Corporate Coaching


Asked for a conservative estimate of the monetary payoff from the coaching they got, managers described an average return of more than $100,000, or about six times what the coaching had cost their companies.

"Executive Coaching - With Returns a CFO Could Love" Fortune, 2/19/01


I work closely with managers to discern the specific coaching needs within a work team. Working individually with team members, I provide the same service as with Individual Coaching, but with an added focus: the organization's commitment to the development of each individual’s specific skills for the betterment of the team.

Organizations with which I have contracted to provide corporate coaching include leaders in the telecommunications industry, major Universities and Colleges, and the high tech industry, most notably Microsoft Corporation.

Terms: Four months minimum commitment.
Fee: Program specific.


From our initial goal-setting meeting I could tell that Mary Ellen Sailer was going to be more effective with me than any of my past coaches. She has a wonderful way of drawing out of me solutions to problems I'm experiencing and creative ways to approach my problems and issues. I always walk away feeling like she has empowered me to go do what I knew was the right thing to do, but maybe didn't have the confidence or courage to do before our session. She helps me shape out my responses rather than telling me what to do, and I feel complete ownership over the execution and outcomes of my actions. I approach difficult situations with her words of encouragement in the back of my head, and have even adopted a "what would Mary Ellen say?" mantra that helps me stay on course when things get tough. When the company-sponsored funding for coaching dried up, I chose to pay for her coaching services out of my own pocket, as I consider her to be an indispensible resource in my work life. When the bill comes in every month I find myself thinking, "This is probably the best money spent of anything I do for my career and life."

Thank you for your professional assessments of my leadership behaviors and potential during our coaching contract. The developmental 'invitations' you extended during each of our meetings were on target and proved fruitful. Thanks also, Mary Ellen, for your kind words and coaching on achieving a balance between work and family matters.

I fully expect to stay on the learning path of a leader who strives to be the best she can be for her company, her customers and herself! I also wish you the best in your personal and professional endeavors. I love your passion for the work you do so well.

The coaching has been awesome. Mary Ellen has helped me see myself differently. Instead of "striving" to manage my life, I am working from my strengths, and that feels great! You are very motivating, friendly, enthusiastic, and caring. I'd give it a ten! Thank you so much.
