Marcy Fawcett

Engaging Marcy Fawcett as an executive coach was one of the best decisions of my career. At the time, I was tasked with the mission of transforming a line of business into a state-of-the-art operation. The company was investing nearly $20 million on this initiative. Unfortunately, not everyone embraced our mission; they resisted change and lacked a sense of urgency.

My employer sponsored Marcy Fawcett as an Executive Coach to help me cultivate my leadership and broaden my management skills. Within a very short period of time, Marcy established credibility and trust. This bond enabled her to challenge me in my thinking and help me see situations and people from new and different perspectives that I’d not seen before. She encouraged me to take a more strategic outlook of the future and to assess the affects/risks/benefits of each approach. This whole new way of thinking (identifying assumptions before reacting and communicating more effectively) helped me forge much stronger relationships across the team and organization. Early on, I started to see positive results by acting upon Marcy’s recommendations. My staff started to embrace the changes that we wanted to implement which greatly increased my motivation and self-confidence around the significance and value of our mission! Step by step, Marcy coached me and helped me implement a process to effectively succeed at team building and portray the image that I wanted as leader of this line of business. Collaborating with Marcy was a phenomenal experience that produced not only great results for my career, but was life altering!

I was given the opportunity by ESR to work at development of my mgmt/leadership skills working with Marcy as a Coach. She’s a great listener, very supportive, bright and wonderful to work with. Marcy has been able to help me identify my work and communication style and has helped me realize how it impacts my work and interaction with others. She has helped me identify how I can modify my style to work more effectively with others, as well as identify other ways of doing things, especially during the major changes taking place in my company. I highly recommend Marcy to anyone who is interested in personal and professional development and growth!

 When I moved from R&D into Marketing at ESR my role required frequent participation in major corporate presentations. ESR sponsored Coaching work with Marcy wherein she worked with me to identify and isolate the things that were getting in the way of my success. She helped me see the situation from different perspectives that gave me ‘choices’ in ways that allowed me to get excited about the changes I was about to make! She provided me resources, tools and exercises to learn and practice new behaviors in specific competency areas. I spent only a few months with Marcy but my outlook and success has improved immensely!

Recently, I was nominated to the Chairman’s Circle which represents the top 1% producers at a Fortune 500 Corporation.  I attribute part of my success to Marcy Fawcett's coaching.  For over fifteen years, she has served as my executive coach and mentor.  Marcy has been instrumental throughout my career helping me negotiate job offers, managing different types of career transitions (assimilation into new companies, changes in leadership/management as well as changes in business strategy from promotions and acquisitions, etc.) 
 
Like most executives, I’ve always operated under the assumption that I was well-equipped to manage my career, handle new challenges, and deal with my colleagues.  Marcy encouraged me to explore 360 feedback to gain greater awareness into development areas that would increase my success. The insight I gained using this approach was remarkable!  Marcy helped me comprehend different perspectives which enabled me to realize the potential value for my team.  These changes drove my success to unprecedented levels and resulted in outstanding reviews from senior management in many more areas that I would ever have anticipated! 
 
Her commitment, objectivity and amazing insight into both the career management and development coaching are exceptional.  I wholeheartedly endorse Marcy as an executive coach and have referred many colleagues to her for coaching.
 

I had the opportunity to work with Marcy in order to improve my management abilities. She very quickly helped me identify core areas to focus on and we worked together to make noticeable improvements at a rapid pace. Her methods focused on both management techniques and tools to improve my core competencies. The improvements made were noticed by my supervisors, colleagues, customers and my wife. I have benefited greatly from having worked with Marcy and would strongly recommend her services in the future. Great Results, Personable, High Integrity
 

Marcy is an incredibly insightful coach that has been instrumental in my development as a manager and leader of senior scientists and technical professionals. Through our discussions of new situations and challenges, she led me to discover new ways to look at the world and challenged me to try new strategies when interacting with my team, my peers, and senior management. This led to remarkable improvements in the performance of my team and our impact on the organization. Great Results, Personable, High Integrity

"I worked with Marcy to develop my leadership skills. Marcy is experienced and systematic in bringing awareness of my blind spots. She is persistent and effective in coaching me to implement and execute changes in my behaviors to improve my interpersonal skills. Within a few months working with Marcy, I have obtained positive feedback on the effect of coaching work from my co-workers.

Marcy has demonstrated genuine interest, expertise, trust, and integrity in coaching. It has been a pleasure and productive experience for me to work with Marcy." Great Results, Personable, Expert

I began working with Marcy when I transitioned into a role with much higher management responsibilities, but with very little insight into how I needed to transform myself to remain successful. With her help, I was able to identify my development opportunities and a development plan, as well as identify my strengths and leverage them. While Marcy is very positive and supportive, she is also honest and detailed, and can always be counted on to discover and focus in on even the most subtle issue that could threaten success. Marcy also introduced me to some new tools and techniques, which have helped me tremendously to turn around a failing technology startup. I can honestly say that I could not have been as successful without Marcy’s coaching, which she did in a focused, enthusiastic, and caring manner, and therefore would recommend Marcy to any organization or professional interested in performing at their very best.: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity
