"I am not afraid of storms for I am learning to sail my ship."
--Louisa May Alcott

How do you feel about change? I believe humans are energized by the changes they create, and are often unhappy with change initiated by others. It’s this concept of shaping the world we live in, of setting our own course as we grow and develop, of serving clients as partners in navigating change that led to the creation of The Crowley Group. Here are some thoughts about change that Joe and I especially like. I hope they spark your thinking about where and how you want to go.
-- Elaine Rosenberg Crowley

"Well, well -- the world must turn on its axis;
And all mankind must turn with it, heads or tails;
And live and die, make love and pay our taxes,
And, as the veering wind shifts, shift our sails."
-- George Gordon, Lord Byron

"Someday perhaps change will occur when times are ready for it instead of always when it is too late. Someday change will be as accepted as life itself."
-- Shirley MacLaine

"Clearly no group can as an entity create ideas. Only individuals can do this. A group of individuals may, however, stimulate one another in the creation of ideas."
-- Estill Green

"Objectives are not fate; they are direction. They are not commands; they are commitments. They do not determine the future; they are means to mobilize resources and energies for the making of the future."
-- Peter F. Drucker

"Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change."
-- Katherine Mansfield

We coach people like you -- successful executives, entrepreneurs, managers, and professionals -- with a BIG vision who would like a sounding board or who are blocked by a level of complexity that interferes with taking full advantage of the opportunities available to them.

You can break through to make the changes necessary to enable you to have the professional and personal life you want. You can have

• Increased free time to devote to living life as you want it to be.
• Increased focus on the things that are important to you, that produce the greatest return on your investment of time, energy and resources.
• Increased order and clarity in your life by delegating or eliminating the things which get in the way of achieving your goals.
• Increased effectiveness as a leader and team member by applying your unique abilities most powerfully.

We can also coach you and your team to resolve issues and share wisdom and ideas through creative problem-solving and enhanced communication.

"Elaine has the invaluable skill of listening beyond the spoken word to get to an understanding of the issues. She can then sum up what is really going on -- the first step along the path to solution. Patience and wisdom are the words that spring to mind."
-- VP Technology Development, Multinational IT Company

"Serious executive coaching for senior executives. Brilliant insights about how to improve relationships and positioning with senior management and external clients. Friendly but extremely effective high level guidance and goal setting. Put simply 'no longer does it have to be lonely at the top.' "
-- CIO, Financial Services Company

"Elaine’s personal integrity and professional ethics are of the highest order. Importantly, she doesn’t waste your time telling you what you want to hear, but rather, what you need to hear. I can give Elaine no higher praise than that."
-- CFO, Pharmaceutical Company

"I finally have a new job which is an excellent opportunity for me. I can't tell you how much help your coaching was to me--I was so 'stuck' when we started I don't know if I ever would have gotten going, and I learned a lot from you along the way."
-- Software Development Manager


Coaching works because your coach helps you set and reach higher and more appropriate goals, asks more of you than you would have done on your own and focuses you to produce results more quickly. Coaching uses a process of inquiry and personal discovery to build your level of awareness and responsibility and provides you with structure, support and feedback. Coaching is a form of consulting; your coach stays with you to help implement the new skills, changes and goals to make sure they really happen. However, coaches do not try to "fix" a client -- it is entirely up to you to take the action in order to change your life.
