Executive Coach Marc Friedman, NYC, New York, New Jersey
I have become a much more effective Leader and Manager as a result of Marc's coaching and insights drawn from his experiences. I really appreciate his coaching style and the highly personalized sessions that we have. I know he really cares about me. It is also helpful to have someone outside my firm who I can confide in and who can guide me on issues I am experiencing in my office. I look forward to a long relationship with him.

Marc is a terrific coach. He helped me with career issues and I am now a partner in a fine law firm. Using his Green Sheet method I have significantly increased my business originations which continue to grow. I would not be where I am today without Marc's personalized and hands-on coaching and guidance. But Marc has been more than a coach; he is a great mentor and friend. His breadth of professional and coaching experience is very special. I highly recommend Marc for anyone who needs coaching or mentoring.
