My experience working with them was amazing. At first I wasn’t sure how it would work to have two coaches, but I soon realized the many benefits. Each brought unique perspectives to understanding a situation, but they came together to provide well thought out recommendations and action plans that helped me navigate through challenging situations. Fred and Gladys are hands-on results oriented coaches that are extremely focused on helping their clients succeed. The tools and techniques I learned in that experience will help me throughout my career. I had the privilege of working with Fred and Gladys as professional coaches.

What can you bring to this new position that makes you an excellent choice? Let them know by broadening your skill set you'll be more valuable to the company. The fact that you like learning is great - turn that into a benefit for the company. For example, tell them how your ability to learn quickly in other areas has been a benefit to them. You may have brought forward new initiaives that resulted in increased sales or cost savings. Use your past successes as leverage points to get this new job. Hope this helps, Fred & Gladys Hi Jay,

She says it would be a lateral move with NO change in salary but I am not interested in any change in salary sadly...I am more interested in expanding my horizons and learning something new...Make any sense? Any suggestions as to what to say to her? Please help!!!
