Personal and Transitional Coaching

Transitions in careers - transitions in life. They happen whether you want them or not, and standing in our power is a skill we all need help with.

At Knorr & Associates, the process of working through big life moments is called ‘transitional coaching.’

Workplace transitions are sometimes difficult and can have a lot at stake. Retirement and re-entry to the workplace are transitions that require additional skills.

We coach you to make the most of every stage of life.

“Margery Knorr is a contemporary Wonder Woman. Not only does she leverage insightful advice at every turn, but she is also not afraid to tell it how she sees it, as both a coach and a consultant. Margery coached me to trust my own knowledge and insights, unpacking my own strengths and leveraging the truth of my own skills so that I could perform with exceptional results. I will continue to seek out Margery as a beacon for advice and wisdom.”

Our passion is coaching those who are ready to courageously move through challenges to create their future.

Definition of Transitional Coaching

Go further than the obstacles.

Coaching is a collaborative, professional relationship between the coach and the client that generates clarity and purpose to move the client to produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, business, and organizations.

Coaching accelerates the transformation of the client through powerful questioning, feedback, assessments, and support for the individual to work through barriers to unlock their potential. Coaching is future and action-focused.

Coaching encourages the individual to perform at their best with the assistance of their coach who will challenge, stimulate, and guide the client to keep growing toward their highest goals.
