WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I have found Curtis’ years of experience as a coach has benefited me tremendously. He understands the unique challenges facing African American leaders in a corporate environment and has helped me navigate through many challenges involving people dynamics, conflict resolution, and promotions. He has helped me countless times on developing a winning team for success.

"I've worked professionally with the principals of Tier One for over 20 years.  They were trail blazers that succeeded in an industry where there were not many role models who looked like me. As a result of my coaching experience with these executives, who led by example...... I trusted, I listened, I watched and mannered myself after their lead.  They are consummate professionals, completely tailored with everyday excellent communications skills. I credit my success in large part to their influence.  My company currently manages over $1.7 Billion in assets. I recommend them enthusiastically."

My relationship with Marsha spans more than a decade. She has supported me throughout my professional journey - from my role as the executive director of a non-profit to my current position as the diversity executive of a global company. Throughout my professional journey, she has always been accessible, an active listener and a provider of strategic insights that have helped me navigate the nuances of corporate America. I would recommend the services of Tier 1 to anyone who is committed to enhancing their workplace performance.

Curtis has helped to guide and coach me through numerous promotions and challenging assignments. His operational expertise has proved to be invaluable. He has enabled me to formulate a strategy and vision that enabled me to move my operations to the top 5 percent in the firm. Curtis is my accountability partner who has influenced and enhanced my leadership capabilities over more than two decades.
William T

As we navigate and advance throughout our careers, we can become complacent about what inspires and ignites us to bring our best.  We  erroneously and unconsciously expect the company, environment, or culture to change, while we forge ahead with the same approach.  We’re at a loss to understand why we’re not successful in getting the promotions and roles for which we compete.  Tier 1's approach to KNOW me, create trust and invest in understanding my professional needs was a game changer. I strongly recommend these services as they are not founded on a "one size fits all" approach. I found them fully committed to assisting me achieve professional fulfillment.

PHILIP HOY

My coaching experience working with Marsha has been empowering, uplifting, and filled with executive insights that have enabled me to think more strategically as I moved into a new leadership role within my company. The executive leadership background and experience of my Tier One principal allowed for a coaching opportunity that was perfectly matched with my new role as my role as Diversity Executive. Our conversations focus on key elements of my leadership as I work to establish a new corporate function within a $4 billion organization. I consider my Tier One principal a trusted advisor and my go-to council whenever I need insight, guidance, and perspective. Each conversation is rich and robust and I come away from each discussion with more than anticipated. I highly recommended Tier One as I have had such a valuable coaching experience with my principal.

I have worked with Marsha for the last several years. As a first-time manager, my coach has helped me identify my leadership strengths, areas of opportunity for professional growth and has kept me motivated and accountable for reaching my goals. I would recommend Tier 1 for their disciplined coaching process and customized approach to their clients.
