Welcome

Hello, I'm Mary-Frances Fox.

Yes, Maryfrances is my first name .  If you find it long, call me Mary Frank. Just not Mary.

For the current program, please click the top link on the left.

You've learned about this site because a colleague you trust knows my work, and has referred you for fresh thinking about your career situation.  Probably your role is no longer the way you want things to be for yourself, and something needs to shift.  Or you may have separated from your job due to cutbacks.

You wonder what the next possibilities look like for you, and how realistic and rewarding each would be.  All your options pose opportunity, difficulty and rewards, and partnering with you to define and manage your specific personal best road forward is why we are here. Is your best path of action at this time to: 

• Land the best job offer and pay available in your industry, so you continue doing the work you know?

• Move up to your next level in that industry to maximize your potential and fit?

• Cross over to a field that fits you as well or better, securing the same or higher pay?

• Find your relevance to another industry that is growing more than your old one?  

• Incur the total costs of retraining and a postponed hunt?

• Securely establish yourself as an uncommonly highly paid and in-demand contract worker or a profitably self employed individual or small business owner?

Attempting to make these choices and make the best one happen for more than a few weeks on your own today is needlessly long, stressful and even wasteful -- because there are senior career management professionals who developed today's leading-edge practices on guiding you to decide the career reality you now need and walking alongside you as you create or find it. In our firm we partner with you privately as your own initiative, and many senior business professionals and executives who are already successful prefer to invest to retain our individualized advice and highly innovative systematic process rather than tie up their time with employer-purchased career transition/outplacement programs, especially if they've ever experienced the limits of such programs.

Compared to other career coaching and career counseling advice now widely available, we are not newcomers to this field. Guiding career strategies and steps to establish and control your options, your interactions, your productivity, value and bargaining power so that you preserve or increase your compensation and freedoms is not a certificate course a coach can buy and hang a shingle on. Seasoned career management experts have built up extensive experience and wisdom about the career events in your life, and the best are strategic thinkers whose expertise yields more progress and measurable outcomes than other types of career help know how to help you preserve or gain.

Career Equity TM stands out among top career management sources for its ability to get people much closer to how they need their careers to be, and to arrive at that satisfaction point months or years sooner than they had always assumed was possible. That's because we innovated a system. A few places think they have one too.  But we do 15 things so effective and different that no other career management or coaching source yet knows how.  The difference for you is, just by how you lead your next career move, you can gather up value-creating, career-easing Career EquityTM you did not realize you had, and effortlessly manufacture more. With the Career Equity TM system the individual's problem gets solved, they maintain or increase their income level, and -- most meaningfully to them, as they tell us -- they get a whole new relationship to their career. This relationship of uncommon ease, access, progress, value and freedoms -- known as having Career EquityTM - yields better options, lands better work and repays dividends in career ease year after year.

Since 1991 solely devoted to the professional career management space, in my firm we know how strong career moves are made and how robust, happy careers are built and re-crafted. Today our systematic process and uncommonly effective communication formulas are shared two ways:

. the Career EquityTM System offered for individual talent to personally own  

. as founder I personally advise only a small number of accomplished senior business professionals and leaders now each year, 1:1.

Yes, you can afford to have this. Having my advice and system can produce a higher return than any other stock, GIC or other investment in its best years.  It produces more for more clients than taking an MBA, and in fact MBAs are some of our most satisfied clients.

Choosing a career-move advisor whose help will actually make a difference and represent an excellent return for investing in your future is not simple. So this site is provided to save you time by answering some of the many initial questions people generally have about my 1:1 help and the Career Equity TM system.

Enjoy the many articles on the site, starting by clicking the Page on the left column, What is Career Equity? Be sure to check the Private Client Profile page, at left.

For those seeking 1:1 advisory counsel, if most of the points in the Private Client Profile describe you, I invite you to email or call me in confidence for a brief personal discussion of your situation, where we may decide as a next step to schedule a CEMAP meeting, which pinpoints what has caused your current challenge and frames a custom action plan that leaps your career forward again, using my unparalleled system as it relates to you.

For those who are not yet a match to the Private Client Profile, our forthcoming Career Equity TM System is your way to get my extremely useful system. It's a treasury of the advice, steps, formulas, and templates we use in our office with private clients. To be notified of its release date, simply go to my Blog www.careerenergy.com and go to the Contact section and email me. Please do not enter a Hotmail and Yahoo address as these cannot be notified. While there, read about our current work, Career Energy TM.

 

To your Career Equity,

 

Mary-Frances Fox
