Rick had just moved to Denver after his wife had been transferred here.  He came to GCM at a place in his life where he wanted to explore new career directions.  GCM helped him to explore his options and identify his strengths and his passions.  Once he decided the direction to take, he followed the GCM process and received the certification he needed for his new career.  By networking he obtained a new position and he will continue working with GCM as he develops his new career.

Mike used GCM to help him utilize his vast network and identified a number of opportunities that he was considering.  He decided to go back with a company he had worked with previously because it offered the most growth potential for his career.

Joey knew the company he was working for in trouble and by the second meeting with GCM he had been told he was being let go.  GCM helped to develop an exit strategy with a severance package.  About a week later he came across this new position.  GCM helped him to network within the company, draft a cover letter specific to the position, secure an interview, and negotiate his compensation package.  He is extremely excited about this new opportunity, especially as it gets him back into the industry he desired to return to.

“The elements of GCM that most helped me where reviewing various interview processes and remembering to ask ‘What is the next step’ after the interview. I enjoyed working with Scott. He was a great help.” – Beth

Kris is very excited about the new opportunity she found through using the GCM process.  She was offered the position the day she interviewed.  GCM worked with her to strategize on an immediate increase in salary and another increase in six months.

Judy came to GCM after recently graduating with her MA in Counseling and Therapy.  She was unsure what she wanted to do with her new degree.  GCM worked with her to focus on her career.  When she decided that she wanted to develop her own practice, GCM helped her create a strategy for moving forward and to identify key opportunities and challenges.

Alice had several interviews during her time working with GCM.  The position she accepted resulted from one of the letters she sent.  The CEO was excited to interview her and she received an offer.  GCM helped with negotiating a higher salary and a 6 month review to increase compensation.

“The two elements of GCM that were most valuable to me were probably:

1)The video interview: it was really interesting to see myself as others see me . . . not always consistent with how we think we are coming across

2) My regular meetings with Scott: he provided me guidance, direction, motivation, counsel and sanity checks”

After relocating to Colorado from Baltimore to care for an ill relative, Steve began working with GCM.  He had no contacts in Denver, so GCM set up a strategy for him to network with other professionals in his industry.  He was contacted by a recruiter for the position and went through a total of five interviews.  GCM worked with him to prepare for each one and when the offer came in a little lower than expected, he was coached on how to negotiate.  In the end he was thrilled with the results of the process and acknowledges that he never would have received the increase without GCM’s coaching.

Sheri came to GCM after being with the same company for over 20 years.  She had acquired her Master’s degree and a PMP during that time, but did not feel as if the agency recognized her added value and she was frustrated by the lack of growth opportunities.  GCM was able to help her reframe her expertise and coached her on how to articulate the value she brought to an organization.  She is thrilled with the new position, the additional responsibilities and the $20K increase in salary thanks to the help and guidance of GCM.
