New York, NYJanine A. Schindler, MCC

My expertise as a Master Certified Coach (MCC) comes from twenty-four years of experience spanning the corporate ranks in Fortune 1000 - 100 firms and mid - small businesses where I earned the nickname “The Wall Street Chic.” With a sense of humor and creative listening, I share expertise as an executive coach with my clients who say I'm a catalyst for personal, as well as professional growth. The focus of my work is with leaders and teams at all levels, to develop the competencies required for the organization's strategic success. I have license to work with Emotional Intelligence, DiSC Behavioral and Whole Brain Creativity. Many request my services as a speaker and trainer, media guest and instructor.

Some of my corporate clients include Accenture, ABC Broadcasting, Accenture, American Heart Association, Bank of New York, Benjamin Moore, Comcast, Deutsche Bank, Deloitte, Ford, Goldman Sachs, Interim Consulting (Ajilon), Oracle, Pfizer, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, NY Times, Ogilvy and Mather, Oracle, Price Waterhouse Cooper, Primary Care Development Corporation, Star Alliance, TIAA CREF, US Trust and Company, Wells Fargo, and XCEL Credit Union.

Results clients have achieved:

You get over twenty-four years of experience with proven successes from professionals in national and international corporations. I have a firm grounding in business know-how, in the world of the executive leader, in corporate cultures and their impact on the organization.

I believe in facilitating positive change by helping professionals change their thinking. Coaches give guidance on how to improve more than just the bottom line. Fulfillment not only comes through higher profits and salary, promotions, and bonuses, but also through open communication, emotional growth, accountability, and creativity. Clients have accomplished the following with help from my executive coaching services:

  • • Moved up the corporate ladder.
  • • Met goals faster.
  • • Delivered better results with less effort.
  • • Focused on solutions instead of problems
  • • Increased job and life satisfaction
  • • Gained more independence
  • • Communicated more effectively
  • • Produced higher quality results
  • • Inspired employees to do their best work
  • • Encountered less conflict with staff
  • • Improved staff retention rates

Testimonials:

“Everyone thoroughly enjoyed Janine's presentation. The interactive nature of her program was both informative and entertaining. Personally, I have been thinking of a couple of different directions that I could take my career. Her workshop made me realize that one of the directions 'looked good on paper', but would require me to use skills that I don't enjoy using and are not in line with my behavior style.”

“I see the differences in everyone in the department -even those you're not coaching. It's a reflection on those who you are coaching. Boy, do we appreciate you!” “Having a plan in place has enabled me to be better organized, more productive and more confident. I was amazed at the positive impact coaching has had on both my career and personal life. As my coach, Janine helped me to clearly define my goals, stay focused on them, and start achieving them.”

“Janine Schindler combines two rare talents: top notch business acumen and refined listening skills. She heard my ideas and helped me translate them into a working, realistic plan of action. She helped me define my goals and then lay out steps through which I could begin to realize my dream."

What a Coaching Relationship with me is like:

Through a customized approach, you receive help with integrating a coaching perspective into your everyday culture. We provide your leaders with specific coaching skill sets, theory, and practice so they incorporate the coaching into all aspects of management and leadership REMOTELY, at all times.

Working with leaders and teams at all levels, I develop leaders who have the competency required to ensure the organization's plans become a reality. Executives and leaders who have worked with me for between six and twelve months have reported positive and solid business impacts. They credit the coaching process, which led to higher productivity, better customer service, higher sales, and less employee turnovers.

Professional History:

I've contributed to books and articles related to career issues, I serve as panelist with CollegeRecruiter.com, and I've been a two-term President of the International Coach Federation — NYC Chapter and founding member of the organization’s Speakers Bureau. ABC World News This Morning invites me as a regular guest expert and I've appeared on Discovery Channel’s Health Cops.
