I still benefit from her coaching. Momentum Consulting brilliantly knows how to bring out the best in each individual.

“my income tripled in Five months.”

— Christian Okonsky: CEO, KLD Energy Technologies

“When I began working with Brett in 2008, I had a lofty goal to triple my income in 6 months. By way of our weekly coaching calls, I began to notice certain aspects of my communication and listening that were adversely affecting my business without me even knowing it. As a result, these discoveries helped my income triple in 5 months. Furthermore, during that period, Brett recognized a single customer service issue involving a client who had discontinued an order with my company. I had overlooked the situation, but with Brett’s coaching, I had one brief conversation with the client, restored the relationship and put $5,000 of profit in my pocket. The return on my investment is undeniable, and I continue to hold Brett as a valuable resource in how I conduct myself as a business owner.”

“They’ve been my secret weapon for years.”

— Tina Schweiger: Principal, Director of Digital Media, Ascend Marketing

Momentum Consulting has been my secret weapon for years. There are many options when it comes to improving your performance, both personally and professionally. I’ve found that working with Momentum can turn a drive for improvement into results in a way that’s faster and more transformational than others.

“the work continues to be useful, daily.”

— J. Michael Bown: Senior Performance Consultant International SEMATECH

I was pleased to provide an opportunity for Momentum to pilot a new training at International SEMATECH that focused on coaching and the power of questions in that context. The two-day experience was extraordinary for all of the participants, including me. It earned top ratings from all present. The work was thoughtful, clear and, most important, useful. It continues to be useful daily. My own satisfied clients are evidence of that. I recommend this experienced, resourceful and dedicated company without qualifications.

“achieved my goal of promotion to Vice President.”

— Karolina Bradt: CEO, Skout Organic

I had the pleasure of working with Tracey as my executive coach. I found the experience very enriching, as she was very supportive throughout the process. As we began the journey, we found key areas of opportunity for my development, set a plan in motion, and as a result, I achieved my goal of promotion to Vice President of our company’s entire global supply chain. This evidence is proof that her insight led to the right professional outcome for me. As a result, I can highly recommend Tracey to anyone who is looking for keen individual insights and a pathway to achieve their personal goals.

“Momentum’s approach to authentic and meaningful culture was transformational.”

- Susan Redford: Director, Texas Association of Counties

Before our leadership team started working with Momentum, our biggest challenge was trust, communication and alignment. We were each operating in our own world and day-to-day operations and made decisions without considering the impacts on the entire enterprise. After meeting with Momentum, all our pain points were identified, addressed and discussed. We made commitments to our partnership, which means we stood for each other’s success. Momentum’s approach to helping us build an authentic and meaningful culture was transformational.

“helped me to create a work-life balance.”

— Carly Wikelius: Buying Director at KITH NYC

Tracey has helped me navigate challenges I faced in the workplace as a new manager guiding a team. Her coaching has not only made me a more effective leader but has also helped me to create a work-life balance whose effects extend beyond the office. Tracey has given me the tools to continue flourishing within my career and is a great source of support and guidance.

“coaching clarified what I want to achieve.”

— Liz Williamson: Former Vice President International Government Affairs, Conoco Petroleum

Craig Clark provided a great service at a time when I really needed to become introspective. So many of us were caught in the grist of a major corporate merger. I got some valuable coaching that helped me sort through a long career history and enabled me to prioritize my goals and acknowledge the long-term objectives that I had somehow lost in my busy work life. The coaching clarified what I wanted to achieve and where I wanted my career to take me. Too often, we’re so busy that we forget that we are the masters of our own destinations and that we must sometimes make difficult decisions and chart a different path in order to recover control of life and achieve real satisfaction.

“I am a more patient, tolerant and inclusive leader.”

— Kevin Parkes: CEO Finning International Inc.

I have been the fortunate beneficiary of Craig’s wisdom since 2008. He and the Momentum team have unique abilities to break down complex issues. They helped me understand why I am the person I am while also helping me see things from others’ perspectives. As a result, I am a more patient, tolerant and inclusive leader. They have helped my whole organization with senior leadership development and management effectiveness. I would not hesitate to recommend Momentum.

“We like these guys!”

— Lisa Zangari: Vice President, Human Resources Placer Dome Canada

We employed Craig Clark and his team because they had a breadth of experience and talent to fit a variety of our needs, including high-level team-building sessions with our executives and managers, training internal trainers for us to build a practice of accountability across the organization and helping our managers to develop their listening and coaching skills. They were also instrumental in working with our Union reps and Management reps prior to Union Contract negotiations on how to conduct collaborative negotiations – a model we continue to use. We are an international company with locations worldwide, and their uncommon cultural sensitivity, respect for people and extraordinary experience gave us a resource worldwide, not just in Canada. We like these guys!

“I’d rarely met consultants who walked their talk.”

— David Wroe: Former Chief Technology Officer, CNA Financial, Current CEO of Swingtide

Our Executive Team was scheduled to participate in an alignment and team-building process. The premise was that unless we were willing to be accountable for how we worked together and what we modeled in our organization, we had no right to demand that of others. Frankly, I was skeptical. I agreed with the premise; I just had rarely met consultants that I thought actually ‘walked their talk’ in such matters. Then I met Craig Clark and his team. Right up front, they said, ‘We stand for the dignity of all people, and we are committed to producing a breakthrough with each of you in what leadership takes.’ You know what? For four-and-a-half days that’s exactly what they demonstrated. I observed a level of sensitivity that I find uncommon in the world of business. I was different after that, and I think I am better. I listen to his coaching still, and something else that I think makes Momentum a great consulting group: they listen to mine.

“We laughed, we cried…we cried some more…but most importantly we listened, and we grew!”

— Carrye Chen, MEd, CHES l Wellness Program Administrator, Texas Association of Counties

Last year, the Healthy County team went through Momentum Consulting (yes, we all survived lol). We laughed, we cried…we cried some more…but most importantly we listened, and we grew. One of the most important concepts I think our team took away from that experience was the idea of coming into “alignment”. What is that exactly? It more or less means that while you might not agree completely with a decision made by your team, you’re able to come to a place of support for the decision made because you trust your team. That concept alone has helped our team exponentially. Now, the trust part doesn’t always come easily—that part took working through a lot of perceptions we had of each other and listening with an open heart to work through those.

I know that not everyone has gone through Momentum Consulting, but building trust among team members doesn’t have to be a formal process—this can happen by being a better listener, asking questions and listening to the answer with an open mind, and learning more about each other so that we better know what our teammates value. All these things help build trust and the relationships needed for us to more easily come into “alignment”. Not to mention, it helps meetings go more smoothly and sometimes, quicker! Who wouldn’t be happy with that?

“Momentum helped us build greater harmony in our team.”

— Elizabeth Winslow & Stephanie Scherzer: Owners, Farmhouse Delivery of Austin, Texas

Working with Marlene Clark of Momentum Consulting has been extremely helpful and insightful. We’ve uncovered so much about our strengths and also have been able to see what wasn’t working and create strategies for building a partnership that works. Marlene has helped achieve real breakthroughs in communication and clarity between us. With true alignment on all levels and real communication about our common purpose, there are no limits to the growth we can achieve.
