Instructors

Marcia Bench, MCCC, Founder/DirectorMarcia Bench

Title, Credentials: Master Certified Career Coach (MCCC), Certified Business Coach (CBC), Certified Career Management Practitioner (CMP), Certified Teleleader; J.D. degree in law and B.S. degree in psychology.

Web sites: www.careercoachinstitute.com, www.retirementcoachinstitute.com www.marciabench.com and many more.

What I Do: I am the Founder and Director of Career Coach Institute and its affiliate companies. I conceived the idea of blending career development with coach training in 2000, and shortly after that created CCI. I have developed and continue to oversee its program design, staffing, strategic planning, budgeting, student services, marketing, web services and curriculum development. CCI is my fourth business venture, and I love being an entrepreneur and owner of a growing company. I have also done my stint in “corporate,” both in administrative support and executive roles, and find that my need to respond quickly when an idea strikes and to do it “my way” draws me to business ownership.

What I Like About My Work: My favorite part of my work is seeing (or hearing) the “quantumshift!” moment when someone who is coaching, being coached, or learning, finally has a moment of clarity. What a moment! I also love working virtually, since my spouse is retired and I love to travel, coaching and coach training lets me live my life and work wherever I go (or delegate it so I can take a break every so often!). And I love to innovate: if there’s a better way to do something and no one has thought of it yet, I’ll be the one to try it!

Favorite Career Development/Self Improvement Program: Early on, it was Marsha Sinetar’s work that most inspired me, as well as author Nancy Anderson. Then Richard Lieder and so many current authors that continue to share the message of hope with the weary working world. Each of them opened my mind to the possibility that you can have work that is fun and also financially rewarding. And that’s what I have committed my life to helping myself and others create for themselves.

Favorite Thing I’ve Learned About Myself Through Career Coach Training: I’ve learned so much more about what nurtures and works best for me: I love to have a Practice Development, I love to combine seemingly disparate knowledge or concepts into a cohesive set of principles or a program, I love to create and offer new products that wow people, and I love to have spontaneity and space for change in my life. And I’m thankful that those that work with me understand that and embrace it too (at least most of the time!)

Favorite Career Coaching Book: Well, I have to admit it’s my own, Career Coaching: An Insider’s Guide, and anything by Dr. Wayne Dyer.

Favorite Hobbies/Leisure Activities: I enjoy hiking in the woods of Oregon, being by the ocean, playing tennis – or watching professional matches, cooking and entertaining, boating, and warm weather. I am a cat lover and love to travel by RV, cruise ship or boat to fun new places.

Valerie McClure, Instructor

Valerie McClure-Plis

Title/Credentials: VP of Career Services Master Certified Career Coach (MCCC) Gallup-Certified Strengths Performance Coach (SPC)

Education/Certifications: Master Certified Career Coach through Career Coach Institute, Strengths Performance Coach through The Gallup Organization, Member of National Rehabilitation Association

Web site: www.truenorthcareers.com
www.pro-traincareers.com

What I Do: I manage the facility and training operations for ProTrain & True North Career Services, a job-skills training school serving individuals in career transition. I provide individual, group and corporate coaching in the areas of career transition, authentic vocation, strategic job search planning and marketing, goal setting, and performance improvement. I am also one of CCI’s Coach Facilitators for the Core Coach Training teleclass series. I speak on a regular basis for Targeted Job Fairs and other professional associations.

What I Like About My Work: I love helping people uncover and explore their natural gifts and talents and discover how those can be incorporated into their “work” to produce a successful career that is both fulfilling and rewarding. I have an inherent love for helping people. In Career Coaching I get the awesome privilege of working with a wide variety of individuals where I can also use my gifts in the areas of achievement, focus, and analytical thinking to help clients achieve results that they otherwise would not have achieved on their own. Helping clients to think outside the box to develop creative job search and career transition strategies is exciting and fun! There’s never a dull moment because no two clients are ever alike. Since their personal situations are unique, I get to approach the coaching relationship as a brand new experience!

Favorite Career Development/Self Improvement Program: Career Coach Institute (for sure!); Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham
Favorite Thing I’ve Learned About Myself Through Career Coach Training: The most exciting result is the revelation of my own gifts and talents and how those critical components directly relate to my career satisfaction and performance. I’ve also become more consciously aware of how to navigate my career in a deliberate, strategic manner.

Favorite Career Coaching Book: Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham

Favorite Hobbies/Leisure Activities: I enjoy traveling, music, making jewelry, leading small support groups, and learning something new.

Janine Moon, MCCC, Instructor

Janine Moon, MCCC

Title, Credentials: MA; Master Certified Career Coach; Adjunct Faculty, Franklin University MBA Program and Executive Coaching Focus.

Web site: http://www.CPCoaching.com

What I Do: I help individuals build Inspiring Work and organizations build Inspiring Workplaces. Much of my work is about delivering ‘the hard truth about the soft stuff,’™ which includes workshops and keynotes on topics based in emotional intelligence, e.g. relationship building, developing resilience and collaboration. I am particularly focused on developing workplaces where worker engagement and generational differences are valued and where those things are the platform for the organization’s success. I found coaching after years in two utility industries; and I teach topic-specific classes for CCI. I am also a professional member of the National Speakers Association (NSA) and Vice-President of NSA-Ohio, and am working toward my CSP (Certified Speaking Professional) designation.

What I Like About My Work: It’s what I’m here to do. Nothing is more satisfying than being there as people look inside themselves, understand that ‘choice’ and ‘self’ are what forward movement is all about and make the decision and take the action to get out of their own way. I do appreciate helping people find their voice!

Favorite Career Development/Self Improvement Program: Authentic Vocation worksheets; Now, Discover Your Strengths; The Eighth Habit.
Favorite Thing I’ve Learned About Myself Through Career Coach Training: How to stick with and develop various approaches to ‘getting out of my own way’
Favorite Career Coaching Book: Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham

Favorite Hobbies/Leisure Activities: Reading, training with my friends for the January 06 Disney marathon, spending time with my daughter and down time with my black lab, Shelby.
