Meet Marie Kane (Note that the head shot of me goes on this page too placed on the right midway in the top section which is 3 paragraphs. Embed with the text. Also note that in the section on what I have done, in every place an item is mentioned that is elsewhere on the site, put a link to it.)
I established Kane & Associates, a corporate coaching and consulting firm in 1981. In 2002 I changed the name to Executive Evolution as it more clearly represents the nature of the work I do with companies, groups and individuals.
I am an experienced executive coach, consultant, and executive level manager. Over the last 20 years, I have worked with organizations from small to Fortune 500 corporations in both the public and private sectors in a variety of industries. I also volunteer my professional services to specific non-profit organizations as a contribution to the community.
People who know me describe me as Results-Oriented, Process-Oriented, Direct, Versatile, Caring, Creative, Pragmatic, Visionary, Trustworthy, Systematic, Committed, Catalytic, Persistent, Perceptive, Focused, A Night Person, and Funny.
