Michelle Perchuk Stamps Her Presence as a Top-Rated Career Building Coach

Building a career begins with getting a job which is a task that many people have no clue how to handle. Job seekers easily get lost in the job-seeking process, that they get frustrated along the line. Michelle Perchuk, a seasoned career coach with about two decades of experience in the business and the recruiting world, has taken it upon herself to help job seekers get on their feet and forge ahead with confidence when seeking a position in their dream workplaces.  Michelle Perchuk has worked at some of the top recruitment firms and worked with Fortune 1000 companies with their recruitment processes.

She established MTV Coaching to improve people’s lives thanks to her long-term relationships with human resource professionals, hiring managers, and C-Suite executives. She is big on building relationships and never fails to encourage job seekers to network extensively when seeking a new job. Michelle Perchuk believes that becoming a coach for her was always divinely ordained as her life-long goal has always been to give back, impact and improve lives. From her days as a consultant on Wall Street to the time she ran her own business, she has always been about making a difference in people’s lives.

MTV Coaching aims to ease the stress of getting a job during these uncertain times that the world has been thrown into. “The workplace is evolving at lightning speed. Jobs will become heavily competitive when things go back to normal, and many applicants need an expert’s help to help them stand out, interview successfully perhaps by video, dress appropriately, and craft powerful images and LinkedIn profiles. Many people won’t return to their jobs; that is the reality. Certain jobs will be eliminated, and yet new jobs will be created. Job seekers have higher requirements to satisfy, and we want to ensure they are well-prepared and packaged to clinch these job positions,” Michelle says.

Michelle brings her years of experience and certification as a coach from the International Coaching Federation. Her book on recruitment, “Swimming in the Talent Pool,” has been critically acclaimed by many hiring managers and job seekers. She is a multi-faceted expert looking to do some good in the job world. She has played a profound role in helping thousands of job applicants get employment at the top companies worldwide. Her coaching practice has also played notable roles in many career upgrades and promotions. Her story and personal journey serve as a relatable reference when building a connection with jobseekers as she understands their situation and can resonate with them.

To take her mission even further, Michelle Perchuk partnered recently with Knowable, the audio-only learning platform, to enable her to share knowledge with a wider range of people. Her target audience includes college graduates and business executives looking to pivot their careers or start new careers. Michelle is familiar with what companies and hiring managers look for in a candidate, and she walks her clients by the hand through those specifics.

Her company MTV Coaching is growing very quickly as people realize they need an expert to help them. Michelle Perchuk is determined  to grow her coaching practice, launch more courses and publish new helpful books. She keeps putting in work to grow her company while ensuring that more job seekers find the job search process less stressful. “Success is assured if you are eager and determined to be successful; all everyone needs is to be shown the right direction,” she says.

Kevin J Davenport: Helping Organizations Fly High and Succeed

Every organization wants to succeed and grow, but not all teams have what it takes to achieve their goals. Kevin J Davenport has a burden for such organizations and works tirelessly to help leaders set targets, strategize, execute plans, and reach their full potential through his many leadership training programs and lessons. 

Kevin Davenport is an Airbus Captain, US Marine Corps veteran, and leadership consultant. He owns and operates Stratus Leadership Development, a leadership facilitating, educating, and coaching firm that helps companies achieve their goals and visions. Kevin brings to the table decades of experience and proven leadership principles that he has picked up from his days in the US Marine Corps and as an airplane pilot. Those lessons have proven highly effective in helping leaders in various organizations build relationships with their clients, employees, and stakeholders.

Stratus Leadership Development brought together over twenty years of leadership experience and tried and tested strategies that have helped over a hundred large and small corporations experience significant growth to employee happiness and the bottom line. The company offers various programs for all companies of different shapes and sizes, both for-profit and nonprofit. 

Kevin J Davenport runs one-on-one coaching with managers and C-level staff who want to bring their careers and organizations to the next level. The leadership facilitator also helps companies set short to long-term goals and targets through careful planning and organizing. Stratus Leadership also provides a boot camp for professionals on leveraging LinkedIn marketing strategies to get more clients and grow their business.

What motivated Kevin to start a leadership consultancy firm despite his busy flying schedule was the massive gap in the market that he saw in leadership development courses that teach the lessons he ascribes to most. “I have found that people shift blame, not take responsibility, or use an excuse not to take that next step of owning their careers,” shares the captain and leadership expert. “I want to help bring awareness to the fact that if you take responsibility, your relationships will improve and make for a better life.”

Kevin is also an author who has penned two titles. His first book is entitled “Navigate Your Success.” His other book is one he co-authored—a children’s leadership book called Molly’s Leadership Follies: Power From An Idea Book One. Kevin J Davenport enjoys working with managers, executives, professionals, and employees who want to create more cohesive team dynamics, create a tactical advantage, and help employees get the promotion they’ve been dreaming of for a long time.

As the captain of an Airbus A-320, Kevin has learned to maneuver through proverbial and literal storms to keep hundreds of people safe while bringing them from point A to point B, something he hopes to translate in principle into hundreds of companies across the nation. The leadership consultant and airplane pilot has successfully flown over 1,000,000 passengers in his life, emphasizing excellent customer service and expectation management. Kevin J Davenport’s enthusiasm and spirit are contagious, creating a sense of hope, camaraderie, and optimism in companies he works with. He hopes to speak to thousands more and hopefully write a third title very soon. Learn more about Kevin by visiting his website and LinkedIn profile.
