Cheryl Magen

The most important time for an individual and an organization to realize success is during that critical first year of transition. By working with both the organization and the individual to clarify expectations, learn each other’s culture, language and norms, the chance for success is much greater than if either side tried to go it alone. Clarifying job descriptions and setting regular times and methods for feedback as well as providing the buffer for the sometimes rocky beginnings of the professional relationship can help organizations extend the term of an employee saving on recruitment and training costs.

A carefully designed system of conversations will help both the employee and the organization move through the first phases of settling in to a new position. The objectivity of an outside person allows for messages to be delivered or translated as needed in a much more honest way allowing a healthier partnership to grow. This is a crucial investment that will help reach success.

Testimonials

“Cheryl Magen was my most valuable asset during my recent job search. With a midlife career change, I needed to showcase my previous unrelated work experience to my current job search. Cheryl was instrumental in assisting me with the task of building connections between these two worlds. My previous job experience was therefore strongly enhanced on my resume as well as in my interviews. She was my sounding board, my editor and most importantly my strongest supporter. When the pressures of interviewing would mount, I could always count on Cheryl to calm me, encourage and prepare me so that I was ready for the next round of interviews.“
