What Dr. Markewich’s Clients Are Saying

“When I started working with Dr. Markewich—Taylere—I felt marginalized and stuck in roles that were beneath my knowledge and abilities, but I didn’t understand how to get to the next level. My career was the focus of our conversations, but I now apply what I learned from her for business situations to how I interact with family, friends, and everyday challenges. I’m in management at a new company and approach decisions differently, with a focus on my overarching goals.”

— AB, executive director, global cosmetics corporation

“Taylere is the total package. She brings the depth of training, expertise, and insight you expect from a high-caliber organizational psychologist, and a genuineness and relatability that makes you want to hang out and listen to her. She combines experience with up-to-date, well-researched and -executed techniques, and deploys it all with a personality that inspires interest and engagement. Her above-and-beyond nature means she’s always looking for ways to improve and enrich the process for all related parties, whether that’s me, my company’s ultimate client, or our individual employees and candidates.”

— JS, owner, consulting company

“We had worked with Taylere as a Consultant for a number of years. When we decided to offer a new stress management workshop to our trainees, there was no question who we would engage with to develop and execute our program. It was Taylere, of course. Her insights proved invaluable in creating a structure and forum to help our people manage stress in the workplace. And her deep understanding of the language and culture of our business aided tremendously in engaging the workshop participants to seek ways to better manage their difficulties.”

— SF, administrator, film training organization

“Even at the moment I accepted a new sales leadership position, I didn’t feel I would progress in my career. I knew something was not right about that. In the initial phase of my engagement with Taylere, we went through “the why”: my family history and the key life moments that shaped who I am. She helped me get beyond the obstacles I’d set for myself. I’m now in the midst of getting a promotion and creating a new department at my company and a new national role for myself.”

— JM, divisional sales manager, commercial furniture

“Most days at my previous, toxic workplace were fraught with interpersonal drama. I was afraid of taking another wrong job offer, but didn’t know how to stop the cycle. My previous career coach always coached me into the next job that presented itself; then how to leave when I was unhappy. Taylere is different. She helped me understand why I was stuck. Instead of giving me answers, she helped me learn how to find the answers myself. My career is now 100% different. It’s not what I originally thought I was looking for, and I love it.”

— ML, business development professional, formerly in marketing

“I met with Taylere when I was taking time off to determine my next career step. I’d left a secure communications position, but one in which I found no joy, motivation, or excitement. She laid out a roadmap for me to understand my workplace strengths and weaknesses, and I immediately knew it would lead me to the right move. Thanks to her one-on-one, no-cookie-cutter, personalized sessions, I’m now in a position that brings me joy and satisfaction. I have less stress and feel more rewarded.”

— IT, senior director, pharmaceutical company

“I was burned out at my ‘dream job’ and didn’t know where to turn. In a positive, supportive way, Taylere evaluated my strengths and weaknesses and started me on a productive path. I began to plant seeds towards a big change and ultimately was able to shift careers. I took a position in a new but related industry where I can apply my experience and knowledge, and also learn and grow.”

— NF, director, talent management, formerly in education

“Taylere’s professionalism, rapport-building, assuredness, and experience ensures she’s well-received by both the client and the individuals she coaches. She blends her ability to create safe spaces with her inquiry skills, while making real-world use of her vast and deep knowledge of psychology to address the challenge in front of her. I have so much trust and belief in Taylere that it enables me to focus on other work while she runs the client engagements.”

— NJ, owner, consulting company

“Despite being considered a top performer as a communications director in big pharma, I felt overwhelmed. The demands on my work-life balance were difficult to predict and control. My family relationships and health—mental and physical—were suffering. Yet I believed it was frivolous to leave a senior role at a good company. Taylere’s action plan opened my eyes to opportunities I would have previously ruled out. I’ve moved to a smaller company where I’m challenging myself in a new way, with far better work-life balance.

— PK, director of communications, pharmaceutical company

“I was new to management, and wanted to grow into my role without making mistakes due to inexperience. Working with Taylere, what used to be painful and hard became natural and effective. She’s so warm and down-to-earth, which really makes difficult conversations easier. Since then, I got promoted, received a substantial raise, and now I contribute to high-visibility teams where policies and projects are created. I’m starting to be known not only as an effective manager, but as an expert in my field.”

— EB, operations manager, infrastructure corporation

“Taylere helps me know myself better, and discover why I am stuck and why I want what I want. She helps me see the context of my own choices, make a plan, and then navigate my course. Her practical advice is spot-on and her deeper, more strategic advice pushes me to grow. I’m not exaggerating: at a key mid-career, mid-life point, Taylere helped me change some deeply bad habits and embrace a different way of thinking about work. It’s not all rainbows, but when I get stuck in a thunderstorm, I know what to do."

“Taylere Markewich is a highly skilled leadership advisor and management consultant. We recently partnered on a thorough assessment program for a client’s Top 75 leaders, from conducting interviews and Hogan assessments to feedback and development planning. Taylere quickly immersed herself and grasped the necessary factors to have a strong impact with the leaders. She is always inquisitive and brings a breadth and depth of understanding and insights to the team. I value Taylere for her commitment to excellence and always meeting or exceeding our firm’s expectations around service, quality and delivery.”

— AB, owner, consulting company

“Working with Taylere was one of the most satisfying experiences I have had as a professional woman. She is warm, approachable, and listens well. Taylere is reassuring and is extremely deft at discussing difficult topics without triggering defensiveness. I was surprised by the skill she brings to the table as someone with a strong psychology background; there were insights she was able to identify that counseling had never surfaced, and yet it was never outside the purview of direct relevance for our coaching goals. Through our work together, I was able to better understand my own dynamics in the workplace, develop practices and new skills to navigate difficulties, and to even appreciate my own gifts and talents in a new way.”
