Individual Coaching

Individual sessions with Merideth Mehlberg are a safe, supportive way to chart your path to positive change. We understand the unique responsibilities, pressures, and opportunities that come with your position, and have helped hundreds of talented executives who simply decided that they want more.

360 Review & Action Planning

We work with professionals looking to grow leadership roles within your current company or organization.

By taking us inside the company, Merideth Mehlberg Group can provide the crucial 360 perspective that helps remove obstacles and fuel real change.

    I knew what my overall mission was, but I didn't know how to get there. I wasn't confident about my skills, my experience, my future. Merideth talked me through it, helping me fill out her very comprehensive Career Compass tool to get a much clearer picture of my future career path.

    Celia is one of those rare people—she’s incisive and direct, yet warm and compassionate. This balance was key as I grappled with job search and then unemployment.
