| Tony Mulkern brings to executive
coaching a unique set of experience and skills
that make his services particularly valuable to
clients. These include: |
 |
Executive Experience. He served for many
years as a senior officer at a rapidly growing, highly profitable mortgage banking
company and more recently as an interim VP at a leading company in the international money transfer industry, reporting to the President. Tony has faced the tough decisions that
all executives and senior management teams
must face. He has had to make and win support
for unpopular choices and has experienced first-hand
the limits of management theory. As a former Managing Director of an investment banking company, he is intimately familiar with the factors, both quantitative and qualitative, that determine the market value of an enterprise. |
|
Rigorous Background
in Socratic Dialogue. Knowing how to ask a client the right
questions, explore the implications of the
various alternatives, and “drill down” to
the core assumptions underlying a problem statement
are all essential to effective coaching. Holding
a doctorate in philosophy with
an emphasis in decision theory, Tony is invariably
seen as facilitating new insights and previously
unconsidered perspectives and choices. |
|
Extensive Counseling
Experience. Effective coaching requires establishment of
a very high level of emotional trust, genuineness,
and a capacity to show true empathy. As a member
of the La Cañada Presbyterian Lay Counseling
para-professional lay counseling team, Tony
has undergone hundreds of hours of training
with licensed clinical psychologists. As a
volunteer counselor, Tony participates in weekly
continuing education in leading edge counseling
theory and practice. |
|
First Hand Experience
Working with Diversity. As a student who worked his
way through college and graduate school, Tony
held various jobs including construction laborer,
grocery clerk and bagger, commercial milk truck
driver, and hospital laboratory assistant,
life insurance salesman and newspaper reporter.
From these diverse jobs, came a highly developed
capacity to relate well to those of diverse
ethnic, cultural, educational, and occupational
backgrounds, from entry level worker to CEO.
Born in Northern Ireland and growing up in
Texas, Tony also appreciates the challenges
faced by immigrants. He is widely traveled
throughout the U.S. as well as in Canada, Mexico,
Latin America, Europe, and Asia. |
|
| For Mulkern Associates, executive
coaching and leadership development are not a side-line,
an avocation, or a part-time enterprise. As the
firm undergoes growth parallel to that of most
of our clients, Tony Mulkern experiences the same
challenges to achieving life balance which are
experienced by all successful and highly motivated
professionals and executives. |
