EDGE

What our clients say . . .

"When we were evaluating companies to assist us with our coaching and leadership program at GEHC, we assessed many organizations and products.  We kept coming back to Marilyn Thiet and her solution that was customized to meet our needs.  She was willing to adapt her work to meet our competency model and growth traits.  She is an industry expert, a competent Learning and Development Consultant, and a person of integrity.  She will always be considered for our training needs."

Charlene Grabowski, General Manager X-Ray Sales and Marketing, GE Healthcare

"Tricia Chorlog of EDGE Performance Acceleration was hired on a contract basis to manage the next iteration of our Performance Management tool.  She joined us in the middle of our project, took charge immediately, and corralled a global team (IT and HR) to produce a successful launch.  Her work included the production of a reference guide, design of a Communication plan, call center support, and report production.  Tricia's management of this complex project was flawless.  I can't thank her enough for sharing her talents with us."

"At Fusion Sales Partners, Marilyn was able to quickly assess our competency needs and develop an overall training strategy. She then was able to drive strategy execution, accelerating the ramp up of our new hires and development of our veteran team. Our Quick Start program enabled us to improve new rep productivity and drive business growth"                                                                                                                                                                       

Kevin Donovan, former Executive VP Fusion Sales Partners, current Region VP GE Healthcare

"Marilyn was hired on a contract basis to lead a geographically and culturally diverse group of engineers, clinical applications personnel, physicians and marketing managers in the development of a critically important clinical option enabling a small secondary tumor to be biopsied using PET image guidance. Although this was, to say the least, a challenging program to begin with, Marilyn was able to successfully navigate through a variety of antagonistic personalities and uncompromising positions and lead us to a successful product introduction and FDA clearance. This would have been exceptionally challenging for a direct employee. The fact that Marilyn was able to lead this program (across 4 times zones) from a contract position speaks volumes about her program management skills, diplomacy, work ethic and commitment to results. Marilyn enjoys her work, never allows herself to be limited by any obstacle, responds constructively to any and all challenges and is clearly passionate about both the quality andeffectiveness of her results

Paul J. Mirabella Chairman and CEO Naviscan

Our leadership team has truly bonded and connected with Marilyn during the roll out of our leadership development series. She is very approachable and reputable. Her presentation style is collaborative and engaging. Participants look forward to our sessions together and most are making consistent efforts to utilize strategies they have learned from her in their day to day work.

Kim Ebinger, Program Director HealthReach Rehabilitation Services

Marilyn is a highly competent, ethical and forthright professional who puts at the heart of all that she does her passion for excellence and action.  I have had the pleasure to work with Marilyn over the last year, experiencing her as colleague, coach, facilitator, and sales strategist.  In every role, she has provided candid and direct feedback, as well as sharing generously of herself and her broad experience.  Without hesitation, I would recommend Marilyn to companies and individuals looking to optimize performance.  Importantly, Marilyn works effectively with members at every level of the organization, garnering trust and providing support and vision.  

(Ms.) Tucker Miller, Esq., Regional Director,  ELI, Inc.

I knew that our company needed to improve some of the skill sets of our sales and service teams. While I had ideas on what I thought we needed, once I contacted Marilyn Thiet of EDGE she was able to help me analyze the situation and more accurately assess our needs. Marilyn and her partners were able to implement training programs for both our service and sales teams that hit the mark on the changes we needed to make. After the training, EDGE has continued to stay with us and has continued to reinforce the learning through bi-weekly email touches. We have received feedback from our team as to how the continued reinforcement has kept what was learned in front of them, allowing them to continue to work on their developmental needs.
