Why Choose Kelleher?

Kelleher Associates, LLC is the premier executive coaching and career transition counseling firm in the Delaware Valley.  Since 1998, our highly-personalized consultative approach has helped hundreds of senior executives secure new positions or improve their performance in an effective, timely manner.  Our firm’s success and reputation as an industry leader is founded on the premise that every client is unique in his/her career transition requirements and, accordingly, each deserves ongoing, individualized attention.  For each client, we design a specific search strategy utilizing a targeted, customized approach that helps differentiate our clients in a highly competitive marketplace.  And, we coach and counsel every client one-to-one, throughout the process.  We are the clear alternative to, and antithesis of, “commodity” outplacement.

Our key value-added differentiators include:

• We utilize a one-to-one career management approach, appropriate for senior executives. Our firm is not a “high volume production house”, nor do we service clients as if they’re on an “assembly line”.  We are committed to the individual, not the process. We limit our client to principal ratio to 20:1, the lowest in the industry.
• We customize every program to consider each client’s unique requirements holistically. In addressing individual needs, we develop a sound transition strategy, create each client’s specific value proposition, and design tailored career management solutions which help to competitively differentiate and position our clients in the marketplace.
• Our principals are all very senior, highly-experienced business leaders with senior executive, line management, human resource and executive search backgrounds that augment our strong coaching and counseling experience.  We understand first-hand the critical skills and differentiators required to be successful in the career transition process.
• Our principals are very well connected in the Delaware Valley and stay highly engaged in vital local organizations including the Greater Philadelphia Senior Executive Group, the Association For Corporate Growth, the Business Leaders Network, the MidAtlantic Employers Associated, the Philadelphia Human Resources Professional Society, the Forum of Executive Woman, and the Philadelphia and Mainline Chambers of Commerce.
• We strongly stress, encourage and facilitate targeted, thoughtful networking, the source of most new positions for senior executives in transition.  Our firm’s network of contacts in the region is truly exceptional and second to none.
• We have effectively supported career management and executive coaching clients from highly regarded global corporations such as GlaxoSmithKline, Campbell Soup, Rohm and Haas, St. Gobain, Arkema, SCA, Johnson & Johnson as well as smaller companies and organizations with less than ten people. We work with executives who are sponsored by their companies as well as those who are self-sponsored and want to invest in themselves.
