| April 21, 2004 Discussion with Maggie Craddock, Author and Executive Coach At Fogarty's $15 entrance fee and cash bar Featured speaker was executive coach and author, Maggie Craddock, who spoke about “defining success on your own terms.” One of the topics she focused on is developing and exercising your own internal emotional courage in both professional and personal spheres and in the face of our rapidly changing economic environment. Maggie recently published the book, The Authentic Career: Finding Professional Fulfillment through the Path of Self-Discovery, which draws on her experience as an executive coach, therapist and former award-winning Wall Street money manager. Her book shows readers how to figure out the difference between what they really want from their lives and careers and what they have been taught they should want based on family values, advice from peers, and even professional mentors. In early March, ABC World News will be airing a segment profiling Maggie’s book. As an executive coach (see www.workplacerelationships.com), Maggie has worked with clients at all levels on the professional spectrum – from people reaching the Vice Presidential ranks for the first time to Fortune 500 CEOs. In addition, she has lead seminars for several top Wall Street firms looking at the similarities between workplace stress and combat fatigue. She has been featured on CNBC, National Public Radio and quoted in national publications including the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, and the Chicago Tribune. She has also authored several nationally syndicated articles on behavioral dynamics in the workplace. Some of her coaching techniques were recently featured in an article in Oprah Magazine called Seeing the Possibilities. Before pursing her career as an executive coach, Maggie worked for over a decade in financial services. Between 1991 and 1995, she was a Portfolio Manager at Scudder, Stevens & Clark managing $3 billion in short-term global assets. She received two 1992 Lipper Awards for top mutual fund performance: Best Short-Term Multi Market Income Fund, ranked #1 by Lipper in a universe of 77 funds, and Best World Income Fund over $1 billion in size, ranked #1 by Lipper in a universe of seven funds. Subsequently, Maggie became a National Director of Consultant Relations at Sanford C. Bernstein. There she represented the firm across all asset classes including emerging markets, domestic and international fixed income, and domestic and international equity to major consultants and pension fund clients nationwide. Maggie received a M.Sc. in Economics from the London School of Economics, specializing in Capital Markets. Ms. Craddock also received an MSW from New York University, is an Ackerman certified family therapist and has done both inpatient and outpatient work with posttraumatic stress disorder. Maggie holds a BA in Economics from Smith College. She is a licensed CSW and has held Series 7 and 63 securities licenses. |
