Job hunting after a decade in the same role
Jessie came to Shift knowing she needed to transition out of a successful, but personally unfulfilling career. Over the course of a decade, she steadily moved up the ladder at her organization, yet her motivation and interest in the role continually faded. When her professional disinterest began to take a toll on her home life, Jessie knew it was time to pivot. Shift’s personalized Career Transition Coaching helped Jessie make a monumental shift in her career and find a new, engaging role in financial aid at a higher education institution.

Jumpstarting effective communication at a nonprofit with an Everything DiSC® Workshop
“Marsha Florio has been a part of the Massachusetts Association of Community Action (MASSCAP) Leadership Development Institute (LDI) for the past three years. Her DiSC sessions have been so well received, MASSCAP added another more in-depth session as a part of its new advanced level Leadership Development Institute 2. Marsha develops a rapport with participants from the time she enters the room. She is welcoming, knowledgeable and always well prepared. We will definitely engage Marsha for our next Leadership Development Institute session. The only "complaint" we heard from participants was that they wanted more!”
