Beyond the Boardroom (BtB) is a consultancy that works with individuals and organizations to facilitate career transitions.

Our philosophy is that these transitions are exciting opportunities for professional and personal growth, affording the chance to not only optimize career options, but also to learn about oneself and, in so doing, potentially discover career choices that were not previously apparent.

Finally... an organization whose main mission addresses the complexity of career transitions, both on the individual and the organizational levels.

Our clients are committed to the idea of work/life integration and are seeking the tools to address the obstacles to its achievement.

Individuals

Ideally, a career transition is by choice. However, in this uncertain economic climate, many find themselves in transitions that are not of their choosing.

BtB has helped many individuals discover career paths that are ideally suited to their strengths. This is often a process of discovery where the individual becomes aware of variables such as managerial style, ability to function in a team, ability to be assertive, when necessary, and patterns of productive and unproductive behavior, to name a few. What one discovers along the way is transferable to all endeavors, both personal as well as professional. Whether your career transition is by choice or by necessity, consider it an opportunity to not only optimize your career options, but also to learn about yourself.

Organizations

The financial stress on organizations - private, public and family companies - in the current environment has resulted not only in cutbacks, but also additional and extraordinary pressure on the surviving employees. Companies are reorganizing and employees are taking on new and often unfamiliar responsibilities.

Drawing on Ms. Traeger's background in business and psychology, BtB utilizes coaching techniques and training workshops in order to facilitate such transitions, easing the stress on both the employee and the organization.

"The best help is the kind that helps you to help yourself."
